The new bedroom is finished. I decided to offer to pay half the cost, even though my boss was prepared to pay in full. It was just the right thing to do. There was no need for him to build it unless I needed it and he stepped up to the plate. I figured dutch pay would be fair and he was most grateful. We’ll drink a few beers and soju on that agreement.

Once we get it decorated a bit and it isn’t just a bare room, I’ll take a few photos to share.

MyeongHee’s house was sold on the 14th of November.  She still doesn’t know how much she’ll get from the sale, but it likely won’t be the full $40K. She’ll move in sometime before the 15th of December, although we might not actually be married. The requirements of the US Embassy in Seoul don’t quite match what the Korean government is willing to produce. She has to have four copies of the official Korean Family Registry submitted to the Embassy – 3 in Korean and 1 in English. So far, we haven’t been able to get an English copy. We’ll see who bends first.
