DAY OFF!!!



In the picture: Me, my co-teachers Grace and Kate, and the P.E. teacher at my school (sorry I can't say his Korean name much less spell it).

To start off our entertaining went well. It was nothing formal we just had some drinks and some snacks. It did not turn into a huge party, just a small gathering. It was good company with nice conversation. The most notable part of the Friday get together was when my co-teachers saw our wedding pictures and they said I look like Brad Pitt. I was not surprised by the compliment because I often see the resemblance everyday in the mirror.
So this past Wednesday Latanya and I had the day off. We decided to go into Seoul and check out one of the many markets. We went to the Namdaemun Market. It's a place full of people buying and selling just about anything. From food to clothes to jewelry and so on. We walked around for a few hours and stumbled upon a different shopping area. Latanya saw a bag from Forever 21 and asked where the store was. They told us where and she ran straight towards it. Not only does LT love this store but I was excited because they have a men's line here in Korea. Once we got there we tried to remind ourselves not to go crazy and buy out the store. They had a lot of great clothes and Latanya was so excited. I am not going to lie I was too. After we looked around the store for awhile and LT tried on some clothes we left and only bought a pair of sun glasses. We were so good.
We continued to walk around the area and found so many shops. We also saw a few American restaurants. There was a Fridays, two Outbacks and a CPK. The two Outbacks were seriously not but twenty yards from each other. We just started laughing. We can't get away. Well we decided to eat at California Pizza Kitchen and were a little reluctant because nothing taste the same as back home. We order our usual and were delighted to find out that it was delicious. After dinner we headed back home and called it a day. We sure did a lot of walking. It was all worth it though. We had a nice day trip and were ready to finish the short week.
