I have done a LOT since my last post. I finally went to the Lotte Department Store. OMG EXPENSIVE!! There were a few things that were not badly price but nothing I would actually buy....so no idea what to do with my gift certificate. I might either use it at the tea shop, since I love tea and they have some from Jeju-do I want to try or save up money to buy something I really want that is kind of expensive. Haven't decided yet.
I went jogging at the river. BEAUTIFUL. I think I took more pictures then actual jogging but it's ok! I enjoyed it.
There is a really nice cafe called Podium that has stacks of board games. Trying to start a weekly game night. We'll see how that goes. There was another birthday day party in May. There is one every month. The kids are SO cute!
Hanbok Day was rained out but will try again this month! That is the day where you go to the traditional village, Hanok Village and wear Hanboks, tradition Korean clothing.
I got a package from home which was WONDERFUL!
The BIGGEST thing thought was hiking up Moak Mountain and staying the night in a guest house. OMG the hiking was CRAZY HARD! Very steep. My friend was like 'it isn't that bad, moderate.' MODERATE MY FOOT. If it wasn't for the AMAZING view that made it worth it I would have DIED and been a very PISSED out ghost.
ANYWAYS PICTURE TIME!!!
