South Koreas got Seoul!

Hey everyone. I have a few minutes before I leave for the hagwon, so I thought I'd let everyone know what we have been up to. Last weekend we went out with our Korean co-teachers for a beer, and then went to Ellui, the foreigner hangout in Yeochon. There were quite a few people there and it was a lot of fun. As usually, everyone stayed out way too late (since the bars do not close) and we ended up getting home quite late.

The next morning we were up bright and early to go babysit the best nieces, Hana and Sara. They behaved perfectly all day and did not fight one time in 12 hours! We made brownies, went to the playground, and played all day. At the playground, one young Korean boy said "Hi" and started talking to us. Soon we had a throng of 30 kids surrounding us asking us questions in English and Korean. It was quite an event. They thought Megan and I were Hana and Sara's parents, and that Hana and Sara didn't speak Korean, only English, because they were American. FINALLY Hana stopped being shy long enough to tell the kids (in Korean) that we were babysitting them. It was pretty crazy...!

Sunday was a lazy day highlighted be Megan and I cutting our hair. We have some pics that we will put up later.

This week is a short week for teaching. We have Friday off for Foundation Day. Korean flags are popping up in the neighborhood left and right. We are taking advantage of the off day with a trip to Seoul, Itaewon to be specfic. The foreigner part of Seoul. Expect a recap soon! We are going by train because the train station in only two blocks from our house, pretty nice!

Here are the latest pictures. The first few pictures are of Megan's students, then from Friday night, and then a few pictures from babysitting. Hopefully we can get some pics up from the haircut soon too...
