Camaraderie

While running today I came up to a street light.  Waiting for signal to turn to "walk" and cross the road, two other souls joined me in the wait.  They were on the opposite side of the road.  We were all white people (something that is super rare in Daegu). One of the guys pumped his fists in the air, held them in a "V" shape and screamed to me through the traffic, "Hey, Look! There are 3 of us! I've never seen so many in one spot before!" 

It was a good feeling of camaraderie.  The light changed, we passed one another wishing 'happy days' and went about our own workouts!  

Life is so much fun!

Daily Routine

If you haven't noticed thus far...we really enjoy eating.  I got to try a new potential favorite last week while celebrating a friend's birthday!  Alicia is another Kindergarten teacher and makes me laugh daily.  We went out for what's pronounced "Duck galbi"...it's basically chicken cut up in a big pot with cabbage and potatoes.  They put 'red sauce' on it that makes it nice and spicy!  YUM! Naturally, the best part about trying new foods is the friends you share it with!

Our pot of goodness! 



And what eating festivity stops with just the entree? You might be surprised to learn how crazy in love Koreans are with waffles!  We ventured to a local favorite (yes, in walking distance of my house which is not so great for my love handles) to get ourselves a few dessert samples...

Humongous waffles with a side of fruit including a tomato and ice cream... 



Finally, this was the sign posted all over the walls.  Just in case we needed reminding.... 



Until the next food extravaganza ....
