Matthew and I will be heading to Seoul, Korea for a long weekend. Sadly, Tony won't be able to join us since he's busy slaving away at the office in the U.S. This is probably our last opportunity to do any last minute trips in Asia before we start the packing process and head home. Though Tony can't be there with us, Andrea and Irene will be going. Anne couldn't make it this time since she's going to India to attend a wedding. Hey, I even offered to go to the wedding, but was politely declined. Well, at least I tried. I'll get to India one of these days. Matthew will have some company on this trip since Irene is bringing her daughter Zahra along. We'll be heading out first thing Friday morning and will be returning late Sunday night. We'll have to hit the ground running when we arrive since we have a lot of territory to cover. On the list of places to see include the Downtown area, the Demilitarized Zone (across from North Korea), Korean Folk Village, Ceramic Village, Deoksugung Palace and Gyeongbokgung Palace.
In anticipation of this trip, I've been busy teaching myself Korean. OK- let me clarify. I've been busy learning the key words for food and beverages. Those who know me, know that food words are very near and dear to me. I knew the basic words like kimchi, bulgolgi and bibimbap. Now, I've increased my vocabulary to include a wide range of drinks and food items. That's progress! Hey, we may not be able to get around very far, but at least we won't go hungry!
So, until then.....tto mannayo. Which means, see you later!
