Just a normal day (in Korea)

Yesterday we walked to a nearby (smallish) city. We are sort of far away from Seoul, so there's not much out where we are staying. But there is a lot of complexes with groups of huge apartment buildings; probably about a hundred apartments in each building.

We exchanged some money at the bank and then went to a glasses store. It was pretty cheap to get some glasses, so we bought a few pairs, and it included the exam and only took like 10 minutes total.

After walking back we had lunch that her aunt made (rice cakes with ramen - very tasty!) and spent time with her aunt/cousin/grandparents. For dinner we walked over to a nearby restaurant and had nengmyun (cold soba noodle soup) and loach stew. On the way I saw a sign and pictures for "bap burger", a burger where the bun is like two patties of rice and seasoning. I didn't get a picture but hopefully we can try one later and report back!

Today we rode the bus and subway for about 1.5 hours to get to Seoul where we took a traditional cooking class and wore hanboks (traditional Korean dress). More on that later.

A conversation from yesterday walking back from town:
Wife: I haven't seen any white people since we left the airport.
Me: what about me?
Wife: I see you every day!
Me: I just saw a white person in that ad on the sign over there!

Saw some foreigners once we got to Seoul today!
