doughnuts my dear kim,
it has been too long since I have written but life in portland got a little crazy after an underemployed lull cause I got three jobs (non-profit admin work, farmers market and lauro restaurant )and sometimes four (catering) and then i went out of town on a leisurely sun filled vacation. just days before my vacation i had the most amazing dream about you. we were sitting at a low coffee table on cushions with a huge tray of doughnuts in front of us and taking bites of each one. i woke up just after you were describing to me about a jelly filled one with an incredible texture. i woke up laughing and in such a good mood, so thanks. i love you lots and i enjoy hearing your updates. keep in touch.

Good to hear from you Thanks for updating me on your doings. Sounds as usual that you have lots of good ideas and future plans. Stay cool, safe and have fun on your next trip.
Stephanie
decisions, decisions While I would selfishly like to see you back in Portland, I really hope you continue your international adventures so I can enjoy them vicariously.
yikes... ....it looks really hot there! I tried to call your mobile yesterday but got some automated message saying the number was out of service. So you may come to Portland for a spell?
Love,
Dad
girrrrllll Hi- you are such an adventurer! It is nice to know that you found a place you like and it is not at all surprising that it happens to be in the middle east considering your previous male attractions.
Please keep us all posted!
Miss you dearly

WOW Ah Kim -- it sounds like a whole different world there that you're learning. A bit scary, but brave all at the same time. Safe travels my friend...
I'm pleased to read of your pleasant and meaningful trip to Schem. It is unfortunate that instead of looking for truth you settled for half lies and distortions. For instance: in the entire block of communities near Shilo, with over 1,200 families, there are probably fewer than 50 soldiers, and these to patrol the roads, not guard the so-called settlements. Secondly, with one or two rare exceptions, you will be hard put to find inter-city roads off-limits to non-Jews. The opposite is true. Every road Jews travel on are full of Arab traffic. Jews however, would mostly likely forfeit their lives if they mistakenly drove down an "Arab" road. Next time you are in the area, come visit the "other side" and learn that in the Middle East, if you believe it, it must be true, regardless of the facts.
very cool Kim-
Grandma and I just looked at your latest blog entries. Amazing. By the way, I'm no longer getting email notification of postings. Wassup with that?
Love,
Dad
Thank you for making me laugh How is that chicken head sitting? Did you get to meditation is that elaborate shrine hall? It's beautiful. I hope you're wearing sunscreen, dear one, with all of the beach basking your doing. Sounds very stressful (ha ha)...
love

Quite a hike Palestine must be about as far as one could possibly travel from Korea. I'm glad you're enjoying it there. I'll be curious to know if you hook up with my friend's son who lives quite close to Nablus.
Did you know that Stephanie is in Liberia now?
Love,
Dad
Inshallah You're there! Looks beautiful. I think you were right about this adventure. It feels exotic and mysterious but somehow comforting. Let me know how you progress!!! I Love You.

I'm living vicariously... Yay! I've been anxiously awaiting your next blog....you're my motivation for finishing my own that are still untold. Glad to see you're doing well and getting to explore outside of Busan...and even surfing some couches...now I'm the one back in the States wanderlust. Big hugs from Seattle...
I'm glad to see you are enjoying yourself Exploring a completely different culture takes a lot of curiosity and exertion. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Are you the tallest person in Korea? Kim Chi!!! Hahhhh you crack me up Kim! Oh I'm so excited to follow along on your adventures in Korea. I'm living vicariously through you.
You just hose off yo'self along w/ the room. The floor is graded so that all the water runs into a drain in the center of all the action. The nozzle can work for butt (I assume) or any other part within reach... It's supposed to be a multi-purpose shower, I guess. I need to buy a longer hose so's I can stand up. I wanted to include Marjorita in my email, but she wasn't in my address book!
i love it i'm glad you arrived safe and sound. i love your travel blog and i love the pictures of your home. it's such a pleasure to see where you live. i can envision you in south korea doing your daily thing. keep updating!
besitos sabrina
pimp fort I like your pimp fort!!! Rad decor!!! Those Koreans sure know their patterns. So when you shower, do you just stand there and hose down the whole room, or is there actually a stall? Is that nozzle for your butt?
Mirth, merriment, mayhem and monkeyshines The bathroom could pose a huge problem if one were to come home a wee bit drunk and confuse the washing machine for the toilet. Be ever vigilant!!
Love, Dad
