Can you believe that a year has passed since its commencement?
Last night, four us of (Rachael, Christi, Derrick and I) got together and celebrated over pepperoni pizza and coffee in Suwon. I wish there had been more people. It is okay that you could not make it. We all felt your presence in your absence. As I mentioned, the NGO office is available now. This mean, no more Lotteria. And hail to the shoes-free heated floor. Come out next weekend, if you could. Thank you everyone who has participated in the cause whether it is once or more.

In retrospect, it was all you. It was all you that helped form the group of more than 10 people and that always supported the cause with your roommate, your friends from the same country and from work. It was all you that always lift up the spirit and brought the zing to the group. And now, you are all gone.

Last week, I was standing by myself at the spot we always congregate. I was passed by hundreds of people that I don't know, waiting for some of you to arrive.

Luckily, I found the NGO office open back up at 6:30 pm. I guess it is time for us to bid a temporary goodbye to Lotteria.

Next week marks the 52th occasion of Help Your Suwon. Come and help us out.
