I can see North Korea
Yikes ~ it sounds like something Sarah “I can see Russia from my doorstep” Palin would say, but I really CAN actually see NK from here! Crazy!!
Ganghwa Island is the fifth largest island in Korea is separated from the Korean mainland by a narrow channel, spanned by two bridges passable by cars. North Korea is directly across the channel on the north coast of the island. “The island” is actually composed of 11 inhabited islands and 17 uninhabited islands, and its beaches are 100 km long. The population is approximately 65,000 and about half of the residents live in Ganghwa-eup (Ganghwa Town).
There are currently 14 English teachers living in Ganghwa. The teachers who have been here for a while get together for dinner every Wednesday, and Tim and I have been invited to join the group. It will be nice just to meet some more people and have English conversation for a few hours ~ I’m really looking forward to it!

Am enjoying your blog. Sounds like each day is an adventure.
Are you taking pictures? Like one of the queen parade performance?
How are the washing and ironing progressing?

Mmmh – Octopus. Great – what about dogs? Nothing yet? This sounds like an excellent place to start a liquid diet. How is the Colorado Cool Aid over there?
