More Things I learned in Korea…
1. That sidewalks are not just for pedestrians. Here you can be followed by cars, motorcycles and bikes. They even park on the sidewalk if nothing else is available.
2. You really can do anything in 2+ inch heels. I have seen it all. These women are amazing, and it does not even look like it hurts. I would have fallen on my face LONG ago and never been able to get up. Heels are worn with everything from jeans to fancy attire here and we even saw people at the zoo in heels (and that was NOT a place I would have worn heels).
3. You can be adictted to water. Yep – I am adicted to this peach flavored water. It is AMAZING. I have begun looking for it over pepsi (which is hard to find here) fortunatly the peach water is easy to find but I bet I will never see it in the states. It is better than any flavored water I have ever had.
4. Diet Pepsi does not exist in South Korea at least. It is a VERY good thing mom brought some with her as we have NEVER seen a bottle of Diet or even Lite Pepsi over here. They have Lite Coke which mom says is NOTHING like Diet Coke at home, I wouldn’t know I don’t like either.
5. Kids here are VERY trusting and they love to try to talk English. They always say hello and where are you from. They become very excited when they hear USA and if they see a camera want their picture taken. They then hold their fingers in a peace sign and say “cheese.” It is so cute! We cannot help but oblige them!
and
6. I could not love this country more. It is a mix of traditional and modern, old and new. While drastically different from home in some ways it feels like home in others. And most importantly they trust Aaron and I to raise two of their most precious commodities – children. I hope that we succeed and that we can make our children understand what Korea was, is and will be and that no matter what they do they will always be Korean and American. How they choose to mix the two is up to them.

Hi Carissa!
Your children are two of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen. Have a wonderful rest of your trip. I can’t wait to see more pictures and learn more about Korea.
If you get a chance please send me your address. I wanted to send you some outgrown clothes of Elia’s. I think it should fit your little princess…hopefully you can get some use out of them- some still have the tags on.
