three....

I know I've mentioned it before, but I really like sunshine :) This past weekend was springy again, although somewhat breezy. After Bible Study on Saturday, "Jane" and I met up with "Rainy." We haven't hung out with her in AGES. She's been extra busy with her classes and had a trip home to the Philippines for a few weeks, too. Anyhow, we went out for lunch, and then went to a Noraebang- just like old times :). Rainy had to leave for class then, but Jane and I hung out, and then caught another girl at the church- Jae Moon. We sat at a cafe practicing English/Korean for awhile before it was time for young adults group at church. That night, Tracy and I rented "Lost in Translation." I won't really recommend this movie to you, (partially because it would probably be boring, and partially because of some moral issues), but I could understand many aspects of it quite well after living here. The plot is basically about two Americans staying in Tokyo for a week, each feeling very alone, and the experiences they have. I did find it unrealistic that they would be that fed up with being there after only one week, though. It was very amusing to watch them (the Americans) use chopsticks- they held them so far down! Koreans hold their chopsticks at the very end, and they're skinny and metal, so much more slippery than the wooden ones, too! :) Maybe the best part of the movie to me was how they got in with a random bunch of Japanese and went to a Karaoke room (looked just like a Noraebang to me- with tamborines and everything!) :). After service on Sunday, Abra and I went to "Sky Lounge" restaurant and sat in a wonderfully sunny window for hours just talking. It's called "Sky Lounge" because it's on the 10th floor of the building (The only taller bulidings I see in Dangjin are apartment buildings... they go up to 13 or 15 floors or something). And now, it's Monday again :(. Weekends definitely need to be longer. Ahh, and it looks like our plans for DMZ may have fallen through (the tour was already full), so we'll be doing that a different weekend. AND.... Now I've hit the 3/4 mark! Just 3 months until I'm home!
