Newzealand

I really want to go to NZ because I will try to apply my work-visa and speak english.I can't speak english in Korea so I am getting forget english.When I go to outside I didn't see foregin people.I miss my NZ friends especially Seunghee,Soyoung,Miyoung,Erin and Gavin.I am interested in NZ life so I didn't connect Korean's friends.Sometimes they who live in Korea can't understand me so I don't want to talk anythings.This situations gave me stressful time.I will go to NZ next week.After I will come back I will very busy.I have to buy new car and Lewis has to check his body for extension of student visa.I will meet Mr. Youn who is laywer.I will apply to work visa and I will work.I am very nervous but I am excited in my new life.Anyway I will go to NZ 10th of April.I hope I will get a NZ new life for my own life.

Best friend and aunts

I went to my best friend's house.It took 2hours from my house so I was very tired but I really missed my best friend.She is primary teacher and she has one son but she want to divorce with husband.We talked lots of things last night we understood each other quite well.She cooked delicious meal for me.I enjoyed my rest time with my friend.This moring(sunday)I met my aunts and uncles.I have 5 aunts who are over 70years.Only my mom passed away so I suddenly missed my mom.When I have lived in NZ I somtimes called my aunts but they thought I won't go to NZ anymore.I really hurt my heart and sorry to them.I am as a their daughter.Meanwhile I was so so sad because they are getting older and wick.Especially I extreamly miss my mom...............

Norico

Norico and Kate came to my house.We ate lunch together and went to insadong road which is Korean traditional road.Norico was interested in Korea suveniar so she bought a few things.I just searched price of Gavin's friend's gift but it was very different price from each shop so next week I will go to korean big market.These days I am very tired but I can't take a rest because I have to meet my friends.Norico gave to my kids lots of gifts.Ashely received wallet,it is very qute.Lewis received Japanese popular jumper and underwear,I received Japanes bread and candy.I am very thanksful.We will go to Lotteworld(smilar Diseneyland) on friday.
My kids are expecting playing with Norico.Me too...

Enjoy my free time.

I enjoy my free time at Korea but the weather is so cold even snowing in a spring season.I went to my friend who got a cancer and cured cancer.Her face is so wick.When I met her this morning I was very surprised.She is stil losing weight and she doesn't working.Before I went to her house I decided that I don't cry in front of her but I didn't control my mind.At last I cried very freely in fornt of her.Today I was so sad she said when she was in hospital she has seen an evil at that time she shoutted she really wanted to live longer.
Somtimes somone who is serious case can see a angel or an evil.I am glad that she can conquest her disease and relive.My feeling mixed happiness and sadness.

Too busy

My Korea's life is so busy.I am sauna at the moment.I went here with my five friends yesterday,We talked news of each other until 2am.I woke up at 5am this morning,took a shower and drank a cup of coffee.My friends still nice and thoughful.One of my friend's husband upgraded his social position,it was very grad and good news.Another friend will buy bigger house.They had good news so I feel that I am very happy and satisfied.They always worry about me because they thought my NZ life will really good for me.Some feiends asked me I should give up,another friends give me cheer up
but who knows? Even I don't know my future.
Anyway Seoul is extreamly busy.IF I go to somewhere,I always use transport it is ridiculous.So many people,very noisy,a bad air and bad smell.I would like to go to NZ.I miss a quite place,a pure air,a normal road and a calm city.I realised I want to be real NZ resitance.Although I met my husband,I didn't happy and I concern about my life.

Come back home!!

When I arrived in Korea at 6:40 on tuesday.The weather was so cold,thick air and traffic was terrible but it was different NZ's life.I cleaned my house,went to hospital for me and Lewis and met my friend.Even this is Korea but I also very busy.
I don't have a car it is very uncomfortable.I hope weather is getting warmmer.I will meet my relative family and my friends all the time.I am very excited.
My husband is so strange because he lived in seoul alone although his weight is just same KG.I can't understand.Anyway he is extreamly different with me that caused streeful for me.Time is so so fast.I want to go to NZ quickly.Erin is practcing how to be mom,Gavin is working and I am preparing my new life.I am soooooo tired.

I am very sleepy..

The weater is cold and it seems to be winter.
I packed my luggage in the morning and cleaned Lewis's room.Next monday we are going to back Korea and Erin is going to move to my house.Gavin is going to his placement for teaching practice.Erin and Gavin are too upset and sad.They love each other but they have to live seperately.It will be extreamly sad.Meanwhile they are seperated by their life but they will meet after 2weeks,they make sure their love.Don't be upset and sad!!
I expect to meet my family and real friends.Ahley and Lewis too.Even I live in Korea I will try to read English article and write in my blogue.I promised with myself.
Today Gavin and Erin will come to my house because we have to say goodbye.I made a beef stew,side dishes.Last time when they ate a beef stew,they really love a beef stew.I will miss my Korean friends and NewZealand's friends.

