마음이 좀 안정이 되어 시내 주변 안내 해줄겸 연락 했더니 그동안 부산에 다녀 왔는데
고향 뉴질랜드와 같은 항구도시라서 너무 좋다는 글을 보내왔다.

Hi Seongja,
It is very lovely to hear from you and to hear that you are feeling better.
I have just returned from Seoul about one hour ago.
This last week has been a vacation week for me.

At the beginning of the week I went down to Busan.
I stayed there from Monday until Thursday. I really enjoyed visiting Busan.
It is a beautiful city and it is a harbour city.
Where I come from in New Zealand is also a harbour city,
and before I became a teacher I was in the New Zealand Navy,
so I love to be near the sea and to see ships and harbours.
For me, going to Busan and seeing the open sea and ships for the first time in over four months was very special.
I especially enjoyed going down to the beaches and walking along the sea's edge.

Although I only arrived back in Jeonju on Thursday evening,
I decided that I would not stay here for the last few days of my leave and on Friday morning went up to Seoul.
In Seoul I caught up with some friends and I also visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace on Saturday.
It is a very magnificent place. Whilst I was there I saw the changing of the palace guards.

I would very much like to come walking with you.
I have no plans for the next two weekends,
so if you would like to go some where then that would be very nice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
Paul
