Translation and Shopping

We have had another good but busy week. I'm preparing for my Korean language tests which will occur next week and the week after that. I'm also working on a translation with a friend of mine which should be finished by the end of next. It's a pretty interesting article on the memory of the Kisaeng (a kind of Korean geisha) named Nongae who is said to have killed a Japanese general by embracing him and jumping from a wall into the river (this happened during the Hideyoshi invasion, probably around 1593). I also just finished submitting an article which will be published in mid-december in "Acta Koreana".

David and Arlene are doing well. We went out on Friday to Hyundae department store to do some shopping. We bought David some socks, pajamas, and a jacket.

So we are in good shape, hopefully things will slow down a bit before too long.
