rain rain rain......sun??!

so with all the typhoon rain (nearly everyday since i've been back here) my flight was cancelled last friday evening to busan. with only one flight a day to busan and only going for the long weekend........leaving on the next possible flight (assuming it was going) wasn't 'till saturday night. uugghh!! instead of flying i got a refund and took the bus to seoul friday night and then first thing saturday morning i took the ktx (the high speed train ~250km/h.....but sometimes as fast as 300 km/h) with tobi. not so bad........but it meant travelling for about 7 or 8 hours instead of the 1 hour flight. i was keeping my fingers crossed that the return flight for monday evening would still be on schedule.

we arrived at aisha's apartment to many hugs, kisses and smiles all around. we sat around her apartment for the morning filling each other in on stories from the past months. it's always great to see tobi, aisha, and kyra but it was a special treat to see our friend from the first year we taught here---mi kyung. she is such a great girl. we didn't do a whole lot in busan because it rained the whole time we were there. but it was just good to be with close friends who don't live so close.

on sunday afternoon---during a 5 minute break from the rain---we decided to take a walk on the beach and few minutes into it i ran into an old friend from home, dale knowles, and his wife, beth anne---whom i've never met. it was fun to finally meet her and to chat for a while. they have been here since march and are having a good time.

surprisingly after it rained hard all day monday......my flight did take off. i arrived back in sokcho and have just been hanging out waiting for summer to maybe begin before i leave 2 weeks from now. today it is actually partly sunny!!! t and i were thinking of going to a larger city an hour south of here, for something to do but maybe we'll stay in sokcho...........
