hi.. richard~!
sorry for not writing you back soon~
how's everything?
i think it is getting warmer day by day in vancouver...
here.. it is like early summer..
warm.. but sometimes a little hot..
because of the warm weather.. we can easily find cherry blossom all
over..
whenever i walk along the way where the trees stand.. i feel like it is
snowing
in the middle of spring..
there's a saying that if someone holds the one of flying cherry blossoms
petal..
his dream comes true.. i know that it is cheesy.. but sounds
romantic.. isn't it..?

by the way..
i got the picture that you sent me... and the map too..
i couldn't understand the picture at first.. because i have never seen
the
commercial.. but after reading your email again..
and i found your clever sarcasm again..!!
as you have done before.. i think this one is also great and made me
laugh..

while seeing the map.. i hope the idea that i want to travel around the
peninsula with you.. would come true some time in the future..
actually... around my hometown.. Sunchon.. there are lots of good
places to
visit..
i like the explanations you added.. ^O^
and 'CHONNAM' is the short form of the province name 'CHOLLANAMDO'

the hamster is hanging on his cage again...
he likes to hang.. and sometimes upside down on the roof...
so cute~~!!
his name is just 'HAM' ...
i found that the name 'ham' goes well with his appearance well..
maybe you were expecting a name like king or emperor...
but you know what?
try to pronounce~!
let me explain linguistically.. ^__^
the /ae/ sound is high vowel.. so inside of your mouth goes up..
and that makes your voice sounds cute~~~~ hehe.. believe me~!
so i think nothing but the name 'ham' can go well with his cuteness..
i attach a picture of some other hamster...
it is not my hamster.. but quite similiar..(i found it on the web..)

the beautiful weather and views attract me.. and i want to go to hike
somewhere..
it would be wonderful if it is with you...
um... it makes me miss you more~~~
bye for now..
take care...
sincerely...
