meeting miya
the world is shrinking by the second...and time is curling up like a cat on its rug ... for me anyway. i feel that way as i only have one month left in korea.
God is helping me make the most of that month -- and today was proof of that. today i met miya for the first time in person....
miya found me through our blog. she's a 26-year-old korean graduate student in seoul, whose english is better than mine some would say. she's studied in england, and taught in the phillipines.
we wandered the streets of 'insadong' and 'sam chung dung' together: artsy, europeanesque streets of seoul... we were surrounded by fellow artists with large cameras and funky clothing.miya treated me to lunch (beepimbop -- my favourite, consisting of rice and vegetables) and then i shopped up a storm in preparation for returning home with armloads of useless souvenirs :)
afterwards we scoped out the library, some museums (the museum of tibet, and the national folk museum) and smelled some of spring's most delicate blossoms.
it was a wonderful day of putting a face to a name...

miya is a tender soul with a giant heart. thank God for our shrinking world...

That sounds like a cool adventure. Only one month left! Wow! I can't beleive it. Time really is flying. That means that in like 3 months Trent will be coming home as well. This year has flown by.
it is amazing how small the world has become. Glad that you were able to put a face to a name:)
enjoy your last month friend:)
love,
Mel
Wow! This looks soo fun! I love the street scene pic. It is a smaller world -- the fact that we can all be in touch but live in different countries on different continents, is proof in the puddin'...I can't believe you are coming home soon! Sad that we will still be far away. I thank God for you -- talk to you soon my friend,
love,a.
It's cool the people that God brings into our lives...looks like you guys had an awesome day together! And the blossom pictures are beautiful :0)
I can't believe how fast time has slipped by...you're going home in a month, and we're done in 2. Your mom is in our prayers.
