4:00 am and nothing to do!

We'll it 4:00 in the morning Saturday here in Korea. 2:00 your time. I'm wide awake. Mike of course is sleeping like a champ. Lucky him. I'm sure by the time we're suppose to come home I'll finally be on their schedule.

Yesterday we ate at this neat Korean restaurant in the Hyundai Mall with a couple of other couples. I have to tell you I had all the Koreans laughing at me, The waitress was cooking a big hotpot of food I can't remember the name. We just pointed at pictures because they could not understand us. It was family style and it was a little bit of beef and lot of vegetables. I think we ate and entire garden and 3 hours later we were starving. Ok here is the funny part. We ate with medal chopsticks. I was having a very hard time. Then all of a sudden the waitress comes over and took the chopsticks away and gave me anew pair. I was eating with the wrong end of the chop sticks. I was eating with the flat part. Then to top it all off 5 minutes later she come back and is saying poke it? Poke it? I had no idea what she was talking about. She went away and came back with a fork. I of course was bound to eat Korean style. So instead of using the fork I poked it with my chop stick :-) I had one whole side of the restaurant laughing and showing me from their table how to hold the chopsticks. I will add there was one other person in our group that got laughed at too. It was fun. We got pictures.

We're heading to the Korean Folk village this morning. I'm on a mission to find a Podagi. Joon loves to be carried on Foster mom back it's not a cute looking thing. I think I'll just be using it at home to comfort him. Also to find name scrolls. Have to get Garrett's birthname done

The Foster mom's are so amazing how the hoist up the children on their back and off they go. I think I won't be trying that unless mike is around. He probably slide off my back.


Ok enough rambling I'll write more later
