Back to the homeland.

Long time no blog!
I haven't had much time, energy, or excitement in my life to blog about,
BUT
I did get to go to Korea with my family for about a week and a half earlier this month.

My mom and I at the airport.

Doing the captain at Samyook...is that wrong?

My dad and his brother.

My brother and I with our mom's friends daughter.



It was the aroma of the baking bread that made us try this place, and it was so so SO good!
.
I got to see one of my good friends in Korea. It was good catching up.

As you can see, I didn't take too many pictures on this trip, but here are some things that I enjoyed doing in Korea:

Food and drinks.
Seeing Eun-ae.
Seeing family.
Getting my hair done, although I paid $200 for a manicure...what exactly is a manicure?
Eating as late as I want.
Running into Pat and Kenny in Myungdong...what a small world!
Getting an hour foot massage for $20. Believe me, after walking all day long, it's heaven.
OH...my favorite, JJIM JIL BANG. I went almost every day.
Rotiboy.
Shopping
.
.
Things I did NOT enjoy:
.
Rude people.
Pushy people.
Feeling fat amongst anorexic pale faced girls.
Smog.
The small of cigarettes.
The flight to and fro.
Working the day after I return back home.

Hmm...I wonder when my next vacation is...

Lucky! Looks like you had a blast! If your thin self felt fat in Korea, I'm never going till I drop 20 lbs.
