Its been a while since my last post. Things here in Gumi are still great, and Moon Kkang is still growing. The weather has been nice, and Gumi is starting to blossom with beautiful cherry trees. We arrived in the winter so it is nice to see spring, and a fresh look to Korea. Without snow to cover all the dead winter look, it is not the nicest place during the winter months. The roof top of our apartment building has been our new favorite hang out. It has a nice area to sit and read while soaking up the sun. It is almost wrong to soak up sun in Korea. They love their white skin and many people wear a ridiculous amount of clothes, hats, face masks and SPF 50 while out during the day.

We have discovered Costco in Daegu, which has been a great find. Lots of home comforts (cheese), and it is a quick/cheap trip by train from Gumi. The past couple weekends we have done day trips to Daegu for a Costco trip. We have also discovered a resturant called The Holy Grill, which is owned by two Canadians. Being Canadian they even have poutine on the menu.

Last weekend we enjoyed an Easter dinner with some friends. Easter is not celebrated here like it is at home. People celebrate the religious part of Easter, but there is no Easter bunny, or egg hunts.

Other than that it has been a quiet month of April in Gumi. We have a couple events planned for the coming weekends. A concert, temple stay and vacation to Taiwan. All things we are looking forward to.
