We saw them, but didn't taste them.

We only have a couple more months here in Korea. Long enough to not want to really start packing, but short enough to start thinking of all the things that we need to see before we leave, and all the things that we'll miss once we do.

Cue a trip to Suwon folk village this weekend to take advantage of the beautiful weather and to meet up with friends that have just of crazy a schedule as we do.

We may not get to Jeju - we're still trying to figure out when and if to plan a trip there as there is quite a mixed consensus on whether or not it's really worth it.  However, even if we don't get to Jeju, at least we can now say that we've seen their famed pigs.  The black poop pigs.  Famous as a delicacy (supposedly they are tastier and more tender than other pork in Korea), and known as poop pigs because at one time they were fed human poop.  Yup. Poop.



And as our friend is showing, you could actually sit here and deposit your poop right into their pen.


Lovely. S. and O. are suitably impressed with the demonstration.

So there it is.

For those of you who don't know, we'll be heading off to China this summer for S. and I to start our new jobs.  We'll both be teaching, which is stressing me out quite a bit since it will back to the classroom after four years at home with the kids.  O. will be starting 1st grade and hopefully Z. will be able to adjust to a new nanny and staying at home while we are at work.

I'm hoping to use our new blog home to document our adventures once again for all of you stateside and in Korea. Until then, we'll try to squeeze as much from Korea as we can until we leave.

Hugs, R
