Things you say in Seoul

So there are things you really only say in Seoul. These have become our catchphrases. The first one would be "That lady just ran into my crackers". That happened on the subway.

The second one would be "We left the rice cooker at the church!"

Our friend Eddy graciously found us a rice cooker from a coworker that was leaving to go home. We've been wanting a rice cooker, but didn't want to spend the money quite yet, and this one was free! So Eddy put it in a plastic bag and lugged it all the way from his residence (which is a long bus ride and subway ride) to church. He handed it over and we were in charge of it for the rest of the day. Stephanie and I carried that rice cooker from the church chapel down to fellowship. After fellowship we killed some time with friends, walking around Myeongdong, and going to a coffee shop. We then carried the rice cooker back into the main sanctuary where we watched a performance of Handel's Messiah in Korean (it was pretty awesome). We went back down to the same place for fellowship, left, and were about a block away from the church when we realized "We left the rice cooker at the church!"

So we walked quickly back to the main sanctuary. Stephanie couldn't find it, and while the last of the people were filing out I put on my best distressed face. I'll admit, I tried to make it dramatic so someone would offer to help us. It worked! A guy came over to ask if we needed help, and we had to ashamedly, and quite humorously tell him that we left a rice cooker in the pews. That's a first.

To make a long story short, we found the rice cooker. One of his friends had picked it up and taken it to a sunday school room. So now we have a rice cooker. phew!

Here are some cool people from 20s group. It was Jonathan's last day, which is sad. He is flying home today.


Christmas is in full swing here!

Me and Erin want to visit Seoul. In fact, I even looked into travel arrangements. Until I saw the cost for flights...where are you, freaking Pluto?

Meh.

Your pictures will have to suffice.
