Happy Mother's Day, Moms!!!

Shawn's mom Linda with Things 1,2

Mel's mom: Caroline (sorry, I couldn't find any other digital pics!!!)

We hope all moms have a nice day today. We would have called, but we got home too late! Did you know that Koreans do not celebrate this holiday but instead they have both Children's Day and Parents' Day?

This weekend we went out to Carne Station with some fellow teachers. It is quickly becoming a favourite place of ours....all you can eat bbq and all you can drink whiskey, wine, beer, etc... You can only imagine the chaos that ensued....

So as we were stumbling towards the Luxury Noraebang (karaoke), a man was selling costume hats.....guess what happened?


On Saturday, we went shopping in Seoul and when we got home, we were forced into a make-shift Karaoke room on the first floor. A middle aged Korean woman sang us "traditional" songs by Neil Sekada and Patti Page. It is very awkward as she speaks little English and is very forceful. She gave us old food and our friend got some dead flowers. We are worried that she is becoming quite a problem since her performance room is right outside the elevator and she is forcing us to watch her perform any time we leave the apartment!

Today we went to Itaewon in Seoul to have dinner with Dayna and her parents. We ate at an Egyptian restaurant called "Ali Baba's". Dayna's parents treated us for the meal. Ahhhh, I miss parents!!!!! Last week they were in China, this week they are in Korea, and next week Thailand. They are sooooo lucky. We already miss Thailand!!!!!
