In September, we spent the beginning of the month re-adjusting to school life and officially beginning our second year in Korea.
1. Teaching at the Jeonpo Welfare Center. These kids are always so happy and give their best effort in class. I love teaching them. 2. Chuseok gift sets. Korea's equivalent of Thanksgiving is Chuseok. For gifts, they give presents like spam or canned tuna. 3. Soul Food. I was having a bad day and Markus prepared a delicious dinner of BBQ ribs, and corn bread. I'm a lucky girl. 4. Reunited. Markus and I were finally able to meet with our original little brother, Dae-hwannie.
5. Brainstorming. Markus and I are currently working on a children's book and we spend many nights at cafes brainstorming. Although, most of the time it's Markus creating beautiful sketches and me being amazed. 6. My old college roommate, Angela, visited Korea, but we were unable to meet. Although, she was still able to send me some goodies from home via her cousin. Oh how I've missed the yummy taste of Aunt Jemima's. 7. New Sunday Tradition. Markus and I started a Sunday tradition of pancakes and Are You Afraid of the Dark? How awesome is that? 8. New shoes. While in the UK, I was finally able to find shoes that fit me and these ones were adorable. So happy to finally buy a new pair of shoes!
Sometimes, I don't have a chance to whip out the DSLR and take a photo. Thank goodness my iPod is always easily accessible. I have quite a collection of photos on Instagram and thought that it would be nice to share some of the highlights from each month. I didn't want to start with the beginning of this year, that would be ridiculous. So, I decided August would be the best place to start, especially since it was the month that we went to the UK.
1. Markus and I on our way to England. That day we took seven different modes of transportation and recapped all seven in a series of photos. This was the second photo and when we still looked refreshed and excited. 2. Our first meal in England with James and Ari was oatcakes. They were freaking delicious, a cross between a pancake and a crepe. We stuffed them full of bangers and bacon. 3. Homemade syrup sponge pudding and custard and a beautiful English garden. It doesn't get more British than this. 4. Markus probably reading Game of Thrones on his Kindle in the English garden.
5. I found Anthropolgie in Edinburgh! I haven't been in one for an entire year. Of course, I wanted to buy everything but bought nothing. 6. The beautiful streets of Edinburgh. I could have walked those streets forever. 7. The Lake District was like being in a painting. It was unreal. 8. Being a true Muggle and hanging out at the Ministry of Magic at the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Follow me on Instagram.
