* We left our camera at Camp Humprheys over the weekend so pics will follow in a later post.* We had off this past Friday in preparation for the Lunar New Year or Seollal as the Koreans call it. So on Friday Ally and I went to Suwon to do some shopping and walking around. … Continue reading Seollal in Seoul
So since I live in Korea, where girls have the bodies of 13 year old boys, I find it terribly hard to shop. Joe and I just returned from our Valentine’s weekend in Seoul. I had planned on doing a lot of shopping since I haven’t really done any since we got here a month… Continue reading Living in the land of little people…
Just a quick post tonight, I have to do laundry and pack for our trip to Seoul this weekend. I hope to go to the fabric market at Damdaemun Market, I’ll post on Tuesday if I find anything good.

I played a game with my students today that I found on Dave’s ESL Cafe. The website has a wealth of information, and among other things, I like the extensive list of ESL games. I brought in 10 brown paper lunch bags each filled with a simple item (golf ball, toothpaste, pen, coin, candy, battery,… Continue reading A lion, a tiger, a pen, oh my!

She works at Winrock International, a nonprofit organization that works with… Continue reading Late night crafts…
I made a baby grocery bag for my friend’s daughter. The same little girl that I made the baby apron for. She can put all sorts of fake food and other goodies in it and haul it around the house. I used two cloth napkins from my thrifted stash. They are the perfect size for… Continue reading Baby Grocery Bag
This is the Pizza Etang takeout menu. Everyday when we arrive home from work there is a slew of takeout menus taped or magnetized to our apt. door. Some we keep, some we don’t. Pizza Etang was a keeper because some of their menu items were printed in English, always a plus. The phone conversation… Continue reading Pizza Etang
Saturday – Joe and I headed downtown to do a bit of shopping. We stumbled across some awesome signs for your amusement. First up, a little background info – from our kitchen window I can see a huge CNN sign in the distance. I often wondered why there was a large CNN affiliate in Songtan,… Continue reading CNN Korea
No pics today sorry… But I will provide you with a dose of Korean culture. I had spouse orientation today from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. And no, I did not win the “Who-Can-Put-Your-Gas-Mask-On-The-Fastest” contest. This is a class the military offers to spouses to “inform” us about all the goings on at our new… Continue reading Korean Culture 101
