so i really like dividing my blogs up if you haven't noticed. hopefully that makes it easier to read. i dont know. :) so after church bae jee and sylvia decided to take me "eye shopping." we jumped on the subway and went well, i'm not sure where, i think hoehyeon. there we went to the little tourist shops and she bought me a door ornament. its a bead on a beaded strand. i really like it, and my explanation is giving it no justice. sorry! we walked around and it was great and crowded. bae jee took my hand and we walked around all day sometimes feeling like a small child, sometimes just a good korean friend. ;)
then they took me to deoksugung palace where they have a changing of the guard ceremony. then we walked around and it was so nice! the weather was great. then we got coffee and donuts from dunkin donuts. :) and i also found the salvation army building. that was cool. we walked to a different area of shopping.
then we ate at outback steakhouse. hahahahahaha, i tell ya, i am seriously living it up here. so we each ordered something different and shared plates. it was nice. i really like it. poor bae jee had a big TOEFL test yesterday because she wants to be an english teacher and she also wants to do an foreign exchange student program. then today she had to translate between her mother and me and just talk to me. haha so i'm sure she is quite tired now. luckily her phone has some type of translation program on it so she used that alot. originally i thought she was texting people all the time but then i realized she was looking up words. :) she said that i am the first foreigner she has ever talked to and her friends want to meet me too. so i think we have a long friendship ahead. :) i would like to meet her friends i think that would be fun!
apparently we figured that she is 22 and born in 1987 but i am born in 1985 so i must be 25? wow. i didn't think i would be that old. oh well. and she has a twin brother who is doing his army service right now. so we had a great time today and she is a lot of fun to hang out with.
i just want to say how great God is and how blessed i have been to have such a great director and great connections since being over here. The Lord is amazing and i am so thankful each and everyday! :)
until next time.

The part that I find amazing, is that even after all the Americans that have come through this program, you are still meeting people for the first time. Its not like they have done this 100 times before and are just going through the motions with you.
