So today turned out different than I had planned it to. I was just going to go to the grocery store and buy some food and clean around the house (including laundry). However, on my way to the grocery store (which it turns out there is one right around the corner from my house and I was going to the one about a mile away: gah to being new and not knowing things!) I ran into a student. She was with her daughter and she invited me out for lunch. Well since it is still Chuseok, most food places are closed, so she took me to her house and prepared food for me. It was so sweet of her and her family for having me over. The food was so good too. Because lord knows I do not cook, so any homemade food is appreciated! We then went with her daughter to get coffee. It was a lot of fun and I made a new friend in the daughter. She said that she will show me around Seoul when I come up to visit, which is awesome because I can totally see myself getting lost. (I still have no idea which way is North, which I need to know in order to not feel lost or be able to place myself in a place and where I need to go.)
It is nice to finally be getting the hang of somethings around here and finding new things out that I had no idea about. I appreciated the home-cooked meal and the wonderful environment that her family brought. More and more Korea and the people are amazing me. They are nice, helpful, and welcoming. The more I think about it, the more I realize that this was a good life choice!!!
