Bijindo - sun, sand and friends

Ok, ok so I know we aren't great at keeping you all up to date but honestly not too much has gone on since we last wrote. We are living weekend to weekend here wishing we lived just a little closer to the beach! So over the past month we have headed down to the beach at Pohang (about an hour away from Daegu) and spent our long weekend on an amazing little island just off the south coast of Korea... this post is dedicated to the second beach trip... Bijindo.

So we headed out to the bus station to catch a 7:30am bus down to Tongyeong, where we would catch the ferry over to Bijindo around 11am. We wanted to make the most of our 3 days off so we wanted to get there as early as possible. The bus ride was uneventful, two and a half hours riding in the back seats (5 across) of a bus full of Koreans. We did get many dirty looks as I think that it must be some kind of unspoken rule that you must be quiet on all forms of public transportation. As a little sidebar, let me tell you about all the times we have gotten looks and shhhhs from people... KTX from Daegu to Busan - got told to be quieter by the train attendant and we weren't even being loud... just playing a little euchre. Express bus from Daegu to Pohang... we were shot about a million dirty looks for simply talking and laughing while all other riders were silent. And now again on the bus from Daegu to Tongyeong... same treatment. I wonder if it is because we are speaking English and people can't really tune it out as well. If you think about times when you are in an elevator or some other closed space and people are speaking a different language it is totally harder to ignore... who knows though!

Anyways we get to Tongyeong, and head down to the ferry terminal to find everyone and their mother is already there and the 11am ferry is sold out. This put a real monkey wrench in our plans! We are forced to sit and wait in the ferry terminal until the 2pm ferry!! We made the best of it, made a little camp spot and just hung out... music playing, drinks a flowin... Oh and one thing I forgot to mention our good friend Tae had actually overslept and missed the bus to Tongyeong so we are down one group member (who also happens to be the only one of our friends who speaks Korean!) We finally get a hold of her and she jumps on a bus for Tongyeong... the only problem is she may not make the 2pm ferry and that is the last one of the day. We are all trying to figure out what to do when she calls back with a plan to take a private boat over (and it will only take 10 minutes as opposed to the 45 minute ferry!) We are pumped and taxi over to the little fishing village where we are to leave from.

Finally around 2:30 or 3 o'clock we have all of our group members together and we are ready to go to the island. We load up the little boat we are taking over there and help another family get all their things in order and we are on our way! The drive over is beautiful and we are all excited for our time there! We arrive and the nicest girl picks us at the dock in a pickup truck. We load all the stuff on and head over to our pension. What is a pension you ask? Well it is kinda like a hotel but not really. There are cooking facilities (ie a little kitchen) and one big room. It obviously has a washroom too but there are no beds... the one thing I think I will never get used to in Korea, is sleeping on the floor... but we figured it was only a couple of days so why not? Well let me tell you this was the HARDEST floor I have ever slept on and wouldn't wish that kind of uncomfort on my worst enemy... so we made it easier to sleep by drinking lots and lots of maekju (aka beer).

Our first day was a great sucess with all of us enjoying a nice lunch of roast chicken sandwiches and cajun mayo, hitting the beach for some sun, sand and relaxation and then cooking up a mighty dinner of bulgogi (Korean specialty made by Tae and myself). After dinner we decided to kick it outside with our new friends the Korean boys living next door. We still are unsure of their story as none of them spoke English but we sure did have a great time!! They told us a ghost story about the haunted path up the mountain which then Luke and I decided would be a good idea to explore! We headed up the mountain, no flashlight, no plan.... let me tell you, I was scared... so scared in fact that I decided to turn on Luke and book it all the way back down to the pension! hahaha On the way I met our Korean friends and they walked me the rest of the way back down... then they went off to look for Luke! This whole process was getting to be too funny... then Ian went up to look for Luke and the Korean guys... the Koreans ended coming down first but from a completely different way... and then like 10 minutes later Luke and Ian came from another different path! It was unreal! Tae and I ended up staying awake until all hours of the night talking about English education in small towns with the girl who ran the pension (of course it was Tae and I talking, Tae translating, Tae and the girl talking, Tae translating!) Finally we decided it was time for a little ramyeon snack (Korean noodle soup that is super popular) and then we hit the sack...

