Dash

forgot to say that while touring the pulguksa temple today, there were the requisite 80 million korean schoolchildren touring right along with us. and they are all so eager to practice their english on us. and i can't deny them that. they're so eager. so it's usually just "hi" "what's your name?" "nice to meet you." it's very easy to figure out what phrases the english teachers are teaching them. but as I was "conversing" with an 8 year old boy, he announced to me that he had "to dash to meet his teacher." dash.

Hi Em,
Sorry I haven't written. I didn't check all week because I thought you wouldn't have access at the monasteries.... Sounds like you've been very busy. So happy you're enjoying your trip! Love, Leah

i guess you can't really share your flash cards with those children. you don't need to be teaching them "no, i won't do that."
