Remembering My Korean Teacher

Dear Ms. Kyung Hee Lee,

The short time you spent with us exhibited the kindness, warmth and hospitality of the Koreans. Special mention are the friends from Giam-hae. We had a good museum visit, a nice car ride and a sumptous dinner. :)


The dinner at your home brought us, your guests from China, Vietnam and Indonesia to become in touch even at far distances. I communicate with Dr. Jia of China, Suri of Indonesia, and LeNgoc Bich of Vietnam. I hope to start communicating with you and your friend, Ms. Jo Mi-Hye.

My shopping spree became convenient with the help of your husband assisting me with the things I'm looking for. I think the Korean stainless chopsticks, coffee stirrer and fruit forks are of the best quality.

And of course, the best part and very unforgettable, a very rejuvinating experience is the jimjibang or the Korean sauna. I also think it's one of the best sauna in the world, very wholesome, very warm and spacious saunas with healthy baked eggs and drinks! Aside from the red ginseng tea, I actually brought home some of those healthy red juices for women. :)

I hope I will have the chance to see Busan again, to see all of you. :)

Thank you for the friendship, the hospitality and the cultural experience.

Cheers,
