[Oe List ...] House Experiences

[Holcombe Wanda]

I Agree with you Jack….we were a “wild caring bunch” and willing to do whatever it took to Care for Others….
Our House & floor in Jejudo was with a Korean family in the village.  We slept on Ondul floors (heated underneath….if we were lucky) and on a Yo mat (80x60 inches) which was just about the size of the room. We rolled it up in the morning and placed on a bench built into the back wall of the room where our clothes were placed. The walls were made of rice paper like you see in the movies and since our room was next to the rice storage room, the mice made their way across our room for their nightly meal. Fortunately they did not bother us as the “tasty” stuff was in the room next to ours that they had to pass through. 

There are so many great tales to tell by any of us that I will finish off one more of the many I could tell and that was in Majuro. It seems the easiest way to set up for temporary housing was to sleep on the floor. The walls were so thin where we were housed, that we use to joke in the morning that we sometimes said to the couple in the next room, on the floor also. Let’s see if we can surpass your “mating” rituals and noise tonight….all in fun, I will not share who that couple was in the room on the floor next to us. 

All in All….what a wonderful life it was because we were all in it Together, not for ourselves, but for what we were out to accomplish on Behalf of ALL “To
