New year comes and goes. But it doesn't just come and go, it brings new hopes and desires. Every year, we make some tasks or duties and do our best to fulfil it.
Lunar New Year! it was totally new for me for the first time. We also have lunar new year in Nepal but we don't celebrate it. We just have one day holiday. We don't think this day as a festival like we do here in Korea.
Time passed and I have celebrated lunar new year holidays about nine times here in Korea. It's one of the biggest festival here in Korea and we'll have at least three days to one week holidays. I had five days holiday this year including Saturday.
It had started by 6th of February. February 5th was my working day. After my work, I visited to my brother's dormitory. There were other Nepali brothers and sisters. Had my dinner with them and talked until midnight.
On 6th, they left that home. Actually, that house was pretty good with three rooms with a good kitchen. But the boiler in that house was not in order. Every room was just like ice even they on their boiler and rise up the temperature. So they had decided to leave that house.
One civil engineer, Bang-ho and pastor of near by church helped us to move that house. I also worked with them. To move a house is really hard and tired. Without arranging the things, we went to the church with some Samgyabsal and sea-food to have our dinner. It was Wednesday; so we took the Wednesday evening praying service and enjoyed dinner with many people.
On 7th Feb, returned back to my dormitory and took a short rest. Washed my clothes and cleaned my room. In the afternoon, went to Hwakokdong to join the meeting of our broadcasting media's friends. There were five members and producer of that programme. We talked about many things about programme, personal things, future plans and so on. It took about 5 hours to go and return.
On 8th, did nothing. Just stayed at Nepali friends dormitory all day long and enjoyed different kinds of Nepali food. But 9th Saturday, we had a blast. Two Korean friends visited us. We Nepalese were six including I and 8 all together including my Korean friends. We made some damplings together, fruit jacks and Nepali food. Some of my Nepali friends are new to Korea so that they can't understand Korean and my Korean friends also can't use Nepali. It was very fun to see their chating^^ I did my best to translate one language to another. I always enjoy it.
10th, Sunday is always fun and important. We have started English talking group in my church. There are many small groups. In our group, there are about 6 members. We all are not good in English but doing our best to improve it. I'm sure, we do it^^
I hope everyone had a greatful Seol-nal holidays here in Korea or abroad. I hope this year brings success and happiness in everyones' life^^
