10 More Days!

Yup, in 10 days (9 not counting today, and since today will be over in 95 min I can say 9!) I will be on a plane celebrating my vacation! WOOHOO! I shall not shirk my blogging duties though. I actually think I am starting to get good at this... it only took me one year! Well I have another year abroad to post even better stuff, so next year will be a much better read.

Today I fell on some stairs and banged my ankle bone on the edge of the cement stairs really hard, so I am walking funny. But I took some aspirin and I have ice on it now so I think I can do yoga tomorrow. If I get any cool black and blue marks I will post them, but if not it will just be another lame injury that I can not show off... only talk about... which is not as much fun as showing off wounds!

Here is a takeout box from Saboten. If they have one of these in your neighborhood you should go. They make amazing (according to John) fried pork cutlet filled with mozzarella. I get a kimchi udon soup... which has kimchi (fermented, spicy cabbage) and really thick Japanese noodles in some kind of broth ... I think its fish broth. But in this box is some smaller boxes... and I lost the pic of the inside :( but its all separated out and really cute. Since John loves this place so much I'm sure we will get it again so I will take another picture.

One of my sweet sweet students brought this for me. Actually, her mom made it. Its a little snack, Korean style. On the top you see hobak sandwiches. Hobak is a type of pumpkin, they call it sweet pumpkin and its pretty popular here. Its really good... its a small green, bumpy pumpkin and its bright orange inside, so its a little different than our pumpkin. My student's mom spread the mashed hobak on the bread, rolled it up and cut it into bit size pieces. And on the bottom is dduck-go-chi ... I think I spelled it wrong. It stands for "rice cake on a stick." Rice cake is made from gelatinous rice and its REALLY chewy. These rice cakes are on a stick and covered in a sticky sweet-spicy sauce and fried. They were a little too chewy, but the sauce was awesome.


So, I had this for breakfast one day at my desk, and in true Korean style I took a picture of it (on my desk at work.) Korean people love taking pictures of their meals... it happens all the time at the restaurant. Well, my breakfast consisted of a hard boiled egg, a banana, three Hobnobs and a fiber drink (almost 3 grams in that little bottle) No reason except that I am trying to avoid Burger King and McDonald's... I don't drink milk, so cereal isn't an option... so I have to be creative... I don't have a Korean house wife, so there is no one too cook me rice and soup in the morning... so I can't eat Korean style either... I'm getting really sick of bananas.


This is a really cute notebook I bought. It says "ticket journal" on the front. It has 80 pages on the inside to load with tickets from every function you go to. I love saving tickets, and now I have a nice place to put them.


Here is the inside. You tape in your ticket, fill out some info and write your memories. I like this a lot. It only cost $2, so if anyone wants one let me know and I will bring it back to you. Well, I am laying in bed right now cause of my leg, and typing isn't very comfortable so I am gunna chill now. Night night. See ya all soon!!
