Jetlag is starting to catch up with us, so instead of blogging, we've been sleeping. Day 2 in Korea was very rainy and cold. We had lunch at an east meets west restaurant called the Urban Sheriff. All of the waiters wore jean shirts with cowboy hats and gold stars. We had to wonder if that's what they think sheriffs really look like in the States. That evening we went on a food tour with our new friends and got to try some wonderful and some interesting, traditional Korean dishes. We got to try some rice flour treats as well as some traditional rolls and dumplings! The dumplings were so good. One of our favorite foods was a fried donut filled with cinnamon goodness. Amanda was brave and tried blood sausage. It was definitely not her favorite and she won't be eating it ever again. We ended the night at a great BBQ.
Our tour guide was amazing. He is an adult adoptee and who now lives in Korea. He owns O'ngo Food Commnunications and writes for several food publications. He's also met Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods! He had a lot of great insight into Korean culture and many adoptees now living in Korea. He recently opened a pizza restaurant so we will all be returning there tomorrow for dinner to celebrate our court hearings being completed!
Day 3 was a sightseeing day. We visited some of the traditional markets like Namdaemun. We also visited the National Museum of Korea, which is enormous. We enjoyed seeing Seoul Tower and visiting some of the palaces. Needless to say, Seoul is a huge city with so much to do. Hopefully, we'll get to do a bit more sightseeing before we leave and as long as the weather cooperates.
We will write again a about our second meeting with Bennett and our lunch with the president of ESWS.
Until then, here are some pics from our good tour!
Here are some photos from sightseeing too!
This photo is for my dad! Got to love the shooting range add!
