I woke up exactly at 0 hour 0 minute _ the Beginning of the New Year, 2012.

And I see your Hopeful Message and the Sunrise above the Mountains,
and the Valleys, and the Creeks.

Happy New Year, Chomee-nim & Hong sun-bae-nim.
Please, Be Happy & Healthy as you were, as I know.

And let's be a Tree, Evergreen, Soaring into the Sky
As Pi Chun-duk sings.

PS; I heard the sound of firecrackers from not that far
and now died down.

방선생님,
Dr.Hong 과 저는 TV로 Time Square에서 midnight countdown 하는것을 
보고있었습니다.

아침 햇살처럼 새롭고 건강한 2012년을 맞으시길 바랍니다.
감사합니다. 

Lucky You, Both of You, Dr. & Mrs. Hong.

I'll watch 2012 New Year's Ball Drop
later on TV.

Happy new year !

I am sitting in a hotel loby of 11000 feet high Andes Mt. City, Cusco on this new year´s day.
I came with school students.

Last night, the whole city was so noisy with fire crackers for the new year celebration.
Only young folks stayed out until 3 a.m. when it began to rain.

I was reading a  travel guide book meanwhile, which tells ¨WATCH OUT THIEVES¨ in Peru.

This morning I hear that the local people  " threw fire crackers at the feet of one of our group member"
She had a burn on her feet and and her camera was stolen menwhile.

A carefully planned thievery!

민선생!

정초부터 페루 여행을 하시는군요.

이사람은 수년전 남미 여행시 페루대신 아마존강 여행을
택해서 페루는 가보지를 못했습니다.

아무리 좀도둑이 성해도 Common sense를 잘지키면 큰일이
있겠습니까. 건강히 잘 다녀오시기를.

새해에 복많이 받으시오.   규정

민선생님,
페루에서 새해를 맞으셨군요.
남은시간  좀도둑 조심하시고
무사히 여행 잘 하시고 돌아오시기바랍니다.

황선생님,
순원이가 무럭무럭 자라는 모습을 
지켜보시면서 행복한 2012년을 보내십시요.

승자 선배님,
한해가 훌쩍 지나 버렸습니다.
복이 많으신 분이지만,
새해에도 계속 복 많이 받으십시요.
