| Our Chuseok Supper of Bulgogi |
Over this last week was Chuseok (a mix between Korean Thanksgiving and Memorial Day). Since school was not in session, we thought it would be a perfect time to visit our good friend, Kate...who is also teaching in Korea, and see the sites of Seoul!

It was a 4 hour trip by bus/subway/and walking from one place to another, but we finally made it and had a wonderful time! Wednesday we did some exploring in Anyang City (a suburb of Seoul) and ate sushie and bulgogi. Thursday we went to Suwon Fortress with a Korean friend, after our visit to Suwon we went back to our new friend's house for an authentic Korean meal of squid, curry, eggplant, and some kind of meat.

| Cuttle Fish Pizza and Oyster Soup! |
Friday morning started off by eating a GIANT ASIAN PEAR!! (Be jealous Christina and Andrew...) After this delicous treat we went with a co-teacher from Teresa's school who took us on a tour of Seoul. Our favorite stop was Changdeok Palace. We also visited art galleries, ate some cuttle fish and oyster soup, and walked along Insadong shopping street.

This was one of our favorite weeks since we have been in Korea and we look forward to more adventures with Kate!
This weekend was much needed and a huge blessing to all three of us!
