Subject: Seoul!

Hi, Jennifer,

I’m finally in Seoul! It’s a big city, and my neighborhood is a busy place.
There’s a convenience store across from my house. There’s also an
Internet cafe. I go there every day! In fact, I’m there right now! I’m having
lunch—kimchi and tea, mmm! The people here are interesting and
friendly.

There’s a movie theater around the corner from my house. And there’s a
shopping mall two blocks away. There’s a good music store at the
shopping mall and a department store, too. There isn't a swimming pool
in my neighborhood, but there’s a nice one downtown, and I can get
there by subway. The station is ten minutes away.

How’s it going? How are Mom and Dad? Can you visit me this summer?
You can meet my friend Duk-koo. He’s very good-looking!

Please write soon.
