so, you are being public blog emailed, which means that i'm going to have this email up on my blog as well. i hope you don't mind. i don't think you will...
i'm in korea! it's been about a month now, and i really hate my job right now (something i know you can relate to)... but right now, i'm reminded of a quote you put on your blog: "I do positively HATE my job, but whatever I hate my job in NYC!" i hate my job, but whatever i hate my job in seoul! i never thought of it like that yet. i need lessons in joy.
i've been thinking about you every once in a while here. in seoul, there are so many cute, cute things. there are some things that i know you would just love - the stationary, for example, is adorable. i was going to take a picture for you, but instead, i'll just send it to you in the mail. but keep in mind, that it'll take me a while to send it, and then it'll be a few weeks. but it'll be worth the wait... maybe. all the clothes are very cute, and some of it is super cheap - like about five dollars for a shirt is very common. and then some of my friends raised the question whether it's christian to buy nice clothes and i brought you up as an example of someone who worships God through beautiful things.
anyway, the reason you are getting public blog emailed is because i went to this amazing part of town - Samchung-dong - and my cousin took me to this cute restaurant that i know you would have loved. check it out.
Basak means 'crunchy'! this is the inside:
napkin holder on the table was neat-oh with this cool picture behind it.
bathroom! isn't it cool!
but here's the clincher. here's why i KNOW you'd love love love it:
HAND-WRITTEN menus! it looks like someone's journals, with little stickers and pictures on it.
anyway, i miss you, lisa... oh wait, i just remember why i didn't mail you that postcard already. how much longer will you be in NYC? let me know where i should mail you.
love to you, lisa lisa!

soooooo CUTE!! Esther you have gone to the land of CUTE!
Been thinking of you too! Nice to see that you were at the restaurant w/ your cousin, that must mean that getting together has become less confusing.
Hope you can get around the work thing - i've noticed the absolute loathing of work is a bit cyclical, it becomes less so and more so.
My brain is hot - i must go inside. Also i just drank a giant iced coffee.
love u - liSa
