Aaron Update # 6

Sorry Aaron!  I just now noticed that you uploaded these pictures to my blog!

SORRY FOR POSTING THESE LATE!  AARON UPLOADED THESE OVER 48 HOURS AGO!  Enjoy!

Sam and Aaron decided, at the beginning of the trip, that they were going to do jumping high five pictures instead of the typical travel stance!  Apparently they stuck to that plan!

They finally made it to Phu Quoc Island yesterday (Vietnam) at about 11am and are planning to stay there until next Monday!  

Their place is right on the beach and is only $15 a night!  I LOVE ASIA HOTEL RATES!  Today they are going to rent scooters and get out and about to explore the island!  Mom, he promised he'll wear his helmet! :)

5 more days till he comes home!!

Text in the City!

Tonight, I had the girls over for "TEXT IN THE CITY," our Busan Book Club for the girls of the lower west side!  

These girls are so fun to be with, and while we say it's a book club, we actually hardly talk about books at all, but rather life, love, work, travel, boys, food, shopping... whatever comes up is free game!  Today, I gave away two of my beloved books... Eat, Pray, Love, and Committed (both by Elizabeth Gilbert!)  I'll miss them on my bookshelf, but I'll be glad not to be lugging them home when I eventually move back to the US!  After Jenna finishes, The Year of Living Biblically I'm going to steal it from her!  It looks really interesting!

Thank you girls, for letting me play hostess at my place!  I feel so lucky to have met you, and enjoy our time together so much!  May there be many more Text In The City conversations over coffee, tea, cookies, (and popcorn at my place) to come!

Truchen, Me, Annie K, Jenna, and Annie M

Now that's what I call a public restroom!

These contraptions and gadgets were on the wall of my bathroom stall last night at the Lotte Casino!  

A keypad for the bidae, a button to push for a "toilet sound," incase you don't want anyone to hear what you're doing, and my favorite.. an "Emergency Bell" for all those times you want someone to come rescue you from the toilet!
