Pepper



Well there is lots of walkways in Korea.  And we have to wake up really early to go to school, we go to Korean school.

We walk to school everyday and today there was a big holiday and tomorrow is a big holiday too, and Chusuek.
Chusuek is a type of year, and every body doesn't have work or anything for 3 days.  Chuesuk is like a Thanksgiving day.  It is really fun.  Do you know what we are going to do?  We are going to go to...what is it called mom?  We are going to Ulsan on a train ride.  Last time we went on a bus, but it was too hard, last time we had to take 3 buses, it was really hard with me, sedona, wheeler and all our stuff, so this time we are taking a train instead.

We are meeting dad's friend over there, he was a missionary friend of dads and he lost track of him, but then a member of our church told dad about him and dad was like "NO WAY!"  Now it is the second time we are going to go visit him-and this time we are going for Chusuek! YAH!

Aunt Marinda and Uncle Steve are coming over.  They ARE coming over.  I bet when they come over we are going to have alot of fun. and guess what we, my mom went out one day to look at an apartment, and they are going to live on the highest floor, they 16th floor.  (MOM says:  we are borrowing an empty apartment while they are visiting).  One time guess what? The elevator goes lower then the stairs.  and two people can live on the apartment roof. (mom: did you go up there?)  No, but I can just see it.

My mom can't download pictures, like on Sedona.  So I can tell you about some strollers, well one stroller.



We bought a stroller and the person we bought it forgot to tell us something!  They should us pictures of the stroller and that the handles were ripped up, but they didn't tell us that the #2 was braked.
We figured it out one day while Sedona was at school.  Now it is kind of crappy.  We don't use it as much now. 

(Mom says:  We bought a stroller from a person off the Korean Yard Sale (a facebook group) and it was is worse shape then I had thought when we got it.  It fold downs small and it nice that way.  but you have to push two buttons #1 and #2 to fold the stroller down, and #2 button broke about a month after we bought it--we could have bought a "cheaper brand", but new stroller for the same price--should have done that!
I haven't posted much because the computer continues to tick me off everytime I use it!  Sometimes it works great, but most of the time it is overly frustrating!) 


Food and Buddha



Sedona:  

Hi.  Its great in Korea.  There is always lots to explore and things to do, places to go, but my favorite part of Korea is having a different life. 

Korean food tastes weird.  Sometimes it is hard to eat Korean food.  My dad is fine with it, but I would much rather eat Aunt Pam's lovely dinners.  They taste delicious.  But as for Korean food, humm....I don't know. 

Two things I like and don't. 
1.  Holding Wheeler (he is sitting on my lap right now)

OK now for the real number 1. These are some of the foods I like:

1.   Dong Cassa: They are these meat patties that are pretty good and covered in seasoning.  Really good seasoning. 
2.  BimBimBop is really good too.  Its rice, mixed with other Korean vegetables. 
3. Ramen - speaking about ramen, my two favorite American foods were Ramen and Macaroni!  I miss macaroni and cheese.
4. Sea weed.
5. Meat: My dad cooks meat and we wash lettuce and we wrap the meat in lettuce, we also sometimes have rice with it and seaweed.  It is delicious!

Non-liking foods:

1. Kimchee: it is pretty much vegetables put together and have spicy sauce on it.
2. What else do I not like?  ummm...*big sigh* ...soup.  Mosts soups here I don't really like.  They have to much Korean taste.  I want American soup--come on guys!  Can't Koreans have a little bit of American soups, well I guess they do have a  few soups.
3.  I don't know. It is hard to think of a whole bunch of food.


Pizza:  Pretty much like American pizza.  I like potato pizza.  It is pizza with potatoes, not whole potatoes, but cut into slices, like when you cut an apple into slices, it is like that.  They put mushrooms on pizza, they also put corn on pizza, and they have pepperoni pizza, but it is more spicy, I guess some American pizza can be that spicy as well.   






BUDDHIST TEMPLE




Me and Dad went to a Buddhist Temple.  Pepper let me borrow her camera, cause she wasn't going to be with us.  As you can see behind that big statue thing I took the picture of-that looks like a big house-that's a part of a Buddhist Temple.  You have to take a --well--it is more of a road, but like a dirt road-wet dirt road. I kind of feel sorry for Buddha. WHy? I'm sorry for Buddha, because he was a good man and now Monks are like making money to see his temple, my dad kind of thought the same thing, I guess.

Things I know about Buddha
1.  I know that he was a great man.
2.  He taught people about meditation.

As you can see in this picture, he is meditating. 
That is Buddha as well. 
Anut mirinda and Uncl steve is comeing to kreoa!(thaer going to the buddhaist templ whith us!)
Sedona wrote the above sentence all by herself while I changed a diaper.



MOMS SAYS
Ok my patience is to thin to continue right now-The computer is acting up, not the kids (well Wheeler is, but what is new!)
