3 weeks to go!

and that's only 2 weeks left of teaching! i can't wait to be back in korea with my friends and t and i finally feel like time is passing more quickly than usual. i do my last visa renewal this weekend across the bridge to burma. i want nothing more than to be back in korea with my friends but leaving my burmese family isn't going to be easy. these people have been nothing less than respectful, appreciative, accepting, kind, caring and wonderful to me since the day i arrived. i certainly don't look forward to the goodbye.

after 9 days straight of rain with no sun, the past few days have had sunny breaks between the downpours........this gives me a small bit of hope that i just may be lucky enough to have a sunny break or two when i'm on the beach for a few days before my return to korea. the rainy season has definitely arrived. i don't really like it very much. it just keeps raining and raining. it's kind of amazing actually, but not very great for the beach. the guys i live with love to laugh at their joke of me sitting on the beach with my umbrella. not funny guys.........it may just happen like that! oh well, at least the scenery will be amazing!
