We were invited by another couple who arrived here at the Guest House last night from Australia to come to their first meeting with their son and take photos and video. We did so gladly.
After that we went to Itaewon and got a bunch of things for the kids. Shhh don't tell them but here's what we got them:
~ we got each a name chop (a name stamp with their Korean name in the hangul)
~ Tae Hee got a jewelry box as well as Korean mask set, a norigae, and a Korean doll
~ Ryan got a norigae with a big Korean drum on it, and special video but we're not saying what it is because it will ruin the surprise
~ Katie got her cookies but we are still looking for a doll for her...we hope to find one that she'll like
I didn't pick up anything for ourselves since just being here and experiencing everything is absolutely priceless.
Oh dear brother if you're reading this I found something for you. I hope you'll like it.
Mom, sorry no necklaces like you wanted. We tried.
We hope to visit our children's birthplace this weekend and take some photos of that area before we have our meetings on Monday. And on Tuesday we're leaving. Seems like such a short time that we have been here. Gosh there are so many things I want to do here...National Museum of Korea, see Seoul Tower, go to Namdaemun market, see the DMZ (no I haven't done that due to all of the other emotions I have been having here and how much time you need to devout to it), and so much more.
With everything here in Seoul, you can spend a lifetime here and not see everything there is to see here. Angie, if you're reading this I think you would love it here.
Annyong!!
