Food

Sept 17th
Last night we went out for dinner to a traditional Korean restaurant. We sat on the floor and each person got a dish of pumpkin soup and water kimchi. Then many dishes kept coming out and I tried almost everything. Lots of it was very spicy. I liked the mushroom dishes the best. There were many kinds of sauce, each dish had a different flavor. Then there was Korean rice which was purple!!! Very purple and it tasted just like white sticky rice. Cherry and I watched Charlie and the chocolate factory the new version and ate mango cakes, which arenÂ’t mango and arenÂ’t cakes. They were balls of bread with weird yellow stuff in the middleÂ… the b read was great but I wasnÂ’t a fan of the sort of sweet yellow part. Cherry wasnÂ’t sure what it was. We also had grapes but their grapes have a thick skin that you peel off first. When you pinch the bottom of the grape the skin slides right off. I slept well. My mattress is very firm which is perfect. For breakfast I had seaweed soup ( the broth tasted like miso soup) it was good but the seaweed was slimey :p. Also white rice and another kind of soup, a spinach dish (I like the spinach) and two other dishes that looked spicey. I spoke with Eunice about the schedule and she told me Hoyeonoyeun gets home between 2 and 3 depending if he wants to play outside and Cherry is home at 3. Cherry plays piano and cello!!! I will spend about 1.20 h with Cherry reading and such and before Cherry I will be with Hoyeon for anywhere between 30 mins and 2 h. Depending on his behavior, he is very disobedient. Supper is at about 520 and at 6pm Im going to yoga with Eunice (Cherry doesn't go on Mondays because she has her science tutor in). I think tomorrow Eunice and I are going to the bank so I can get money exchanged and maybe to look at cameras and pick up a few things. One thing I found weird was that Eunice and Cherry's father don't share a room. Eunice sleeps with Cherry and Hoyeun shares a room with the housekeeper (who often acts as a babysitter). Eunice does the finances at a hospital and she and her husband both leave at azbout 930 am. I definitely have to learn Korean. This will take up much of my free time until I have a decent grasp. Hopefully, we all know how I procrastinate.
Ciao for now.
