Letters from Korea [26 October 2002]


Subject: thanx for reminding me the beautiful memory about canada
Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2002

hi.. how are you doing??
i'm having a break after midterm exams..
but i have a quiz on friday and.. a paper due on this coming monday..
never ending exams and papers~~~
i got your photos the day before yesterday..
they are so beautiful....
and make me recall the day when we went to Bowen Island...
as i told you there... i like that kind of trip..
a trip to the places where not many people visit...
and a trip that is fully organized by myself (not by tour guide or
something..)
in those kinds of trip we can find out something that people haven't
before..
some people like a package tour like visiting some famous spots..
to show off to people saying 'I've been there~~'..
anyway.. i should have visited there on a sunny day like in the
photos..
i really like the photo of a leaf.. and the sunlight shining through
it..
it is well taken..
and the photo taken in a cafe...!!
the cafe looks old but cozy at the same time..
i think that kind of cafes are way better than the big and new cafes..
everything is so well organized that i should not do
something
ruining it.. like chatting and laughing loudly..
but i believe that people have certain memory with those kinds of
cafes..
i hope your affection for the taking photos comes back soon...
and i think it would be really great if you come to korea sometime and
travel around the country taking photos of the scenery with me..
the natural sceneries in korea is pretty different from that of
canada...
the mountains and the rivers are not beautiful compared to canada..
but they have their own beauty.. i guarantee..
um.. imagining that you would come to korea and travel with me.. makes
me
so pleased and miss you more~~~
oh.. you know what?
this morning.. i was watching a tv show.. which was about food..
in that show.. they usually introduce food from many different
countries..
and today.. it was about food in vancouver..
from the show.. i could see gastown.. and english bay..
they introduced a restaurant which is 'Brother's restaurant'..
i think i've seen it before..
the other one was 'Raincity Grill' in english bay..
after watching the show.. i thought of the days in canada for whole
morning..
um.. i think i'm getting sentimental..
that sometimes happens for me in fall...

you talked about 'amazing race' before..
in korea.. the season one is playing.. because the cable channel
imports the
program.. we watch the show later than you watch it...
the contenders are now visiting india.. in the show that i'm watching..
actually.. india that shows in the show is a little different from my
imagination
i thought that it would be spiritual.. and peaceful..
but it was more like messy and filthy..
it can be outsider's point of view.. nobody knows before they
experience..

i'm so pleased that you like the cd..
after final exams.. i'm planning to make a cd collectiong the music that
goes
well with late autumn.. or winter..
but still long way to go until final...

by the way..
here in korea.. the weather is getting cold day by day..
do you guys have any food eating on a cold night?
typical korean would think baked sweet potatoes and chestnuts..
hehe.. i feel like eating them..
(it's cold outside now..)

i look forward to your next photos..
i'll tell you what i thought after i get them..
take care.. and miss you a lot..
