Back to the Same Same

Well, we had a lovely visit with Maria's Mom. We went up to Seoul for the second weekend Betty was in town and stayed a this nice traditional Korean bed and breakfast. Well, we didn't get to much of a breakfast, just toast and actually we did not sleep on a bed either, on a mat on the floor, but you get my drift. We stayed in a very artsy district of Seoul, call Inchidong. So the ladies were able to shop until they dropped but I hung in there like a champ. In Inchidong there are a few palaces around from the Choson Dynasty. They were very cool and we went to one that had a secret garden. It was a nice break from the concrete and asphalt. Spring has sprung here and the flowers are a nice change from gray. It was nice to get out of Gwangju for the weekend, but we headed back Monday morning and right into work, not missing a beat. My favorite expression in Korea is Same Same. It works on so many different levels, so watch out I am bringing it back with me. Well better get back to it. Hope you have a wonderful day and don't forget to stop and smell the flowers!
