Surprise in my bread!

I stopped by the market to pick up a loaf of bread on my way home from work today.  Without a 2nd thought, I grabbed a loaf and paid for it.  When I got home and pulled a piece out to make a sandwich, this is what it looked like!  

What the heck are all those vegetable/fruit chunks?!   gggrrrr.... Once I pulled them all out, I had a bunch of holes!  I have to admit, it is kinda funny.  Aahh, the joys of living in a country where I can't read the packages! 

All my favorite hobbies!

Tonight, I did some of my favorite things, with some new, really great friends.  I played screen golf (basically real golf, but into a screen) for 3 long and hilarious hours, with blisters to show for it, played dominoes (which reminded me of my grandaddy!), and jin rummy (my favorite past time with Cornerstone kids back in HS).  The time just passed me by, and before I knew it it was midnight, and a school night!   Thank goodness for the Swine Flu showing it's ugly face in my school's neighborhood and canceling all my classes this week!  ... and according to my VP, I have to come to work for 2 hours, but I can do whatever I want...  I think sleeping at my desk will probably be my chosen activity for tomorrow's work day!  

Next on the agenda will be bowling, which I love!! ... and it wasn't even my idea! Seriously, where did I find these people who love everything I love?!   

*** Pics to come soon!

My Sunday Hike

Today was a gorgeous day... the perfect day, in fact, for a hike! Luckily, there's a huge mountain right behind my apartment with tons of beautiful hiking trails awaiting me at all times! I packed my camera along with a fresh apple, a bottle of water, some healthy crackers, and an adventurous spirit!



If you look really closely, you can see an old Korean man walking down the trail. It helps put into perspective, just how huge and majestic this area is!

And finally, I made it to the very top!

Back to the babies...

I can't stay away... I think about them everyday and am forming bonds with so many of them. Today, Kristen came with me and we spent the afternoon with the 3 babies in the area of the orphanage that I wrote about in my last blog. These babies have been abandoned on street corners in the last 3 months.

Stand up for what you believe in!

This is the 1st street protest I have ever witnessed in my 28 years of life. I wish I could have known what they were saying, or why they were protesting, but I think they were making their point - They were stopping rush hour traffic in Kyungsung (one of the busiest traffic and pedestrian areas of Busan) for goodness sake! Hope it was for a good cause!
