Sunday 11th February

As promised i have attached some photos. Hopefully they will work as GUESS WHAT? its all still in korea lettering.... fingers crossed.

As i have not mailed any photos for ages i will run you through them:

New year was spent in Pyongtaek with matt and some friends. I worer a Happy New Year crown in which i looked like the statue of liberty! well sort of, you get the picture.

My korean friend at school got married and we attended her wedding along with Lani and Tyler another couple who teach at my school, they are from Canada. Korean weddings are a bit like Vegas weddings, short and sweet, like a conveyer belt. It was in a wedding hall and each floor had a different wedding going on. Not at all personal and not at all romantic. But thats just how they do it.

On my birthday i got an amazing cake from Matt. It read "Happy Birthday Leanne 26 + 1"
I vowed not to turn 27. I will stay at 26 until i physicall get laughed at for lying. In that case i will become a botox queen. Honest!!

Today matt is cooking a pot roast. This i understand is an american term for roast dinner. but not like ours. But very nice may i add.

I didn't realise how different things were in america. We constantly have to "google "words to find the term we both understand:

Take for example the following

English: Corgette = American: Zucchini

You know what i could sit here for hours listing these words but i guess you get the message. Basically "it's different"....

So for now i will leave you and say "see you all soon" xxxxxxx
