Take me out to the ball game!

Last night, Kev and I went to a Lotte Giants baseball game with Jess, Carlos, Kristin, and 2 teachers from Carlos's school who helped us get tickets for 5,000 won - the equivalent of about $3.75.  We were in the 10th row!

First, we stopped for some pizza at Pizaa Hut!  mmmm....

As we were walking to the stadium, we saw this little kiddo holding onto his mom's bag! I thought of all those parents who use the leashes with their kids... Maybe try telling them they have to hold your bag or they'll get time out!   It seemed to work with this kiddo!

Carlos's teacher friends brought this food into the stadium to eat as a snack - pig intenstine and stomach!  uuuugggg

The girls behind us helped us make these pom poms out of newspaper!  Everyone in the stadium made one to cheer with!  Koreans are so darn resourceful... and shy - These girls covered their faces because they didn't think they were pretty...  In my opinion, they were all gorgeous!

During the 7th inning, the stadium workers passes around these orange plastic bags that people filled with air and tied to their heads.   

Carlos's co worker made his into a big bow!

The stadium.  We were in the 10th row, behind 3rd base.

I found this little munchkin, who was all decked out in his Giants gear!

The gang! :)

Mona who??

Today, I was waiting outside of the library for my kids to come for the after school English Club that I do on Wednesday's. I was staring at a picture of the Mona Lisa on the wall in the hallway and some of my 6th grade girls came over and pointed at it and said, "Teacher, Mona Licha." I replied, "Yes, I know! It's the Mona Lisa." Their response was, "No teacher, it's the Mona Licha" and gestured with their hands and mouth that I was saying it wrong! Precious!

Thailand here we come... well, in 74 days!

It's official!  We have purchased our tickets for our dream vacation - 18 glorious days in Thailand where we will be beach hopping all around the country and basking in the sun and clear blue waters of one of the most beautiful countries in the world!   August 9th will not get here soon enough - Start the countdown - 74 days from today!!

Bazzinga is my best friend!

It's official, I am completely addicted to the MAC widget: Bazzinga.  I'm hoping that if I acknowledge it for the whole world to know, I will stop playing 15 games a day on my laptop!   

GIRLS ONLY Sunday!

Jess, Kristin and I always enjoy hanging out, all together, with our guys, but sometimes we just need a ladies only day! Today, we did just that! On my way to meet the girls, I came across these women in their late 60's who were carrying tubs of bricks - literally- on their heads up 5 flights of stairs at my subway! I was blown aways and had to take a picture! We all say that the old women in Korea have magical strength!

We met So Won and Shilla (some of our Korean friends) in Seomyeon for some Shabu Shabu - meat and vegetables that you dip in boiling water at your table.

Here's a picture of Jess with the gigantic plate of vegetables that they brought us!

After lunch, we endulged in some strawberry ice cream that tasted like cold strawberry whipped cream - mmm...

We intended on getting pedicures, but every place we went to was already busy, and since it was pouring rain, we decided we would duck into the underground subway shops and do some shopping. During our shopping extravaganza I found these "TOME" shoes. For those of you who know TOMS shoes, I'm sure you're laughing right now! Kev and I sold TOMS in our boutique in PHX... I have to hand it to the people who made these - they are identical!

So Won and Shilla had other plans, so after they left, Kristin Jess and I walked to a local DVD Bang (a private mini movie theatre with a leather couch-bed) and watched "He's Just Not That Into You." It was the perfect thing to do on a rainy day!


Since so many of you love seeing the Engrish shirts and signs, this next section is for your viewing pleasure! :)

This girl's shirt said "DAVID BECKHA"

This sign says that "SARTBUCKS COFFEE" is to the right.

This is a sign for Busan Women's University, but if I didn't know any better I would have thought it was an add for a preschool.

It's always important to take the "HAPPY SUBWAY"

On my subway ride home tonight, I was looking through my phone and found a section called emoticons... they are pre-made pictures that you can send to your friends. I thought these 2 were worth posting. :)
