Home Stay Three

I a mcurrently with my third family. I met the father las tnight, Mr. Lee. They have a beautiful apartment here in a town just outside of Gwanju. They have three beautiful young boys, 13, 9, and 7. As I arrived eysterday, Mr. Lee took me to his Golf shop, which he owns and runs. He also owns a shop in Seoul. He gave me a tour of the whole house yesterday, first my bedroom, his many plants, even the closets where he showed me his old army and volunteer figherfighter uniform. it was very cute. Then we looked at pictures for some time. In Korea, all young men must serve in the army for two years...I think this is a great idea as it gives all of them men a common experience from which to grow and learn...

The last few days ahve been exciting. The current picture is that of myself and the KIA Tigers mascot, as wer were able to see a baseball game. Very exciting and full of energy, you would have thought we were at a playoff game!!

We visited several temples over the last two days at it was Buddha's Birthday...a national holiday here we paid many respects to Buddha and Buddhism...

Last nights dinner was the highlight, as we ate chicken soup near a lake which reflected the massive mountains in the backround which were streaming with fod and clouds...almost indescribable in words...

More to come tonight, as we are heading out for the day...thanks again for reading, stay healthy, be healthy, no worries...