Morning came early and it wasn't too hard to convince any of us to get up as well the floor wasn't all that comfy! We decided that this was a day to hit the beach hard and work on our tans... I wasn't hard to convince... The boys brought down their toys (baseball gloves, volleyball etc) and proceeded to play on the beach while us girls read our books and took in the sun. It was all going so well until our resident accident waiting to happen (aka Luke) ran to catch a ball in the water and sliced open his foot on a piece of glass or a rock or something in the water!!! Now this is a pretty serious problem as we are on an island in the middle of nowhere... and it is Saturday so there is no doctor on the island (why it matters that its Sat I'll never know). Luke wanted to stay, he figured it would be ok but Ian (our resident firefighter and therefore the most knowledgable about emergency situations) put his foot down and Luke had to go to the hospital. One call to 119 (the Korean equivalent to 911) had a boat on its way out to collect our friends (Luke, Tae and Ian) and off they went to Tongyeong. Hours later they return with a little worse for wear Luke and his 25 stitches. With the emergency averted we continued on with our vacation.

Dinner that night consisted of BBQed kabobs and rice... then we made a big bonfire in an old oil drum and hung out around the fire. A bit more calm of a night... aside from Jill and Laura's turn on the Nore Bang (karoke) which cleared out all the Korean boys next door! We all hit the sack again and looked forward to our last day.

Nothing too eventful happend our last day... everyone except me as I was feeling a little bit ill and worn out... went on a hike around the island for a while. I sat around the pension and read... it was a beautiful ending to our trip. We took the ferry back to Tongyeong at 4:30pm and then the bus back to Daegu... where real life began again on Monday.

That is about all that has gone down recently but I will be sure to keep you posted on our next big trip to Mudfest, the Daegu Amazing Race and our softball championships! Until next time... xoxo

Happy Birthday Buddha - Donghwasa and Mt Palgongsan

On our second long weekend of May (that is right we got two in a row!) We decided to take it easy and recover from the madness that had been the previous two weeks. We thought a nice hike in the mountains just north of Daegu would be a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon... I had forgotten that it was Buddha's birthday and figured it would be peaceful to see a temple, check out the world's tallest Buddha and spend some times with friends. Little did I know that A LOT of people had this same idea!

We started off in the early afternoon taking the City Express Bus out to Palgongsan. That is one thing I LOVE about Daegu is that you can take the bus just about anywhere. This ride was about 45 minutes to an hour and it cost us a whole 990 won (or about 99 cents). However it wasn't the most comfortable ride as many Korean bus drivers feel the need to continue to heat the buses in over 20 C weather. Then add in a whole lot of people (standing room only... and even there just barely, its like there is no max capacity for the buses) and you have one sauna of a bus ride!

Anyways we made it up to the base of the mountain and when we got out we were greeted by what seemed like karaoke in the main tourist square... so we started to look around for any kind of signage (that we could read) or tourist info booth (because they all have English maps). We really were not lucky with either of those so we just decided to start walking up and then we followed the guys with the hiking gear on!

This seemed to work out just fine for us as we soon approached the imposing gate leading to Donghwasa. The entry fee was 2500 won per person which seemed pretty reasonable so we paid and moved on... This was where we found the "traffic jam". There was a line of cars stretching for quite some distance but when we moved on a little further we found out that it was because they were waiting to cross the one way only bridge. However there certainly were a large number of people on the temple grounds as it was the day before Buddha's birthday.

We made our way up to the main temple area and checked out all the different statues of Buddha and the many buildings. Everywhere you looked there were lanterns upon lanterns upon laterns. I kind of expected this as all over the city there are lanterns hanging from every tree and post but I wasn't expecting the sea of laterns in the main temple square. We didn't actually enter any of the temples as we didn't really know the customs and didn't want to offend anyone so close to a religous holiday. We did however get some excellent pictures from outside.

From here we made our way to the Tongil Buddha statue, the world's biggest standing Buddha (33m high and 16.5m around). This statue is believed to cure sickness and prolong life. It is amazing. It is hard to describe the feeling of seeing something so huge in the middle of a mountain forest! The area around the statue included other temples as well as a pair of 17m high stone pagodas on either side. It was all very festive for the up coming ceremony on the Monday and there were heaps of people visiting. Some of the group had a chance to have a green tea ceremony break with a number of women dressed in the traditional Korean Hanbok clothing. The women told Ian that he was very handsome and Jay that he was very sexy! I wonder what the difference is in their eyes (I would say it is the facial hair... )

After this we decided that we had had enough for the day and that we would go downtown to grab a bite to eat before heading home. As we headed back down the mountain (we had to wait for 3 different buses because there were SO many people heading back at the same time) we were undecided about a location for dinner but then when we got there someone suggested Quizno's. Yes that is right. Daegu has a Quizno's. And while I can't say it is as good as it is at home, it is the darn closest thing I have had in 5 months. It was delicious!

