Korea vs. Argentina (대한민국 v. 아르헨티나.)

While Korea unfortunately took a beating last night 4-1 (even accidentally scoring one goal FOR Argentina!!!!), we had a great time with our co-workers at a Chicken and Beer hof.

World Cup is a HUGE deal here and Park Ji Sung (plays for Manchester United) is a GOD. We beat Greece and that was an awwwesome game. I went down to City Hall with about 30,000 other fans standing in the rain cheering on the Red Devils.

Everyone is really excited about Korea potentially moving to the next round. Hopefully Korea beats Nigeria next Tuesday...

Green Curry

So Helen and I have gotten to be quite the cooks and our Green Curry is top notch. We added onions, red and yellow peppers, green peas and cashews. YUM.

Inspired by this INCREDIBLE food photographer, I have decided to start photographing some of our lovelier dishes...

Korean Dogs, Part 1

While to say I'm not a fan of small dogs is an understatement....Koreans are obsessed with their dogs (on any given day you will see at least one dog wearing shoes, a sweater vest, barrettes or dyed hair) and these pups have made for some good photo ops.

Mr. Kim's House

The owner of our hagwon (school) and 3 others, took us all to Everland for an end of semester fun day. Then we went back to his awesome house for a incredible buffet dinner and hilarious drinking games.

Everland

Went to Everland with last Thursday - what a way to spend a school day! It was a perfect day for rollercoasters and the T-Express was maybe the best ride I've ever been on...
