The day

As I mentioned, my parents arrived in great spirits. In fact, I couldn't believe their energy considering the fact that I felt like dying when I arrived a year ago. Then again I hadn't been able to sleep the night before or on the plane ride so I was really hurting.


It's really funny to have my family here with me in my life in Korea. Then again, thanks to web cam and this blog and other things we have been able to keep in very good contact this year and it hardly feels like I've missed them.

While I was at work this morning they were real adventurers, walking all around Suji and checking things out, and exploring all of Lottemart. Good for them! Too bad my mother has a sore knee and it's already flaring up. I hope it doesn't get perpetually worse because there's not much else to do but walk. Oh me, oh my.

I took them to my mandu place this afternoon and they quite liked gogi (meat) mandu but thought kimchi mandu was too spicy. They also tried kim bap and thought it was good. Then we went to Gangnam and walked around and they were excited by the people and the goods for sale along the road. We sat at a coffee shop and talked then went for dinner which was all really nice.

It's good to see my parents and to see Seoul through their eyes. I kind of feel like a tourist again and I'm amazing at my killer Korean skills.

Tomorrow we're going to try to take a tourist bus though I don't know any information about that. I've got a gimpy mother on my hands.

That's all I've got.
