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 … Read entire article »
Friday and Saturday
On Friday I really wanted to go to a spa/public bath but Mom didn’t want to go and I was not brave enough to try it on my own. So we went shopping! Hahaha! We went to Dongdaemun Market. The guide book called this shopping area “massive” but I am not sure that word is big enough to describe it. The first building we went in was all fabrics and textiles. They were so beautiful and if I could have figured out how to get it home we would be the proud owners of a traditional Korean bedding set (actually I would have begged for two - Little Man and Little Diva each have to have one ), but bag space was running low as a matter of fact we had to … Read entire article »
Things I Have Learned in Korea…
1. That there are TONS of mosquitoes here and they bite and it hurts. And if you see in your room what appears to be an air freshener DO NOT unplug it to plug in something else as it is really mosquito repellant and is VERY necessary. 2. Apparently after October 1st no one here uses air conditioning and it is actually taken out of the rooms, thus necessitating the opening of the windows and then #1 happens and mosquito spray is necessary as well as something for the itch of the bites. 3. You can put two people and a television on a motorcycle. You heard me right – last night we were at the iPark mall (see #4) and when we were leaving there was a man and … Read entire article »
Thursday…
Thursday was a bit surreal. First we all went down and tried to help in the baby nursery. All of those babies and they were so little. We later learned that there were 65 babies in the baby nursery and that they stayed there until the baby is about a month to a month and a half old. The babies were either sleeping, eating or crying. They were everywhere and it just amazed me. I wanted to help (so did mom and Aaron) but they said come back later, so we are going to try again tonight. I could not take any pictures in the baby nursery. About half of the babies we saw will be adopted domestically and the other half either in the US or Australia. After that … Read entire article »
