Korea

Yesterday I arrived in Korea with my student Phillip. We are staying in Seoul with my friends Jocelyn and Tom. It was a great flight. Asian Airlines is wonderful. The fact that the stewardesses reminded me of my student Dani Fregia is my way of saying that they made the whole flight enjoyable.

The flight actually came in an hour earlier than I expected, and no sooner did I leave customs then Tom appeared at my shoulder. He was there with his absolutely charming niece Cindy, and they took us from the airport in Incheon to Seoul. Tom is Korean, and is the most polite person I can imagine--well tied with my friend Sang Shin. Cindy has become my Korean tutor, and she enjoys laughing at my mispronunciations.

Yesterday I did my first teaching. I loved it. Today I will have more students. I have been juggling for the kids and playing the flute. Nearby is a huge children's park where we ran. There was a place for climbing and another place where for a small price you can go and pet a collection of about twenty dogs. They loved it almost as much as we did. Phillip saw two cute girls last night about his age and so he is motivated to learn Korean. ha ha
See you later!
