Things are going well here for us. David is almost completely better. The only thing now is to fatten him back up as he lost a lot of weight. As of today I have mostly recovered from my cold. Arlene is still in good health.
Today we went to Home Plus which is like a multi-story walmart. We ate lunch at McDonalds and then did our shopping. What's a little strange is that there are little shops inside the larger store. If you buy something there you have to have it rung up seperately for that specific shop. The shops don't have their own cash registers so each time you buy something you have to go with the clerk to a cash register who then rings it up there! It was funny because we bought stuff at three different shops and so had to go three times!
On Friday Professor Baker (my adviser) received an award from the Tasan Foundation. Tasan is the pen name (meaning "Tea Mountain") of a great "practical learning" scholar of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. So there was a banquet and as a graduate student of Professor Baker's I was invited. It was a lot of fun and I was able to chat with Professor Baker and another one of his graduate students that I am friends with (he studies Korean shamanism and is married to a shaman, making his studies that much easier!).
I am finally well enough to study again and hope to make more progress before the holidays.
