My last event in Seoul was hanging out with the Woo family. Jae-Hyun was in my class three years ago. If she were still in the USA she'd be going to middle school this year. They picked me up at the hotel and then we drove to their house which is right outside of Seoul which took about an hour. On the way we chatted and I got to see one last view of the gigantic city of Seoul. While in the USA the Woo's had a baby, Zack Hee-Jae. He is two years old and super stubborn like his big sister Jae-Hyun. I found it neat that his birthday was May 2nd in the USA but that was really May 1st in Korea. The time change is really big here! When we got their apartment
I was given a tour. It was similar to Rory's house. Jae-Hyun let me take a picture of her bedroom.
Here is the living room.
After my tour we walked to a local park. Zack didn't want to stay in the stroller
so Jae-Hyun and I walked ahead and she told me all about herself. She is in English Academy with another former student, Yeji, that I didn't get to see. I told her to tell her hello for me. While we were walking in the park Mrs. Woo was cooking dinner. She made an incredible feast
of many traditional Korean foods. Zack's favorite was the tofu in the soup. Jae-Hyun's favorite was the smoked salmon. I liked it all. While we were eating the neighbor rang the doorbell. She dropped off corn on the cob which Zack also loved. The Woo's told me it was common to share food with your neighbors and that they did this in Chapel Hill too. After dinner Jae-Hyun and I played games and swapped gifts. We played two Korean games, Jacks and this stick game. I was terrible at jacks.
I liked the stick game and some day would like to get a set. We also played Life and Uno Spin. It was great fun! For dessert we had delicious tea and fruit. I loved the golden kiwi! Since it was my last night I had to get back to the hotel to pack up. The Woo's all drove me home.
(Not the best photo.I need the Woo's to email me theirs.) It was a wonderful visit and an exceptionally nice way to end my trip to Seoul, South Korea!
