Korean Presents, Korean Lessons

Another day in Korea. Luc's watching the hockey game, and I was talking to mom over the webcam. I'm getting to the microphone, I swear it.

Annyong Haseyo! Yesterday, Luc and I started our Korean Lesson with Ben. He's from my branch, and he's definately not fluent, but he knows more than us. We were the only ones there. I felt kind of bad, becuase he was expecting a lot of people, but it was like having a private lesson without having to pay for it. I think a lot of people forgot. I'm glad we're going to these. They are only once a week, so we have to remember to practice. The little bit we do know, we keep looking at the gazillion signs that are around and trying to figure them out. We also bought a book, Survival Korean, that I am learning from. I've only done the first two hours, in like, a half an hour, but I'm getting there. I wish I was good at picking up languages.

So today, your Tuesday, presents arrived in the mail. There is a lot, and mom is going to be dividing it up for everyone. She was holding it in front of the webcam to make sure everyone had the correct objects. It only took a week and a half to get there, that's not bad at all I think. I was nervous, becuase the options for receiving a package sounded like if it was not going to be delivered right away, if mom or dad weren't home, they were going to send it back right away. Korea Post is silly.

Aunty Janet, I hear that you STILL have not received your Christmas card. That is so lame! Aunty Jo, when did you FINALLY get yours? I'm so sorry about that!
