*HELLO! Sorry it's taken so long!*
Hello Seong Ja!

Hi from Amsterdam! How are you doing? Ok I hope!

I'm SO sorry it's taken so long for me to write to you...I couldn't find your card and I was afraid that I lost it!

I've wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the last few weeks! I had SO MUCH fun with you the day I met you in Jeongju! I've told my family and friends about you, and how nice you were to me! I had a lot of fun meeting you at your piano studio, and then going out to dinner with you! Thank you for such a wonderful meal, and such wonderful company (you!)

I traveled around Korea for another week. I visited my good friend and her family in Jin-Hae. Then I went to Yeosu for 3 days--it's very beautiful there! I love Korea! It's such a wonderful country!

Then I went back to Seoul. I had an interview for a temporary job with Samsung, for one month beginning in October. They offered me the job, and I really wanted to take it.

But then I came back to my life in Amsterdam (and to my fiance, Rob! oh! I missed him!) and it didn't make sense to go back to Korea so soon, leaving him and my life behind. So I said "no" to the job. But I still plan to come back to Korea, hopefully in January (when it's cold!), to work at Minjok again.

The weather in Amsterdam is very warm, it's about 27 degrees today! It's usually very cold here!

Tomorrow morning I go to England with my fiance for a good friend's wedding. She's British, and she was my housemate when I lived with her in New Zealand. That's how we met.

She's getting married in a small church that is very remote. You can't even drive a car there...you have to walk! And then her reception is in a castle, wow!

Ok, I'm sorry I won't be able to tell you my "love story," like I promised, but I'll try to do it when I come back, at the end of September (I'll be in England for almost 2 weeks! yea!)

Take care! I hope life is going well for you!

smiles,

Rachel :)