And now you are all caught up. The weekend is almost here and perhaps we will do something blog-worthy. Until next time. Peace.

Daegu FC... definitely not the premier league

So all you blog fans, I, your trusty blogger, am back to finish up the remainder of the holiday weekend. You might ask yourself, "Why does she have so much time on her hands these days?" Well for those of you who don't know, Jay is working extra hard these days which leaves me with lots of time well, by myself. So I figure, what else have I got to do? haha Anyways, onto the stuff that matters!

We headed back early Monday from Busan to go to the Daegu FC game at World Cup Stadium. We didn't quite know how to get there or what to expect but what else is new? We jumped into a cab and headed over to the stadium. We had heard a little rumor that the game was free because it was Children's Day... however that turned out to be false. Well I guess it was partly true as it was free for CHILDREN (that should have been obvious).

The game itself was not overly exciting, but that may just be because I am not a huge soccer fan, and well there really weren't that many people there. But the half time show was gold! It started out with 4 army dudes rappeling from the rafters. When they got to the ground they whipped out automatic weapons and started firing (blanks of course). Next 4 more guys came down with this time head first and when they got to the ground they were firing different guns (handguns I think but what do I know about guns?)... this continued for 4 different groups of 4 army guys all firing guns, luckily the opposite direction of where we were seated. Then a huge group of Korean martial arts men came marching onto the field where they proceeded to put on a martial arts kicking, jumping and breaking stuff show. All very amusing! Following this the game went back to the second half which was ok. (but no guns and no martial arts)

Aside from the actual sports aspect of the game I just love going to see what is going to happen or what the Korean people are going to do. One of my favourites from this game was the folks who made hats out of newspaper to protect themselves from the sun. Why not just bring hats? you ask... well who knows... maybe it is a lot easier to make one... maybe the paper ones are more stylish... maybe they really just like paper crafts... your guess is as good as mine. It was funny though because we chose to sit where we were because we wanted to get some sun and enjoy the day, however we were like the ONLY people sitting there. Everyone else was sitting way up in the stands because it was under the shade. I will give the Koreans one thing... they are definitely not going to succomb to skin cancer any time soon... the number of people I see wearing full length pants and long sleeve shirts on 30 degree days is unreal. Its like they just don't feel the heat.

That is about it for the game. We headed from here down to Suseong Lake for the boys to play a little basketball and to enjoy being outside for a little bit longer. Then it was on to restaurant street for a little galbi (marinated thinly cut pieces of beef that you eat wrapped in a lettuce leaf with rice and other sides) before heading home. Another great day in the Gu!

An extra long weekend in Busan!

May 2nd -5th

In honour of our visitors we decided to make the long weekend an extra long weekend and took the Friday off. So with our lovely Monday off for "Children's Day" (don't ask me why that is a holiday seeing as every bloody day is children's day lol) we had 4 days to take off and explore Busan.

We woke up early on Friday to make our way over to Dongdaegu to jump on the KTX (the high speed train... which let me tell you does not do Mach 8 despite what anyone tells you!) to Busan. After a short 1 hour and 10 minute train ride we got ourselves into the city. We stepped out of the station in Busan to a giant dragon display... it was pretty unreal! It was 11:11am and we were ready to go! The enthusiasm died down a little after we realized we really had about another 45 minutes on the subway but that didn't stop us from talking to random people and trying out new things (albeit from a vending machine in the subway station... Ashley was so disappointed by her cream soda that had no fizz).
When we finally got off the subway at Haeundae Beach we were itching to find somewhere to dump our stuff and start exploring. This however proved to be much harder than it sounded. We were under the impression that we could get a room in one of the Korean 'love motels' (yes it is exactly what it sounds like, complete with round beds) for 25 000 to 30 000 won a night (approx $20 to $30), so we were searching for a deal. The only problem is with these love motels is that very few of the concierage (haha) speak English. Anyways, all of our friends (and the guide books) say to ask to see the rooms before you agree to pay for them as some of them are tiny with just a bed in it... so we decided to split up (Jay and Ash, TJ and I) and check out as many as possible. In the end we just carried around the guidebook which had the sentence in Korean and pointed to it. Needless to say at some places where the owner was a little old lady who couldn't see anymore this didn't work. We checked out probably 20 motels looking for a deal but we couldn't find anything less than 50 000 won. Then we remembered it was a long weekend. Even at love motels they jack up the price on the long weekend. As a last resort before meeting back up with Jay and Ash, TJ and I checked out one final place. As luck would have it a patron was standing in the hallway when we were trying to enquire about the rooms and she spoke perfect Korean and English. She got the lady to cut us a deal and we got all three nights for 120 000! We dumped the stuff, grabbed a few beers and headed down the beach to wander around for a bit.

