had message of her saying she wishes she was home

need to convince her to at least stick it out some more

[graham John]

its her birthday next week, that'll make her homesick

She will be back before you know it gj (even before your cars finished)

[graham John]

well, she appears to have settled down a bit, but is very homesick.

She has been caught up in terrific storms over there and the flooding has been quite dramatic (she does have a bit of a reputation of bad weather following her )

not her picture, but off the BBC news site



she reckons the thunder and lightening storms are pretty spectacular.

she has now just gone past the half way point of the visit

remember it rained and thundered when i went, like nothing id seen here

[graham John]

she was knee deep wading through the stormwater yesterday and that was in a populated area of seoul (good Job Gaz W is not there) and she was saying that the rain was worse than when we got caught up in Hurricane Dolly last september - and that was torrential for four days.

[graham John]

she eventually made it to the temple, and stays there overnight with the monks, nuns and so on,

her blog is a little more upbeat as well




cheeRS

[graham John]

some more in korea, she appears to be enjoying herself now

Angharad is in the dead centre of the picture, betweeen the two monks




and again standing just behind the monk's right shoulder


if this was the UK, and on the evening of National day, the caption would be something like "and those are the conkers just hanging down Gaz"
