will take a while.
I think I will make this post short, but it may be longer because so much has happened in the last few days. First I will start off with the photos you were promised in the last post.

| I'm eating well! This is my typical breakfast (and sometimes dinner if I'm just that stinking tired! |
 |
| This is my view. Very "Rear Window"ish |
I've been trying to upload the video of my apartment, but since I'm borrowing/using without permission internet, it is slower than needed.
The following photos are from Sarah and my trip to Insadong- Hanuk Village. It is a neighborhood that is made up of museums, a palace, and very traditional housing. There are a lot of small streets and shops, too.

| I really wanted to go to the Chicken Art museum... but we couldn't find it. |
 |
| Traditional scary, steep stiars. |
 |
| Blurry Traditional doors! |
 |
| Traditional housing. Very pretty! |
 |
| Traditional meets modern. Traditional house- modern electric gate. |
 |
| View of Seoul Tower! I will go there on Saturday! |
 |
| Traditional meets modern. A view of downtown over traditional roofs. |

Korean women (especially older women) wear bonnets to protect them from the sun.
These two were really cute. |
 |
| Bart Simpson LOVES Beer and Coffee! What a combination! |
There aren't a ton of photos mainly because I was SUPER jet lagged and ready to go home and go to bed.
I am ready to go to bed right now, so I will have to update ya'll tomorrow!
Our days are packed, so please be patient that I have a lot to write about and not a lot of time. I will keep everyone updated!
Love you all!

Surprised that some of the signs have the English translation below the Korean. Thanks for sharing Seoul thru you pics; probably the closest I'll ever come to seeing those sites. Am really excited that you are enjoying what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next post--so happy for you! Love, Gaynell
Can I ask a favor??? When you use a Korean word put it in phonetic spelling, also, so we can learn how to pronounce it in Korean. I find it fascinating. I can only imagine how tired you are, not just physically but mentally. We will be patient. Just love reading the blog!!
ReplyDeleteSara girl! So happy to read and get caught up! Sad I missed the opportunity to see you before you left, but glad you're blogging!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend from ACU that moved there the day before or after (not sure which) you did! I'm not sure where she's teaching, but be on the lookout for her. She's great--her name is Katie Findley. If nothing else, find her through my fb friends and befriend her! That would be so great for y'all to meet up!
couldn't find the chicken art museum? it's straight up in the air about 90 meters. ;)
ReplyDeleteso glad you're there and getting acclimated! also glad you have found some fellow americans so y'all can navigate korea together!
