Oh my god. I am SO happy right now.
I was feeling terrible for so long because I had lost that person's email address...
That older lady who had been there for me in Korea. Sachie-san. She must have been my mother's age but she was learning Korean patiently and passionately. She had a husband waiting for her in Japan but since her children have grown, she was putting really hard efforts into achieving her dream of learning Korean and learning Korean culture in Korea.
I met her randomly at a KBS program where foreigners were invited to discuss their experience on Hangul Day. Afterwards, we met several times outside of class. We took long walks and discussed many things... She's always full of great insights and she always treats me like an adult despite our obvious difference in age. I have a lot of respect for her and the way she lives. I seriously think I would've kept regretting the fact that I couldn't get in touch with her. After so long.... I owe her so much. She was so supportive and understanding, yet I couldn't even email her once to thank her....
Anyways, the point is. My friend met her yesterday (she was with someone he knew) and he said it's easy for him to figure out her email address and phone number... I'm SOOO HAPPY!!! As soon as he sends it to me, I'll email her. I just can't wait... ^^:
