Mike and Diana make it to the Gu

It's Friday, and Mike and Diana have been here (in Korea) since Wednesday. We picked them up from one of four bus depots yesterday. It was a trial and error situation trying to find the right station. Eventually, there was success when there were two waegookins waiting for us. We took them to the motel, and there was a nice situation trying to figure things out, but thanks to Jae Won, we got it settled. The room is fantastic! It's better than the hotel that we stayed in in Seoul. It even comes with complementary razor, toothbrush, and condom. There's even some sexy mood lighting. Yesterday, we took them for lunch and acquainted them slightly with the main drag we frequent. Today, we took them to Seomun Market and discovered many an alley and random crap. Mike and Diana also watched two of Luc's classes and one of mine. My kids were completely freaked out by my boyfriends parents. They were telling me yesterday, certain ways that I should address them. I have to be extremely formal, demure, and mouselike. Its a little late for that I think :D Mike's been having some fun with the metal chopsticks. It's not going to well. Diana told me that he was practicing this morning with toothbrushes !

Tomorrow we're heading out to Gyeong Ju, the historic captial of Korea. Jae Won is driving us. Should be quite a lovely time. Getting the camera ready currently. I am posting some pictures of some of my kids. There is one girl, Hyo Ji (Annie) in her girl scout (not girl guide, this is a different organization) uniform. The one that the two boys (Nam Hyeop and Young Wook) are holding is Min Seok. He is the cutest little bugger, he literally comes up to my hip and is one of my smartest kids in the school. i want to take him home. He wouldn't let me get a decent picture though, which is sad.

okay, the picture thing isn't working, i'll try to do it in another post

Hey Luc and Erin and hi Luc's parents! How I miss my visits to Kelowna and staying at your pretty house! Anyway, I'm glad to hear you both made it all the way over there safely and I'm sure you will be having tons of fun. Looking forward to hearing about it and seeing some pictures. Luc, you should get your parents to write an entry on the blog too! :)

Love, Monic