This first night was Ashley's birthday so we had already decided that we would do a nice dinner for her and get dressed up to celebrate. We had been eating a lot of Korean recently so we decided a nice Western dinner would suit us just fine. We headed to the Outback steakhouse as everyone wanted steak (and Jay had not had steak in about 4 months and I was ready for some good salmon). We were not really prepared for the experience though! TJ and Jay's steaks were very undercooked... for future reference, a med/rare steak in Korea is just about the equivalent of blue rare at home! However Ash's and my food was superb! After dinner we just decided to call it a night and relax in the motel as we knew that when all our friends arrived the next day it was going to be a LONG long weekend!

Saturday morning came and we decided to take a little harbour cruise that we had seen the day before. We got our selves ready and set out to find breakfast and a bank... We ended up finding this amazing little "toast" restaurant (which is simply a sandwich place that makes sandwiches on a grill but man let me tell you this is one of the most exciting finds when we have spent most our time here thinking there was no such thing as breakfast in Korea!) which made a mean bacon and egg sandwich. We then headed towards the water and lo and behold there was a bank! This was really turning out to be our day! We decided to stop and grab some soju, cause who doesn't like a quick nip in the morning, and smoothies for the boat ride...

The cruise was pretty great, it was short, about an hour, and it went down the beach, over past the main bridge (a kind of landmark in Busan) and out to the light house. It was a very beautiful cruise and Jay and TJ made friends with a couple of little kids who loved TJ's beard and giving Jay high fives!

Later on that afternoon we met up with a bunch of friends from Daegu and hit the beach. Part of the group played a little ultimate frisbee and volleyball and some of us continued with the soju and a little suntanning... as the sun began to set we decided to grab a shower, get ready for the night, get some food and head out to a bar called Star Face where they had all you can drink for 15 000 won (talk about dangerous)!

Needless to say the next morning was a slow one and no one really felt like doing too much, which worked out quite well as the weather in the afternoon was less than exciting (cold and drizzling rain). After another wonderful breakfast at the toast shop, some of the boys decided to head over to the auto show that was happening that weekend in Busan. Us girls (and TJ) decided to wander around the shops and see if there was anything worth buying! When the weather turned we decided to spend the day relaxing around the motel, watching movies, reading books and the like. Some people braved the weather but not too many of us! That night we planned to grab a nice dinner, all of us together, as it was TJ and Ashley's last weekend in Korea and our friend Lindsay was heading home to South Africa the following week.

The next morning we were up and out of there bright and early so we could make it back to Daegu for the Daegu FC game at 3pm! The trip back on the KTX was not nearly as fun as the way there but we still had a whole day left of our really long weekend to enjoy!

The Sculls Do Daegu

Wednesday the 23rd of April TJ and Ashley left Canada and embarked on the crazy trip to Korea. They arrived here late Thursday night and Jay and I met them at the bus station. This was the beginning of an awesome two weeks. We took them for their first Korean meal at 3am as they were starving from the day of flying. We headed down to our local 24 hour gimbap shop and ordered up some bibimbap and ddeok beok ki. This was the beginning of Ashley's love for ddeok and TJs attempt to try all the Korean food he could! We went home to catch up with each other and then catch some zzz's before work on Friday. Luckily for me my last class on Friday was cancelled so I got to come home early and hang out. Our plan for Friday night was to head down to grab a bite to eat and then hit Commune's to introduce TJ and Ash to downtown Daegu (or maybe to introduce Daegu to them!) We ended up being a little late and not being able to hit the restaurant we wanted (because in Korea most restaurants close around 10 and seeing as we work until 10 it makes it difficult to get a decent meal after work). So we moved onto plan B: Billibow.

