I found my Keypal from the ROK officers. He's name is Yong Hee Kim. He's a Lieutenant.
Yong Hee used to study English in ROK Intelligence School and he writes articles for English Newspaper in ROK. He told about his family once. His father lives in the sea shore which sounded so romantic. He has a sister who is married. He is energetic that he loves sports alot. Jog everyday, writes columns and sleeps late and he mails me at late night. He lives in Munjung-dong with 2 roommates in the dorm.
It was so interesting to mail someone unknown. It was my first time having a mail friend without the face.
Though several mailing between him and I, I think we have known each other quite well. It was also effective for our English writing skill.
Here are some of his early mails.
