Dear Mom:

We slept in one of the Korean houses last night and it wasn't bad. There was three in one room and we filled it. It was high enough to stand in but the door was only about 3 ft. high. They have a fire outside for cooking and the smoke and heat travels under the floor. One fellow got his bag burnt, the floor got so hot. We had three Korean kids looking after us washing our mess tins and shining our boots. I think I'll bring them home they are really smart. I'm fine, haven't seen anything yet. Good camping trip.

Ed.
