We are embarking on a great adventure, one of learning and teaching. We will embrace our new surroundings and grow in a new culture.

I am a millionnaire

Hello everyone,

We are doing very well. This week has been a little hard with the new schedule but everything is going well. It is snowing at the moment and I think it will be like this for the week-end. We will probably take it easy. The roads will be to bad to go upp to Mount Halla.

As I stated, we are millionaires. We got paid. It was nice. We get paid in millions of wons. The conversion rate is around 1000$ to 1000000 won. It was nice to get the first paycheck because know we can explore the island a little more and buy a car.

The big news in Seogwipo for the week is the opning of the Home Plus. It like a Walmart and everyone form Seogwipo and the surroundings most have been there yesterday because when we went to visit we could see people everywhere. There must have been 100 thousandspoeple who visited the store yesterday to get deals but there is only around 90 thousands in the city itself. We were told people would come from everywhere on the island to go to this place. They even have Brie cheese there. We don't really miss it but one hting we miss is pita bread or wraps. We can't find them anywhere.

Hope you had a great week in 2006. I sure did.

Talk to you soon.

Christian and Karina
