Christmas Morning in South Korea 2013

Snug and warm indoors!  One improvement in my life came last fall with the landlord installing a new "boiler" to heat my apartment.  It's -3 C [26.6 F] outside with a light breeze.  Inside, it's 25 C [77 F]!  My cat and I both love the "ondol" (heated floor).  When it was first turned on, Bobo walked a few steps, looked carefully at the floor, then laid down on it.  After a minute, he repeated the action several times, trying out every square foot of the floor, even searching into the corners.  He clearly approves!

First Entry ll/22/2011

Gwangmyeong, Gyonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
Getting ready for classes. 8:30 AM
I teach conversational English to adults at the Ha-an Community Center for 12 hours a week, and also tutor some children privately.  I love living in Korea!  The people are so friendly and hospitable.  I truly feel like I have a bigger circle of friends here than I had in Maine.
