Still no time for full update. Although I think I gave Dad a good run through of events so far, last night on the phone. Will hopefully do a blog on Wednesday. Thanks to Dan-gun, legendary founder of the Korean Nation (b. 2333 BC) we all have a day off. But I need to find an internet cafe.

I made a small omission in my last post. My address should read:

Apt 54-22 Cheongseok 5-gil, Banji Dong, Changwon City, Kyeongsangnam-do, Korea.

Dad managed to get through by dialling 0082 55 265 0272. So that's my home telephone number.

Note to self: Bring a duck to next lesson!

I see you are having a huge impact already.N.Korea's president has welcomed S.Korea's president to Pyongyang for 3 days of talks-only second time in 50 years since the Korean war. Keep up the good work!

Saras helping me with this bit. Did manage to get all your messages all by myself. I am at the Whitehouse feeling very emotional, but Sara is sending you this message from her home, until i can crack the next stage. It is going to be a very good year for you, by the time you get this message you will be over your lonely night and heading for the real action. You wil return in a years time, wiser, stronger, more affluent, and confident. i will miss you lots, but i'm sure you will be a much better person when you come back. lots of love dad xx
