Food. I think everyone that came over gained at least a few pounds. There was just so many different kinds of food that we wanted to introduce to them. The three weeks or so they were here they did more and ate a wider variety of food then most people that haved lived over here for a few years. I'm quite proud of that accomplishment, that is what I wanted to do for them and to actually to do it, wow. Started off a little shaky with the food but ended up with none.

In Seoul, there is a good mix of old and new. As you can to the right even in the center of downtown one can find a palace which is a good place to relax, reflect, or sightsee. Being from the country and now living in a big city places like this or even parks are quite a nice refugee during the day. Usually places like these there is nobody around, so they are very quiet and somewhat peaceful. For some reason throughout the country of Korea especially at palaces, temples, and road sides there is an ample army of ginko trees. Why, I have no reason, but am trying to find out. These trees are wonderful to see during fall, they turn to a bright yellow that just stands out and makes a drive on Sunday more interesting. The picture to the left is some of the biggest ginko trees that I have ever seen. According to the plaque these are over 300 years old if my memory serves me correct. If you can remember or if you know post a comment please.
