Korea Day 2

Almost every bus has curtains, complete with a valance in the front.

Yesterday was day number 2 in Korea. We had been staying in a hotel in Seoul for a couple of days. Chris was thinking I'd be a bit jet-lagged and would like to sleep in comfort. More on that later. He was so right. After our sightseeing to the Korean Museum, we went back to our room and I slept from 1 until 7 at night. He woke me to eat dinner, then I returned to bed from 7:30 until 3:30. I called and spoke to our kiddos who are doing very well and having a great time. I found myself lying in bed until 5:30, got up, showered and went to the gym so Chris could sleep awhile. It was an early day to say the least. We caught the bus back to Chris' apartment. It is nice, but I swear he lives in the ghetto. He told me we'd go to lunch. I was preparing for a journey in the car, only to be lead to the back of his building, down a little alley, down some steps and onto the street. I wasn't prepared for that experience. We had some awesome thai food and shopped a bit. I found two purses--a Coach and Burberry. It was delightful! I also bought a couple of Korean pictures made from rice paper. They are quite cute. We bummed around on base a bit, I met some of his co-workers and we stopped in at the Child Development Center in preparation for my possible move. It seems our kids have a pretty strong chance of getting into Preschool/Daycare should I make the move. THat was reassuring as Claire was on the list in MA since she was born and we still haven't gotten the call. The waiting list is that long. Ridiculous! We rounded out our day with a bit of house hunting. We found a brand new, single family home with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms that will be perfect. It is within our housing allowance which is even better. So, should I get this freakin job that I am dying to find out about, we should be all set in terms of necessities over here. Dinner was at mexican place. Margaritas were good, otherwise, nothing great. Definitely not Xtapa. I will so miss Xtapa if I move. sniffle, sniffle.
