38th parallel: The wonderful world of education!

We had a fabulous time, being present when our “Korean daughter” Jaeyeon Lee, received her Master Degree in Political Science in International Relations!

Jaeyeon is for me a very special woman, giving me a vibrate, humorous, honest and open interaction with the younger generation her in Korea.

The achievements of this young woman are admirable. She’s captain in the Korean Army and works fulltime as a liaison officer with United Nations Command, where she does a wonderful job and is appreciated by many for her energy, creativity and getting things done. In the same time she studied for her Master Degree and last Friday it was time to receive her diploma! Besides receiving her diploma she also was rewarded for being among the three best students!

Proud and honored we met up with Jaeyeon at the entrance of the Korean University. A happy, wonderfully looking Jaeyeon took us around the enormous and beautiful campus, before we went into the aula for the ceremony. She introduced us to several of her classmates, who knew about Anders for they had visited the DMZ, a trip organized by Captain Lee!

Afterwards it was time for celebration and we were taken to a typical student’s restaurant for special chicken and lots of beer!

No one of us were thirsty afterwards...

We're very proud of you Jeayeon!
