Bodily Family Fun: Scouts, Street Dancing, and Skateboards

안녕하새요 Everyone!

This week I decided to add some Hangul letters to my blog. Hangul is the official language of South Korea and the above letters mean hello. It is pronounced Annyeonghaseyo. So hello, everyone. I am glad you are back. We have had a good week. Dave has been super busy at work, so the kids and I were on our own. We spent a lot of time at home because it has been so humid outside. I don't know what happened to the rainy season because all we have seen is hot, humid, sunny weather. I definitely miss central air conditioning!

There is not much to share from the beginning of the week, but on Thursday I remembered to snap one picture from Darci's Girl Scout party at Lolli Polli's. It is an indoor trampoline place here in Dongducheon. I have posted pics of it before, but it was a while ago. They have party rooms complete with karaoke. The rooms are SUPER TINY! I am literally standing in the doorway to this room. We could not have fit anyone else inside. The troop provided a pizza lunch for girls so they had Korean pizza complete with corn! And while we were there, some teenage Korean girls must have had a quick break from school because they went into the next room and sang Karaoke for about 30min and left.

On Friday, I gave the kids some Won and let them go to the corner store to get a snack. They were so sweet, they brought me back an ice cream bar. Darci decided to try something different......gum in a tube! It comes out like toothpaste and as you chew it becomes gum......GROSSEST gum I have ever tried!

I was confused too, Darci

Saturday was so much fun! The kids and I went back to Lolli Polli with our friends, The Pessas. While the kids bounced, Dawn and I got to hang out and chat. We also went to dinner at Han's Deli.... and no, they do not have sandwiches! Afterwards, we walked around New City and did a little shopping at the Daiso store.

restaurants always have TINY water cups

I have yet to find a restaurant with a napkins bigger than this

and most of the time, there are none at your table!

Here are a couple of the odd sites we encountered on our outing.

this man is caulking a sign on the third floor

he is not strapped to that little seat!

I can't figure out if the store was actually paying him to do that

or if he just loves to perform!

let's go to Daiso.... they have parking INSIDE!

the name of a restaurant we passed

I WANT YOU......Christian Deer Hunting Americans,

And finally, on Sunday, Darci rode her new skateboard for the first time. Dave was even able to take a few minutes to teach her a few things. It was definitely a learning experience!
