Sunday, May 16,
1982
I was ready to go
sunbathing by the Bielersee/Lake
Biel, but decided to ask Jong-Soon if she wanted to come. She did and went to
get ready. I sat down to read a book, and when I next looked up, it was 11:30!
So I went to tell Jong-Soon I was going to eat lunch and she invited me to eat
with her. She stir-fried cut up beef with green pepper and carrots, and added a
spicy pepper/chili paste and soy sauce. We had the mixture wrapped in lettuce
leaves. Now I am having Korean cuisine (ssambap)!
Jong-Soon invited two other girls on our floor to come
with us. Klara and Christel are nurses from Germany and they wanted to go
swimming, so we paid the 1 CHF/50 cent fee to enter the Strand/beach of grass.

Jong-Soon pointed out all the girls without tops. She had put on stockings to come
to the beach! Found a four-leaf clover next to my feet.
It turned out the two girls did not go swimming. I was the
only one to go near the water where I put my feet in the freezing water. If I
had been hot, I would have gone in all the way, but it was cloudy, cool, and
breezy.

We went to have
“coffee,” but all the restaurants in the old town were closed. Ended up at a
café on Mühlebrücke where I had a Schweppes Quinine, Klara had a cappuccino,
Christel had a salad, and Jong-Soon had ice cream.
At least this
weekend was better than the last when I had been feeling light-headed for a
week. My blood pressure was measured at 125/70, so that wasn’t it. I did start
running last Sunday, and have been a few more times.
