Three Ladies in White

So I left school this afternoon, scoffing at how absurd it was that I still hadn't found a map of Nmayangju, and headed out a journey to any shop that might have had what I was looking for. I wound up at the post office. I asked the man behind the desk, "Do you have a map of Namyangju? If you don't, where can i find one?" I was more than able to say all of this in Korean, but far less than able to understand his response. Just when I had finished listening to enough of his jibber jabber, I heard from behind me, like the ethereal notes of a golden harp, in crisp clear english, "Yeah, maps are hard to come by in these parts." I whipped around to greet my instant friend.

So it turns out that there is another American girl living in my apartment plaza. Her name is Shane and she introduced me to her kiwi pal, Theresa, who also lives right by me. Tonight I gained two new friends, hiking buddies, an invaluable resource, and a bike to boot.
