I went to a nearby church about a 5 minute walk from my apartments. I have to say that I've never lived in a city as dark as Uijeongbu, so going to church and being surrounded by wonderful Koreans and great food was like a breath of fresh air and familiarity. I had no idea what the pastor was saying, but my new friend Eun Jung would translate for me during and after the service. I met many new Korean friends, which touched my heart, because I had only known the other foreigners so far. Anyone that knows me understands how much more familiar having Korean (or other Asian) friends is than having foriegner (American/white-skinned) friends. We had service, dinner, choir practice, and another service. The pastor is so wonderful. He told me that I could stay at church as long as I wanted to. They have a Wednesday night service with supper that I plan to attend. Eun Jung is unable to go because she currently lives in Seoul, which is quite far.
Nashly, some of my new Korean friends, and I plan to have lunch in Insa-Dong this Saturday night. Still cleaning the apartment. So far I spent $80 on cleaning supplies and the mold and mildew are coming off...yeah!!
The computer is needed, so I have to go. No internet yet.

My friend's husband lived in South Korea for awhile and they say that mold and mildew are a recurring problem. You'll have to buy stock in Clorox. Do they sell Clorox there?
