We are here

Hello again!

Re-visiting the blogging thing per the requests of our friends and family ;D

A little catch-up... 

We set out on our journey October 5th, prepared for 2 years in Korea!  I'd say the hardest part to it all has been just getting here.  Making the arrangements to keep our little family together the whole time and the long flight are the things that wore on us the most.  We worried about our doggies not being OK'd for travel or how B would do on the 14+ hr flight.  After our eventful trip here (I don't need to go into detail about that again lol)...turns out we love it here.  Well, ok...we haven't even been here 2 weeks so "love" is hard to say, but we've definitely enjoyed ourselves so far.  It has taken some getting used to that you can't just up and go to Target, hobby stores or even Walmart whenever you please, but there are definitely other shopping experiences we enjoy.  Like the little villes and strips on the street.  You can find some interesting things.  

Also, places like Lotte Mart can give you an all day adventure of shopping in its 3 stories of shopping stores (including awesome dollar stores...or 1000 won shops) that are so much better than our dollar stores in the states!

They have escalators there that you can drive your shopping cart right on to and they lock in place.

I'm so fascinated by all that I see that I often forget to take out my camera.  I'm going to try to document more though!

We are trying to take in the language as much as possible.  Thank google for Google Translate App lol!  We are going to get Rosetta Stone software too :)  For now, my goal is 2 words a week and to USE those words.  Our first words have been "Anyeonghaseayo"...which is simply "hello" lol and "Gamsahabnida", which means "thank you".  The words are pretty easy to pronounce b/c they are spelled exactly how they sound but it's just hard to remember them b/c they are soooo long lol.  

All for now :)
