A Day of Exploring

Hello Everyone!!!

Today was the day of walking.  We walked all over the place and are exhausted.  Plus, it is sooo humid here.  I think the temperature would be great except for the humidity.  We were sweating like crazy.  Although, I hear you Oklahoman's are doing some sweating of your own with 100+ degree weather.  We feel for you.  

We started our morning by walking down to Eastern Social Welfare Services.  We wanted to see where we would be going on Tuesday.  It's about a 10 minute walk from our hotel.  Ours was a little bit longer since we couldn't find it.  Thankfully the Korean people are more than willing to help you out.  However, there is a huge language barrier.  HUGE!  Also, on our walk back from Eastern, we saw a Navigator's sign on a door.  Being the adventurous people we are, we went in to check it out.  I guess the staff were having their weekly meeting and so we got to talk to them about being in the Navigator's in college.  They were very nice and gave us some juice of some sort.  We walked around for a while, going into a shop or two to check stuff out.  Then it was lunch time.  We have only eaten American food since being here.  I'm scared to try Korean food but we are supposed to go eat Korean with Aaron's sales rep tomorrow.  We have eaten Papa Johns' Pizza, TGI Friday's and Pizza Hut.  I'm so glad they have American food.  After lunch we went on the subway for the first time.  It was a little confusing at first but with some help from a nice Korean man, we finally figured it out.  We went to the biggest book store I've ever seen and the busiest.  There were books and people everywhere.  The book store was a bit overwhelming.  In the children's section, you couldn't even walk because of all the people.  We exited there and went to a Palace.  And after all that I was so hot and exhausted that I just needed to come back to the hotel to rest and cool down.  It was an adventurous day for us.  We will see what tomorrow holds for us.  Just 2 more days to meet our little Pryce.  Oh my goodness.  Thanks for the prayers!  Keep them coming!!!

We are wearing our Oklahoma shirts today and there were some American's at the palace that noticed our shirts.  They knew the OKC Thunder and the OSU Cowboys.  It was nice to hear some familiar words.
