no cut-sies

we have a tally going of how many times we have been cut in front of while standing in line.  so far we have 3 that stand out the most.  all of which went like this:

we are standing in the line at the market.  it's our turn, so we place our desired items on the counter.  the first of our items gets rung up and then someone, literally, steps into the 4 inch space between us and the counter, places their desired items in the hands of the check-out person and starts speaking Korean.  And each time, the check-out person leaves us hanging.

when in rome...eat burritos!

we went on a journey this weekend to find mexican food.  success!  we made a 45 minute trip to a part of seoul that is extremely americanized, and we found los amigos restaurant.  we ordered chips and guacamole, chips and salsa, two burritos, one enchilada, one tostada, one corona, and one margarita.  we left feeling the most joy we may have ever experienced.  this journey is probably going to be a once-a-weekend thing now.

we figured out what we are going to be for Halloween!

we also figured out how to make pizza- by using a pan.

Family and Friends

We have the best family and friends!
Our friend Jana came to visit for the weekend.  We explored the city a little bit.  Ryan and I took her to our favorite sushi place, and she agreed: it's the best sushi ever!

Our Aunt, Uncle and Cousins sent us a care-package this week!  There were a lot of high-fives and cheers as we opened each gift.  And don't you worry-I incorporated the mustard into the first meal I had upon it's arrival.  We can't wait to try to make no-bake cookies!

Korean Tradition

On Saturday we had a school function dedicated to Korean Tradition.  Parents were invited to the school for half the day to celebrate with their children.  We all played traditional Korean games, made and ate traditional Korean food,  and learned traditional Korean etiquette.  The students and teachers came to school dressed in traditional Korean attire, which Ryan and I were also required to wear.

We are holding wooden tops, and Ryan is wearing pink pants.

Pumpkin, Green Tea and Strawberry flavored (something?) balls.

Over the weekend we....

We went on a hike.

Went to a coffee, smoothie and waffle cafe.

Amazing waffle with ice cream on the side.

Ryan got a delicious smoothie, and of course we played cards.

We ate at a Korean restaurant that didn't have any pictures on the menu.

This was the menu.

This is what we got. It cooked right in front of us and was delicious.

We sang karaoke at a place where you rent a private room.

We baked cookies over the stove.  They turned out well!

Pan cookies.
