there's so much i want to tell, to write, to describe (partying with and getting to know the work crew, meeting randoms at bars, falling completely in enchantment with a special korean guy, making my house a home, feeling much more grounded and continuing to embrace the quirks of korea)...and when i am in better health i'll make the time to do so. but presently, and rather unfortunately, i have caught a cold for the second time this winter (wtf korea?! i haven't been this sick and in such repeated doses, in years!) so my holiday holla will be brief.
it doesn't feel at all like christmas. maybe it's because in korea, things continue as they usually do. no stores are closed, people work (yep, including me) and while people celebrate christmas, it's not nearly to the degree that it's celebrated in the states. i'm glad that it's not christmas crazy materialistic. though, believe me, koreans don't really need a holiday to get people to buy things! for some, i think shopping is like a full time job!
i went to suwon this morning to visit with my aunt and uncle. they are such lovely lovely people and i'll go back to suwon next wednesday to visit with my cousin who will be coming home for a week from japan! i've been re-connecting with family and friends, cultivating solid friendships, so i feel very gifted with such caring beautiful people closeby.
i miss you all stateside, that's FO'SHO! so holla at your girl, and i'll be sure to do the same. merry christmas! xoxoxoxox big love from k-town.
