As you can imagine, I took a lot of picture of my wonderful trip with Mom when she came to visit in September. This will be a picture blog to describe our trip together, starting with the first half in Korea - Busan and Seoul!
Day 1
License plate 2089
Exploring my neighbourhood the first night after arriving
Day 2
Morning walk - Taejongdae Park
Yum picnic
Mom visiting my last two classes - All of my students reactions were priceless. Some of them thought she was my sister and my co-workers were all amazed at how young she looks. Most of the students dropped their mouths when they saw her and said "huhhh your Mother??!?!?!?"
Charlie being silly
My director's husband treated us to a steak and buffet dinner with my co-workers! They also gave Mom a fan and red ginseng as a welcome present. It was very nice surprise for both of us!
Day 3

Jigalchi Fish Market
Nampo-dong Markets
Where's waldo?
Mom's favourite meal (one of mine too), we had it twice!
