Spoon Fed

Last night, Ed, Wendy, Megan, Dave and I went out for drinks. Ed and I found a 'new' bar that we want to convert into the next foreigner experience. I'm not sure it will happen because of two reasons:

1. Its far from downtown; but not that far


2. I'm not entirely convinced they want a whole bunch of rowdy, drunk waygookins hanging out there.

What I am sure of is that there are plenty of food places near by that LOVE waygooks (us). After drinking a few rounds, we decided that we were pretty hungry. So we went looking for some food. In that area there is mainly seafood restaurants, but there are some sam gyup sal (bbq) places located here and there. Dave and Ed were the main deciders of where we should have our midnight snack; and boy did they choose well.

I don't know what the place was called, but I'll go back at any point just because the ajuma (or emu--older sister which is what she preferred to be called) was sooo completely nice. Our meal consisted of some nice side dishes, a lot of 'pancakes' and some delicious, spicy as all hell, chicken soup dish. It was amazing, all for 25,000 won--which is cheap for what we ate, trust me!

The best part of the evening, however, was not the food, but rather how we ate the food. The woman fed us. I'm not talking Korean 'fed' where they cook the food for you. I'm talking fed us, as in put the food in our mouths. It was wonderful. It reminded me that of why Koreans are so wonderful. I mean, do you know any American restaurants that will feed you, unless your a baby? Well here, we are the babies. I can't say that I mind that much. It is a wonderful feeling, sometimes, to give up all 'power' to be fed. And did I mention that she fed us oysters??? Oh yeah. I'm in love with Korean restaurants.

Happy Birthday to Dad!!

It's Dad's turn! I'm not going to reveal his age, but it's his birthday today. Thanks Joe for the pictures!

Ed and I are going to enjoy some Korean birthday cake in your honor! Much Love!

Video Fixed

Okay, so the video might be fixed. I've reposted it here for your viewing pleasure. It was a simple fix, that I was unable to do because Ed didn't tell me how to switch the youtube site over from Korean to English (which was just a quick button push, but I had no idea because, well I don't read Korean). Now, everything should be working. Hopefully. Let me know if it isn't.

Happy Birthday Grampy!

Today is my Great-Grandfather's 98th birthday. I don't think he reads this, but for those of you who do, and will see him soon, wish him a happy birthday from Ed and I.

Gramp is the studly dude in the back row, second from the right. This is his high school yearbook photo taken in 1928.

And here is a picture of Gramp with Indy (Thanks Dad!).

Sooo Happy Birthday Grampy!!!

Boredom

B-butt sitting. That is what Ed and I have been doing
O- organizing our apartment. We cleaned everything, but now it is dirty again
R-red eyes from watching/staring at the computer all day long
E-excitement when someone actually calls us to do something
D-desire to be any where except for our apartment
O- outside, where I should be, but instead I am sitting on my butt
M-movie watching. I'm now an illegal movie pirate. Shhh don't tell.

Now I realize why people work winter camps and take month long vacations here during this two month break. I know, I'm complaining about not working, you all can hate me later, but both Ed and my brains have turned to mush.

That's my post for today.

PS: Thank you Meg for being my one 'follower'!!! You made my day!
