My Little Ones
Hey Andrea~I can’t believe you’re celebrating your 15th birthday!Happy birthday my beloved sister, Andrea!Ever since you were little, taking care of you has been a pain in the butt.I still remember the times when you have always had this thing with not smiling, and I was always the one who had to cheer you up.It is really nice having you as my sister.Now that you’re a freshman in high school, you have completely changed and become more independent.I am not good writing these long and heartfelt paragraphs as I am normally a brother of few words.You’re a year older and I know for a fact that you can accomplish and fight through any new challenges that may arise.Keep your smile on and have a Happy 15th Birthday!

首爾行之邊境篇
此趟韓國行，最讓人期待的莫過於兒子從小學時就直想一探究竟的板門店。
南北韓非軍事區（DMZ）是以北緯38度為分界，各退後2公里後，形成長約250公里、寬約為四公里的非武裝地帶。
出發前就得先上網預約，有不同的行程可供選擇，我們參加的是包含了非武裝地帶（DMZ）、第三隧道（The 3rd Tunnel）、以及共同警備區域（JSA）的一日遊。
在抵達首爾的第一天中午，當地的旅行社還來電確認第二天的行程，誰知在當天下午，竟然又接到電話，通知第二天的行程全都取消，詢問我們能否參加它日的行程。只能說真的蠻幸運，當時預約行程是在抵達的第二天，也才有彈性可作調整，要是當時晚個一、二天，那肯定泡湯。不過，因為該地屬於特殊的區域，會因為軍事活動或是特別的事由而取消行程，這完全是無法事先預測的，據當地導遊的說法，有時候，一車的遊客抵達邊界是才被告知須折返也是無可奈何之事。
