Seasons passing in Seoul

An apology to those of you who have checked the blog in hopes of an update. We just never seem to have enough time in the day to post here. Thank the Lord, we have been sustained through the first half of our school year and made it to Christmas break! Here is a brief little update I am writing at 2 am trying to get a head start on the jet lag. We leave tomorrow morning for TN for the Christmas holiday.

We enjoyed a beautiful autumn here with lots of yellow ginkos.
Experienced a U.S. election from abroad and much preferred it this way

the changing of the guards in front of one of the royal palaces


Crab truck that has been hanging around near our apartments lately. There is also a
clementine truck, a dried squid truck, a roasting chickens truck and many more.

Cabbage piled in front of the grocery store in preparation for the rush of winter kimchi makers


Very tasty dumplings full of meat, kimchi, etc. Good food for the cold winter days.

Merry Christmas from a subway station in Seoul!
