As with every holiday, today was a little strange to get through. We actually did have a really good day despite being away from our families. We went out for some traditional Korean tea and walked around the university to take in the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and the trees were unreal.
Before I came to Korea I had this image of what Korea would look like. I imagined little traditional tea houses and cherry trees (not the thousand of high-rise apartments and smog). Anyway, today what I had imagined seemed semi-accurate. We were happy.
We've been really busy in the past week, and I have a feeling it's only going to get worse next week. We've been packing for 2 days straight, and unfortunately we have a lot more stuff than our suitcases can handle. The good news is that we've found someone to buy our computer and couch, so it'll be nice to get a little more pocket change for our trip.
A little "Boi Cha" to soothe our headaches (we overdid it a little on the rice wine last night)! The Hakwon owners and their daughter are in the background. (P.S. Notice the miniature cups?! So cute...)
These are two and Andrew and my students. They're sisters (obviously) and a couple of the best students in the school. The taller one constantly asks me, "When Andrew and Tara teacher get marriage?" I often say "tomorrow!" She never fails to get excited.
A random Tae-Kwon-Do match in a park. We told them that we know Taekkyon, and they took it as an opportunity to show us their "moves." This is pretty much all we saw. I could totally take them!
We just went to the Agro-fishery market and picked up some bamboo chopsticks/spoons and a couple of kimchi pots. Anyone up for a sushi party in August?
Love and miss you all...
Love, Tara
XOXO
