I had my one-week follow-up with the Cardiologist this afternoon, and he gave me pretty much a clean bill of health! He said I looked great, my vitals were good, color good, test results good... pretty good all the way.

I asked, "So, what about my trip to Seoul? Do you think it's safe for me to travel?"

He responded: "Do you plan to stay home the rest of your life? Your procedure was a success, you aren't having any severe adverse reactions to all the meds, so you should go."

He also told me to enjoy my coffee, since I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, and eat a pretty cautious diet. YIPPEE!

I fly to Seoul Sunday morning, and return on Friday. It's my first trip to Korea. MoleJ: have any pointers?

i will be praying for you to have a good trip

Is it ministry, business, or pleasure? Or all three? I wish I could go!

I will be participating in the Asia-Oceania Presbyters Meeting in Seoul, a meeting of the COGOP Overseers from Asian and Pacific Basin areas... Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia/New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan, India, Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, etc....

It will be LOTS of meetings crammed into a few days, and, usually, one day, or one PART of a day, open for a little sight-seeing/shopping/wandering around. I am sure it will be an interesting experience, and I hope the meetings are productive.

Sounds great. I have an idea for a cool souvenir to get there - try to find some type of trinket or product that says "Made in America."

Why....it would just be cheap, breakable, and wouldn't last. All the good stuff is mad in China!

It has been almost 10 years since I went to Seoul Can't believe it has been that long. I am sure things have changed some since I went.

If you can get outside of Seoul it is worth it. There is one place a little outside of Seoul, called the Folk Village. It is a village similar to how a Korean village would have been like in 1800 - early 1900s. There are some people still living in the village in traditional dress and living in that time. Similar to Amish, but I don't think it has anything to do with religion.

In Seoul, there are several palaces that are interesting to visit, it is almost like going back in time. It is very quiet, a lot of greenery, and it is weird that this is in the middle of a downtown of a modern city.

Also any of the open-air markets are interesting just to walk around.

Please say hi, to Pastor Rhee and Jungmin for me. Have a good trip. Hope you get sometime to go sight seeing.

I am HERE!

I am in a meeting room at Junghoon's church in Ilsan, west side of Seoul between Incheon and Seoul. VERY nice church! 5th floor of a commercial building.

We will have 2 late afternoon/evenings free or some wandering around and/or shopping, and I am told we will make a visit to the DMZ area for an excursion, if we get our business done in time... good incentive.

Pastor Gary,
Try to get a Rock1 patch from one of the soldiers at the DMZ. They are hard to get but if you have something to give in return, you might score,

I got one and I prize it.

Also, go to Cho's church and visit if you can. A great inspiration.

Get some eel boots or a purse for your wife. Wallets are cheap too..(eel)

I bought myself a brief case....

Have a good time....and eat some kimchee(?) for me
