The days are filled with meetings, loads of information, lots of great, exotic foods, new friends and sweat.
One of our days activities included a short lesson on Korean money, numbers, greetings and thank yous and then they gave us each 100,000 won. ($100) and they took us to a store, gave us an interpreter and set us loose to "go shopping." We went to a 5 story store (the top two stories are for parking cars) called "Home Plus."
We needed towels.
And coffee (of course)
We had some fun shopping with new friends....
And of course we had to pay for all of this fun. The people here in Korea are very gracious and patient with me.....I have little to no understanding of the Korean language or the currency.
It was a great time of shopping! For more pictures please look at the photo albums posted on the side of the site titled "Arrival" and "Shopping".
Shop till you drop!

Greetings from the Gees -
It is so fun to see your photos and to experience a little bit of your adventure with you. I love the moving walk way in the store. We just wanted to tell you we are loving all of your journal entries and praying for you lots. Our e-mail is not working for some odd reason. We can receive mail but we are having trouble sending anything out. So please know that we are thinking of you lots. As soon as we get it fixed (next year. . .ha, ha) we will be sure to write. We love you guys!! Love, Kristi
