First Month





We have been in Korea for almost 6 weeks! The time is going quickly. We are all very busy. Eric has been working 13-14 hours a day (6 days a week) - going in at 2am. Brooke just started graduate school and the kids have been taking golf lessons, soccer just started and we are only days away from school starting.
We have tried to make the most of our time before the school season is fully underway. Here are some pictures of a few of the things we've been doing:


Here we are at our first Korean restaurant, Sam Il Bulgogi House. It is a Korean steak house (they also have chicken and pork). They cook the meal right at the table. First they bring out about 8 different appetizer/side-dishes. We had kimshi, seaweed salad, pickled turnips, potato slalad, nuts in a honey sauce, fried tofu and some we couldn't identify. Luckily there was an American at the restaurant and he told us what to expect and how to order. After the appetizers, they bring a bucket of coals and place them in a hole in the center of the table. Then they place what looks like a fancy hubcap over the coals and start cooking the meat. When the meat is done they cut it into small pieces and you wrap it in lettuce leaves with rice and some black bean sauce. It is really good.
