We made it.......

We are finally in Seoul, we got in last week Wednesday.  Austin made a great observation while waiting in the airport for Chris... "this place is just like america except people have different faces and speak another language" haha from the mouth of a 6 year old. We got here for the end of Monsoon season, it rained the first 4 days on and off, but yesterday it just stopped, which is great however I did just buy a really cute umbrella and didnt get to use it as much as I wanted ;) but I would rather have it be dry then use a cute umbrella.

 It was sad having my dad leave today, it kind of makes it official now, this is not a vacation, unless a vacation can last for 2 years.  For our last meal we went to the Katusa Snack Bar and ate some korean food, Beef Bulgogi is the way to go it is super yummy.  I tried some kimchi, it wasnt as horrible as it smells, its kind of like a spicy coleslaw, I will probably never eat it again.....

Yesterday we went into Itaewon  which I would compare to the third ward in milwaukee, for those of you have gone to china town and were solicited by a girl on the street telling you shes got some grrrrreat deals on purses and then takes you into a little store through the back, down a flight of stairs, rings a doorbell, a secret door opens and then you are in a room of knockoffs and possible real purses that have "fallen" off the truck..... it is nothing like that here, you basically just walk right into a store with purses everywhere, it is heaven! Chris asked me what I was going to do without a Target or Walmart..... hes silly :) who needs Target and Walmart when you have Itaewon!

Korean girls are funny they are very into their looks, but it is a 1960's, mentality they are all about dressing up and wearing heels evereywhere! NOOOOO thank you, I watched girls walk up the steepest hill I have ever climbed yesterday when we went to the Seoul Tower yesterday, I was whining cause i had flip flops on. Anyway.... I have now seen 4 different commercials for weight loss, they are so funny I need to sit down one day and try to tape them all and upload them, you would die. they are so fake and slightly disturbing, but in a funny way.

Ok well I am still fighting the last of my jetlag, so i need to take a nap now, hopefully in the next couple of days it will be over! I miss everyone so much and appreciate everyones support as we take this journey, it will be interesting, stay tuned!
