Honorable Mentions

Sitting at a coffee shop between playing card games.  Ryan lost.

Katie lost

There are a few things that have happened over the past week that deserve a mention on our blog:


1. A few days ago while we were on the subway playing cards, a Korean man struck up a conversation with us in English, (broken English).  After a few minutes of our conversation he asked Ryan if he was Korean.

"Um, me?  No, I'm not Korean.  This is Spanish," Ryan said pointing to his skin.
"OOOOOOOOO, whaaaaaa?  I thought you were Korean man who met American woman," the man said flamboyantly.

A little later in the conversation.....
"Are you dating?"
"Oh, no, we're married," we said, showing him our rings.
"OOOOOOOOO, WHAAAAA? But you guys are having fun together!  Usually when people get married, they just sit and don't talk, but you guys aren't."

Hong was his name.


2. Just last week, Ryan bought his fourth pair of shoes since we have been here.
Ryan: 4, Katie: 0.


3. Yesterday we went exploring in the city and we found a bowling alley, so on a whim we went in.  I'm not a huge fan of bowling unless I play "horse" bowling.  The game is whoever goes first gets to make up a style to bowl the ball, and the second person has to do it too.  Then the second person gets to go first and pick a new style. Whoever gets the highest score wins.  Let's just say, we got a lot of dirty looks.

This one was backwards and between the legs

The guy next to me was probably one of our enemies we made that day.

Though we made a lot of enemies at the bowling alley, we also made some friends.  We saw a couple walk into the bowling alley who looked like they spoke English.  Desperate for friends, Ryan and I went  over to them and introduced ourselves.  They were from Ireland and had been here for four months.  They were so kind as to take us for a little tour of the area and show us were some good places where to sing karaoke, go dancing, and get some good food.  We exchanged Facebook information so it means it's official; we have friends.




4.  I find my husband sexiest when he looks like this:

mmmmmm hmmmm