For those of you who don't know what Billibow is, it is a combo of billiards and bowling that is just amazing! As long as you are eating or drinking you can play free!! We ordered up some pizzas and Hite and hit the lanes. While we were there the bartenders put on this flare bartending show involving fire and everything! I took a video, if you want to see it check out my (Gar's) facebook. From there it was on to Commune's for trivia night. Again we were a little late so we didn't get to play but we sure did get to have a good time! By the end of the night everyone was singing along to the tunes and then we decided to move the late night party to Thunderbirds for a couple of games of foosball then on to the gimbap shop for some food... its like the days/nights never end here... until the sun comes up!

The plan for Saturday was to hit up Woobang Tower land and then our friend Lindsay's going away rooftop BBQ... Due to our late night (or early morning) we decided that rollercoasters and cotton candy could wait until later in the week... we had a pretty quiet morning and then headed on over to Linds' place. It was a tad chilly to be hanging out on the roof but we all braved the weather and had a great time. A bit later on in the night we hit up Old Skool downtown but all in all we had a relatively tame night... We wanted to be well rested for our softball game on Sunday!

Sunday was the big game... the Green Goblins (that's us) vs the Thunderbirds... a win here would put us in a tie for second place... haha yeah we are really serious about this stuff ;) No seriously though, we packed up a big towel, some food and beers and headed down to Duryu Park to spend the afternoon in the sun. It was a gorgeous day, perfect for some ball. We played a huge game and came out on top with our cheering squad helping us along the whole way! TJ and Ash managed to get some great action shots and we decided it after the game we would head down and grab some Shabu Shabu for supper with the group. Shabu is very thinly sliced pieces of meat that you cook up in this boiling broth in the center of the table with a bunch of veggies an ddoek. You then can place in on little ssam (lettuce leaves with rice) and kinda eat it like a lettuce taco (that is probably the stupidest description ever but you get the point). We have a favourite Shabu place over in our neck of the woods but seeing as we had a pretty big group that was interested in coming we decided we would move to the more central location of... you guessed it.... downtown. The food was good (but not as good as our place haha) and TJ had the opportunity to down a big plate of seafood (he had Nick and Tae to share with). After Shabu we wandered around downtown a little window shopping and then headed home.

Seeing as Jay and I had to work all week, TJ and Ash were on their own for Monday to Thurs. They ended up wandering our neighbourhood on Monday, checking out all our local fruit and veg vendors, the local shopping and the sites. Tuesday they attempted to make their way out to Mt. Palgongsan (somewhere we haven't even been yet) but were thwarted by the sheer difficulty of making your way in a city where you don't speak the language. They ended up back at Duryu Park and explored all it has to offer (bicycle rentals, a small Buddhist temple, little walking trails). So Wednesday we got all the directions sorted and after a lovely lunch of Sam Gap Sal (long pieces of pork that kinda look like bacon but thicker which are cooked on an inverted wok type thing in the center of your table along with veggies and served with a plethora of side dishes) they headed up to Gatbawi (a Buddhist shrine on Palgongsan). The hike was more difficult than many of the guide books made it out to be so TJ hiked the last half of it by himself while Ash went back down and explored the temple area. Wednesday night we hit up a little bit of Western food at Pizza Mall where you can apparently buy your own beer and bring it into the restaurant because they don't sell it there. Or at least that is what we thought you could do and no one seemed to tell us we couldn't! Then it was on to Commune's open mike night to see some of the local talent. We tried not to stay out too late but this is Daegu. Thursday we hit up Hami Mami's for the best Western breakfast in the East and then TJ and Ash headed over to Woobang Tower land for a day of fun. They ended up doing the bungee jump off the tower!! Crazy kids!

Friday we booked off for our trip to Busan so Thursday ended our week of the Scull family in Daegu.... Check out the next post for our trip to Busan!

Catching up.... yet again!

Alright, first off I am going to apologize again (yeah I know) for the lack of posts in the recent past... we have had a whirlwind month with TJ and Ashley visiting for two weeks, the change from cold to beautiful spring weather and well regular life! No excuses though, and I am here to catch you all up on what has been happening in the Far East...