Religion.

Religion is a very serious subject. If someone believes in God, we call them Christan. If somone believes in Buddha, we call them Buddhist. If we debate religion, we have a variety of opinions. I just believe my destiny and my siprit. If I help somebody, I will get some luck or someone's help in return. If I harm somebody, I must receive something bad in return. I just believe in a normal life(give and take). I sometimes deal with another person, sometimes I don't deal with them. Do people who are religious have an opinion? Why must they believe in God or Buddha? Does God exist in heaven?

Today Sajin, Sebin's mom and Challen came to my house. After we ate lunch, they talked about church. Challen and Sajin have church problems. They looked for another church. They said their church had lots of problems but I didn't agree because if I were Christan, I wouldn't complain in front of another person. They should think about their own religion problem in their heart; even I have negative feeling about religion.

Different customs.

I am very interested in western customs because I want to move to NewZealand and Lewis want to study in America.Sometimes I have experiences with different thinking,food,manner etc.It is very interesting.It just my curiosity and I want to escape from Korean custom but I am still Korean,maybe forever.In my thought,Korea's are better than western,vice-versa.For example,western man usually cook very well,but Korean man doesn't cook often(except new young generation)
Western woman is stronger than Korean woman.My feeling is that western people are little bit more selfish than Koreans.ANYWAY very interesting.Sometimes I envy them and sometimes I am surprised.That is my cuture shock.I learn a lot of things from Gavin and Erin.Thank you so much.

BBQ and C.L.F

We went to Gavin and Erin's house. They invited us for dinner.
The chef was Gavin. People who were involved in this party were Erin, their roommate Nicole and her boyufriend, Phil. Before I met them,I felt a little bit nervous but after I met her,I felt very comfortable. Also, Nicole is teacher which is why my feeling was very good. The dinner menu was salmon, korean beef, kumara, potatoes and corn. Gavin made everthing by himself. It was so so delicious. I have never eaten homemade western food before(except when Erin made stirfry but that was at my house which is different). It was my first time. It was so exciting. Thanks for cooking!!!
After dinner, we walked to the Chinese Lantern Festival in the city.
The lights were so beautiful but I worried about kids because it was quite crowded so they might get lost from the adults. So I was getting tired but I was so happy because my kids and theit kiwi friends were satisfied with dinner and the festival.I am going to the sunday market with Jasmine and Ashley before I will drop them off at their house.
I am tired. Deep sleep please.....................

Letter

Hi, I am one of your best friends.^^
Today's weather is overcast.
This morning was very sunny but suddenly the weather has changed.
I was feeling upset, too. However after I read your letter, I am so happy.
I was so glad to recieve your email and when I read your letter I felt like I had met you again.
Don't be upset about your English because you should have pride. Your major isn't english and you have just studied for 3 years. You don't need to compare with another person.
Just be yourself.
If you keep studying english more and more,your english skills will be much improved.
I guarantee you.
I thought that I learnt english from you when we studied together at golden section.
I always concentrated on how to make sentences so I was often thankful to you.
CHEER UP!!YOU CAN DO IT!!
I really miss you because you and I have similar problems so we can connect with each other.
If you live in nz,we will be best friends. Although we live far away, we can try to keep our good relationship by phone and email.
Erin doesn't have an internet line, but I will tell her about your wish.
When we meet next time, I will call you with Erin.
I have to memorize lots of vocabulary but I didn't do that.
I am a little bit lazy.^^~
Kate, Thank you for your email.
I am looking forward to hearing from you again.
I hope you will have your own life and you can find a solution to your problems.

miss you.....

ps: My grammer is so bad ,can you understand me?^^

FRIEND

One of my friends got cancer so she had an operation on her womb last month.I feel so bad because she is soo nice and thoughtful which is why she did not deserve this pain. She is 43 years old, has lots of money, a son and daughter as well as a nice husband who has a warm-heart and good communication skills. She seems perfect. I always envy her and I sometimes feel jealous. After I heard about her pain,I cried for a long time. I REALLY MISS HER and I really want to see her quickly. When I go to Korea, I will meet her as soon as I can. She is in the hospital at the moment. I hope she will have a healthy body and mind again. Maybe god will help her. She belives in god....

Good morning.

I woke up eary at 4,30am.I already packed my kids's lunchboxes and I made breakfast.Paknsave's parking lot is empty,roadlamps are lit and car's drive in front of my house occasionally.My house is quite quiet.I feel peaceful.
I am going to school to ask about Tom's homestay problem.
If Erin can,Tom and I are satisfied however I have a concern that Erin will have stress by Tom's behaviors.I believe Tom's nature is nice character and I trust Erin's ability.
Gavin,Erin and me......
What kind of destiny do we have? To meet peoples,it is very mysterious such as to be a live.If somethings want to help me,I just want to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH"
