Kwung Suk a very interesting mature WW from South Korea contacted us early in mid June when he was woofing near Nanaimo at a lodge. He was traveling in Canada for 5 months. He had past experience in woofing in both Australia and NZ, and was working on his English skills.
However because his English skills still needed work, and I didn’t realize that, we had some difficulties from the start. We originally had made arrangements for Kwung Suk to arrive mid September, and I had asked him to confirm closer to the date, and he didn’t respond to my request to confirm his arrival, so when we had no contact from him we booked Nora and I made plans to be away. Then we received a phone call from Kwung Suk who was at the Golden bus depot. At this time we were guests at a dinner engagement. We made the best of it and Kwung Suk made his accommodations in the bus. We did take him and Nora fishing, and they attended my dance recital. However, the work we had for him was not what he expected and we do expect our ww to help out. Further, Nora had pretty much wrapped up the garden chores and all we had left was firewood, which is heavy work. In the end Kwung Suk headed for Calgary to rent a car and tour the Rockies. We hope he had a great trip in the Rockies. I did not receive any photos of Kwung Suk and since I was away when he left, I didn't have a chance ask for one, perhaps he will send us a photo.
