An nyeong!

I'm learning Korean! I'm reading the Bible with a Korean lass, and every second week she teaches me some Korean. I can say things like hello, hello politely, my name is, what's happening, yes, no, awkward. Also, for some reason, do you want to die, which is an aggressive phrase that some young Koreans say to their friends as a joke but shouldn't be used as a conversation starter. 

Also I can say goodbye. Jai ga!

My first holiday!

Well, my first in this job at least. I went to Perth for a friends wedding, and while I was there caught up with work and church friends, and spent a few days watching movies with my sister. I even touristed a bit, going into the underwater observatory at the end of Busselton jetty. All in all pretty good mix of fun and rest. 
The water was a bit murky but there were huge shoals of whitebait, which is apparently a bit uncommon. I didn't take my camera to the wedding, so I have to wait for Facebook to come up with nice ones. 

I did everything on public transport! I caught 3 trains, 2 planes and 9 buses! 7 different people were nice enough to offer lifts as well, some of them more than once.

I got home on Tuesday night, and have been struggling to get work done since then, but today I put on a big load of washing and started writing a bible study on singleness, and there are bread rolls in the oven for lunch!
