My package arrived from home today (thanks, sis). I did not expect my impulse purchase from a few weeks ago to arrive in it along with my awesome new Tevas.

I've never seen people move themselves in Korea. Instead they hire movers to do everything, including boxing and unboxing your stuff. Then they use these awesome lifts, which I've seen extend as high as 16 stories, to move things in and out of your apartment.

It's pretty cool to watch.

It rained and rained all day on this, Buddha's birthday. I bet these trees outside my window appreciated it.

I spent much of the day writing and studying Korean, some of it even outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather. Late in the afternoon, two curious 3rd grade girls approached me, obviously interested in the strange foreigner and what I was doing.

I was happy to talk with them for a few minutes, then I had them help check my Korean workbook. Finally, as any good Korean child does, they happily posed for a picture. It was a good day.
