Well, there's not much going on that would make for a good blog posting, so I thought that I would answer a question and then just post some gratuitous pics of O. for the grandparents! :)
Someone had asked if Dunkin Donuts had any weird flavors, and I have to admit that we haven't actually gone in yet. But, I did take this picture from the outside - looks like kiwi is their featured donut!
Today is the second day that O. and I are on our own - we were able to go with S. yesterday to the trip to Costco. Strange to be in Costco while in Korea. It was actually a good thing that S. and I both had our cards since no one else was a member. We were able to pay for our stuff, then take each of the other teachers through one at a time to checkout. So, things that were different than the one in the states: beer and wine for sale (note a pattern here with our shopping?); whole octopuses for sale in the seafood case; $15-20 for a box of cereal and $28 for the big box of oatmeal packets; pizza with bulgogi meat on it. Speaking of pizza, you would not believe how good a slice of pizza from Costco is when you are here!
So funny thing happened with O. and I on our own today. We took the metro into the center of Cheonan and started to look for somewhere to get lunch. As we leave the train station, I notice a big line of people getting bowls of something, but paying nothing in return. I decide that we should check it out. We stand in line and get a bowl of rice with chicken soup and kimchi on top - yummy! It's not really until we are finished eating that I realize that probably this is like a mobile soup kitchen and most of the people standing in line looked like they needed a free meal. Oops.
Oh well - it's all about meeting ALL types of people, right? Ok, grandparents, on to the O. pics...