Last post we tested our physical fitness with a hike up Mt Apsan... this time we have really expanded our Korean experience with a professional baseball game, a good ole college styles beer pong tourney, some new Korean cuisine, a trip down to Busan and a professional soccer game... Its been a jam packed month so I hope I can do it justice! The Sculls trip to Daegu will have to be in a second post as it seems as though I have a lot to talk about!

Samsung Lions

First on the list is our inaugural Samsung Lions experience.. and what an experience... a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunshine, beer, ball... can it get any better? We rocked up to the stadium a little late for the game and got our tickets. $6 for a general admission ticket, we knew this was the start of a beautiful thing. Then, as I scanned the area for my new best friend (the beer vendor), all I could hear was a number of Koreans all shouting to get my attention so that I would buy my beer from them... the lady who was jumping up and down won my attention and I headed over. $2 a beer. Why can't sporting events in North America be like this? I am sure we would be heading out to support our team (or really any team for that matter) all the time!
We got our supplies and went in to find our seats... We found a big group of people from our baseball league all decked out in jerseys with their names in Korean on the back... talk about serious fans! We decided this would be the spot and settled into our seats. The sun was hot, the beer was cold and the game was ok (haha Korean sporting events are not really of the same caliber as the major leagues at home but who really cares?). As the game wore on, our seats became shaded and we thought it was time for a move... we moved into no man's land (one side of the stadium is filled with Lions fans and the other is the visiting team's fans) and watched our Lions beat the LG Twins! Now it was time to continue the day downtown...

Beer Pong Tourney

Now I am sure you are all thinking... where and why would there possibly be a beer pong tournament in downtown Daegu?? Well truthfully I am not sure about why but the where part is easy. Club That, a foreigner bar downtown decided to throw together this tournament where it was $20 to enter and it was all you could drink with prizes going to the winner of the tourney and the best dressed. Tae and I being the party poopers we are decided not to enter the costume portion of the evening but made up for it with our killer beer pong skills. Jay, Nick, Luke, Ian, Laura and Megan all took a stab at the costume contest with some HILARIOUS results. Jay and Nick actually ended up pulling off the win in this department and coming up with second place overall in the tourney. Not a bad showing for Team Canada. Not to mention they somehow had the entire bar singing the Canadian National Anthem every single time they won a match. Seriously 5 different times I sung Oh Canada that night! That has to be some kind of record in this country! Post tourney we were all pretty tired and hungry from the day of ball and the night of pong and headed to the Gimbap shop for a little late night meal and then home for a good nights sleep.

That's about it for your first installment... the next one is on its way (this time I promise!)

Conquering Mt. Apsan

This week we made plans with some other folks to head out to Mt. Apsan to take a little hike up one of the more beautiful mountains in the city. Apsan is located in the south end of Daegu, which is great for us because it is not too far from our apartment. We got up early, had a little breakfast headed out for the subway and then made the trek past Camp Walker (an American Army Base) and then met everyone at the base of the mountain. We decided, due to time contraints that it would best to take the cable car part of the way up, so we got our tickets and waited for enough people to fill the car. Within about ten minutes or so, we all piled in the car and headed up the mountain. The view from the car was breath-taking and it was much higher than expected! After our ears popped and we got out of the car, we took a minute to look around at the all the trails and then headed out.
The oddest thing about hiking in Korea is that it is so popular that you can see anyone from the seasoned hiker with all the latest North Face or K2 gear to a couple wearing dress clothes and shoes (yes this could mean women in high heels!) to mom's toting small children... SO I figured if a six year old could do this... how hard could it be?
We headed up the trail which at first was pretty easy but as we got nearer to the "peak" it got how can I say it... a little intense! Our hike to the top lasted about a half hour or 45 minutes and the view was spectacular.... you could see all of Daegu (and if it wasn't sooo foggy/smoggy we would have gotten some great pics... sorry) and it looked like a little lego city with all the rows of apartment buildings!
As we headed back down we decided to hit the new breakfast place over by Camp Walker which is run by a friend of our from the baseball league. Excellent idea... the first real "American" breakfast we have had since we got here! (aside from at home... but if you know us at all you know how much we love a good breakfast out!)
So ended another lovely Saturday afternoon... next stop Samsung Lions baseball so stay tuned!
