highlights and lowlights
beautiful friends... here are some ideosyncracies about the place in which we live (wonju):
-gimchi, a delightful aromatic combination of cabbage and spice
-cold 'cooksu' or noodles, with an egg on top -- not so pleasant :)
-cheap taxis and efficient bussing
-no shower curtains; rather, drains in the bathrooms that allow you to shower by merely standing on the floor and letting the water slip through the floor... messy, but smart
-thousands of mysterious bugs, especially at night (a lowlight for emily)
-jungle-type forests, riverlets and lakes, and countless gardens along the roads culturing red peppers, rice, corn, and what appear to be squash and bananas
-wild rose bushes and many other gorgeous wild flowers
-stores squished side by side, some of which feature broken english on the front, all of which offer either korean food, clothes, hairstyling or computers
-friendly smiling faces, little english
-many sports complexes/gyms
-mountain peaks and hiking trails
trent and i are clinging to each other. it's good for us to need the other once again. it's also encouraging to have friends here from edmonton, who are actually living in the apartments we'll be moving into (on sunday). we're slowly getting over jet lag, and starting to love life again. thank you for your prayers. we'll be getting an address/ cell number soon, and will share that with you when we can.

I read this and smiled =)
(esp. about the mysterious bugs part) I would not be too keen on that, but you'll get used to it. It sounds really cool, I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of this place! It's good to be in a place where you need each other -- puts new perspective on "mountain top vs valley" experiences with God. -- He prob. feels the same way about us. I pray the best for you, and peace, AND adjustment to sleep patterns =)
Take Care Guys,
Love A.
Sounds like a great place. What an adventure... you guys up for some company?
You know, I'd love to come visit. How long you guys there for? Jenn & I are planning to have a pretty significant vacation in the next year or 2.
