Well, life here has been interesting, and fun. There are certain things they do here that are really different than at home. We wear slippers all day at school- we're not allowed to wear our outside shoes inside, only in the entry way. We're supposed to do the same thing at home, although sometimes it's just too much to take off your shoes everytime you walk in, so I just clean the floors instead! The Koreans are very conscious of their health, you will see masks all over, as well as a lot of medicine if you go to the doctor. One friend here got sick, had a cold, went to the doctor, and they gave her 7 different prescriptions to take for 3 days. That just seems a bit extreme, but they all swear by it!
The food is still the same, they put in a "Dos Tacos" 3 subway stops away from us, I have been there 3 times in the past 2 weeks. It is delicious and dangerously close!! I still have been eating some Korean food, as well as making a lot of sandwiches- egg, pb&j, turkey and mayo, even BLTs, minus the T :)
I continue to meet very nice people. My friend Jackie and I met a couple military boys last weekend, they were very nice. We're talking about going to church with them on the base for Easter this Sunday, if that doesn't work, we found another church that is pretty close that we'll just go to. There is an English mass which will be nice!
I got homesick for the first time yesterday- It is about the 5.5 week mark, and I think a lot of things just came pouring down on me, but I'm feeling much better today. Tuesdays and Thursdays are really good days at school because we do not have afterschool classes. MWF, we have afterschool until 6, and the days drag on!
Of course I'm still missing everyone at home, and praying that everyone is doing well and remains in good health. Please keep in touch! Until next time...
Love,
Lindsey
