after the climb (the rest of my Seoul saturday)


sunday (11/11) in Korea is "pepero day", a holiday devoted entirely to pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate (i am posing as i proudly devour one of many peperos).
for lunch, hannah worked her magic and got her rich aunt who lives in seoul to take us to fabulous korean restaurant. the meal had about eighty courses. the aunt was thrilled that i "ate korean food so well" (see photo of food dishes).
then we met with a friend of a friend who is teaching english in seoul and explored the city together (note photo of me and new friend, courtney on enlarged magazine covers).
we explored new territory and had some great finds. observe the Starbucks sign that becomes all the funnier when you read korean letters (literally the sign says "sa-tah-bug-sa kuh-pee"...say it a few times, you'll hear it soon).
Oh the joys of Korea.
