Vacation - July 22

For Kerri's first full day in Korea, we took her to work for our last day before the holiday. Amazingly, she came with us for the whole 10-7:30 day. The kids were excited to have a girl with "beautiful, yellow hair" who gave out Canadian stickers in their class.
After work, we took Kerri down to La Festa, the bar-restaurant-shopping area in Ilsan, for Kalbi and soju. It was a coincidence that we ran into Blaine, Jamie, and two other friends after the meal. We joined them for drinks and much, MUCH later after a bunch of soju and beer, we decided to go to a Norae-bong (karaoke room). I had sworn them off after our first unfortunate night in Korea, introducing ourselves to Matt, the Korean teachers, and Mrs Jang with our horrible singing.
But, this time, we went to a "classy" one with windows over looking La Festa from 5 floors up. My singing hasn't improved since that first night in Korea, but I definitely felt more comfortable singing around people I knew. Soju also helped.

Kalbi, Korean karaoke and Hite were good introductions to Korea for Kerri - and it was just the beginning.....
