Goodbye Mom and Dad

Well, Mom and Dad are off on their way to Seoul and then to Thailand. I tried to stay strong as they were leaving, and as soon as they got into the car, I turned my back and cried all the way home. I'm feeling low now. I even tried to watch a scary movie to cheer me up, but everything is so blase. Now there are no more parents visits to look forward to. Before, after saying goodbye to the parents, there was so much new stuff here in Korea to keep me distracted. I don't have that anymore. I've been feeling pretty frustrated lately, dealing with Korean everything. I don't want to have to deal with the cab driver who doesn't understand my tryings of Korean. I want to know what I'm buying at the grocery store. Things like that, gets really tiresome. I know it's part of the experience and all, but just some times...*sigh*

Yesterday, we made a day trip out to Gyeong Ju, which is the historical capital of Korea during the Shilla Dynasty. We took them to Bulguksa Temple, which is somewhere Lucas and I had never been. It's apparently one of the best temples in Korea, and it was pretty impressive. Many places where you weren't allowed to take photos though, I think Dad was a little saddened by that. We also went to Anapji Pond and the Tumulus Park. We had the tour down to a science after Lucas' parents :) That night we had to go back to Galbi for dinner, because I think that was Dad's favorite part of Korea. BBQ on the table :) Both Mom and Dad thought that the city we live in, Daegu, was the best one of all, and that's what Lucas and I think too. The people are friendly, everything is fairly easy to access, and we have a good round of friends and support here. I'm glad that Lucas and I decided to come here instead of Seoul. Good thing Bev pointed us this way.....only to disappear too early, but at least we got here ;) Now it's back to work today. I don't want to go. I don't feel like it's time to go back.
