CHUSEOK

We're out for Chuseok, one of the biggest holidays for Koreans. This year's holiday fell on days that made it possible for people to take the entire week, so many have taken family vacations. Flights out of Korea are impossible to find.

We Americans are all planning to sleep in. The beginning of school has been tiring, and this is the first real break. We're still dealing with sickness among our students. Fortunately, no one else has come down with my flu.

Abby's birthday is Monday. She plans to have over some Korean friends next Friday night.

Funny story: Twice in the past couple of weeks, Larry has had the same student exclaim, "You sound just like an American." (He was relieved!) The second time it happened, one of her classmates asked her if she thought he was Chinese.

A praise was finding a new apartment for two of the teachers. Their lease on their current apartment was running out. Unfortunately, the housing market is not good right now, so things are expensive and scarce. They will be moving the end of October to an apartment near us. (Larry says that is a prayer request!)
