hi richard~!
how was your christmas?
i had a great time with my family..
we all went to church to celebrate christmas eve..
i got your gift safely....
hehe.. it was a cute and pretty little pig... (actually.. ubc pig..)
i love it!!!!
thank you so much..
one weird thing is the tail of the pig is not twisted..
i thought that every pig has twisted tail.. but the one you sent me had
straight one..
and i got your photos in seoul..
actually.. i didn't have enough time to enjoy your painting..
because i was pretty busy with packing..
(in fact, it was not for me... but for my sister who's gonna spend her
winter vacation in sunchon)
in couple of days.. i will be in seoul..
i will tell you what i thought about your paintings then..
i took some photos with my friend and my sister..
the school campus was beautifully decorated..
so we couldn't miss it..
i'm sending you some of the photos.. (the person with me is my
sister..)
hope you like my school (although it's a little hard to see the
background
because it's dark..)
the small house which looks like a hut is the place where we think the
baby
Jesus was born..
my school was founded by Jesuit..
so christmas is one of big holidays which my school celebrates with
easter..
i'm planning to sending you a new card..
i will mail it tomorrow.. (i hope so.. )
i hope you like it..
on the card there's a small accessory attached..
technically.. it is for cell phones
but as far as i remember.. you don't have a cell phone... right?
instead.. you can put it on your bag or.. key ring..
anywhere you want..
it is the miniature of a traditional korean sock..
it's finally the end of 2003..
after 2000.. it is so scary whenever new year is coming..
2004.. 2005.... 2010..
for me.. who was born in 1979..
the years start with 20-- still sound strange..
Chretian had also finished his term..
i'm curious about the new prime minister..
in korea people tend to like someone who fights against the
government..
we had the new president from february 2003..
he worked as a lawyer who stands for disprivileged people..
we thought that he can represent laymen well..
but so far.. nothing has changed.. and people are pretty much
disappointed..
i think all the people who have political power are same..
a human being changes after he becomes a politician.. although he was not
corrupted before..
anyway..
the new year is coming..
i hope all the happiness and the best wishes with you..
bye.. take care..
