The rain has finally let up a little, and it stopped just in time for the weekend. I don't think that it rained once from Friday night until Sunday (so far). I was really looking forward to the weekend after this last week. One of the other foreign teachers, Betsy went home to the US for vacation and I have had to cover a lot of her classes. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have to be at school for 12 hours, but there is only one more week left of that.
I finally have all the luxuries of home now. My cable TV, air conditioner and internet are all working well. I did some shopping yesterday and picked up a microphone and webcam. If you have one and would like to talk on the internet for free, I recommend getting the program called 'Skype'. You can just go to google.com and search skype and it is easy to download. My name on there is 'trevor.lloyd1'. Once you add a contact, both people just have to be on the computer at the same time and you can have a normal conversation for free!
Since it was the weekend, I went to the foreigner bars with some co-workers. There are two in Jeonju and one I had not been to. Smoking is still allowed in bars here and EVERYONE smokes, so my clothes stunk very badly when I got home. And while we were in there my eyes were burning from the smoke. I guess that is what happens when you get used to smoke-free bars. I definately prefer it that way. As for the requests for outdoor pictures, I will do my best. I may try to go see these lotus blossoms that are in a park somewhere in the city, but I don't know where it is so it might not happen.
I am getting excited for my vacation! I leave in 6 days (next Saturday). I will be in Japan until Wednesday and then I am heading to Seoul, but I do not know how much time I will spend there. It depends on how much there is to do there I suppose. I just hope I remember to get the most important thing in Japan and the thing my school is sending me for, my work visa. I am strongly considering buying one of those scooter deals when I come back from vacation. They cost about $600 but when you sell it in a year, you only lose about $100 so it may be worth the investment. Don't worry, I will get a helmet! Now to try to explore some new places in this city...

Hey Trev, You must be excited to go to Japan(take lots of pictures),and check out those "Toetoe" toilets!!!(not sure on the spelling of that).I have been instructed by my brother,to go out and buy the headset/mic combo,then I may download
"Skype"....."J_s_s Ch_i_t"!!!"no sense in downloading it without the equipment!!So off to Staples I go,as instructed!! Hopefully I will talk to you soon, "Auntie" V
Hey Trev, I highly recommend getting a scooter. You can even wear your skirt and still ride around town. Hehehehe. Just kidding. Great idea. Talk to you soon buddy. PS Melissa says hi too and that she misses you tons already. Cam
