This week

Hello everyone,

We are having a great time here. We are having a snow storm today but I heard you guys were hit with a massive snow storm around Ottawa in the past few days. Here the snow melts in a day. Yesterday, it was so nice, the sun was shinning and it felt like the fall in Ottawa.

The snow is falling and we are getting ready for Christmas. We have Friday off and are hopefully if the weather is nice, we will go back up to Mount Halla. We have completed some snowshoes to go and explore the top of the mountain. The shoes are very similar to the originals made by the Native Indians. They are made of PVC plastic and rope. I hope they work. I will put some pics up of our little experiment. It should be fun.

As for Christmas, we hope to go to the beach and have a fire and maybe go for a swim. We are having friends over from Christmas Eve and hopefully have a few games and enjoy each others compagny. On x-mas, we will take it easy in the morning and await or make phone calls home. We will have breakfast and open some presents. We have a Christmas tree to put the presents under. It will be nice. Then in the afternoon, I want to go to the beach. I hope it will be nice.

These next two days, we will be celebrating x-mas with kids at school. It should be interresting. Korea celebrates x-mas since in the past 30 years, 35 % have converted to Christianity and of course capitalisme has had its toll. This is the first x-mas from our friends and family. We will miss you all.

JOYEUX NOEL MERRY CHRISTMAS

Talk to you all soon,

Christian and Karina
