Seoul

On Saturday, our friend Ted's daughter, Jenny, and her honey David gave us a great tour of Seoul. This is us in a neighborhood called Myeong-Dong. Notice the mountain in the background.



There are these cookie-makers that stretch tubes of cold honey into into hundreds of fine strands and wrap them around nuts.



Seoul is very romantic, so much so that the city intentionally leaves the snow on one of the paths to make it more picturesque.



These are our wonderful hosts, Jenny and David. Yes, that is an official Yankees hat with Swarovski crystals.




Jenny and David took us to this traditional tea house. David and Gabriel each had a hot mug of special man tea.

Apartment

This is our futuristic apartment.

Megan welcomes you.

In Korea they are really into velvet bedding.

In the previous post you could see the factory outside our window. We asked what kind of factory it is. We were told that it is where the burn the garbage, and that we shouldn't worry because the wind always blows in the same direction so we won't be able to smell it.

This is our toaster. It has a lid. The bread here comes in short loaves without ends (or butts as my Dad likes to call them).

This is our apartment building from the outside. We are still trying to figure out how to write our address in English, which I guess means that we technically don't know where we live.

Our floors are heated so I had to set my beer on a book to keep it from getting warm.

This is the bathroom...

Hamburger For Breakfast

We arrived in Ilsan, Republic of Korea on Wednesday. This morning it is very cold. We went out looking for breakfast in our new neighborhood. After for searching for Korean breakfast and having no luck we went into a cafe' and asked:
"Do you serve breakfast?"
"Breakfast?"
"Maybe eggs?"
"Would you like hamburger?"
