Instead of having Mother and Father's day separate, South Koreans celebrate "Parent's Day" on the same day. On this day, kids give their parents little gifts, such as a pretty carnation to pin to their shirt. Also, families take trips to places like Hampyeong for the "Butterfly festival." A few friends (Jenni, Erin, Anne-Mari, Scott, Alva, Lauren, and Laurese) decided to join the fun in this small, but beautiful little town known for it's butterfly collection. Our faces were painted festively, lunch consisting of Ja Jang Mien (Chinese dish: Black noodles) was delicious, and all the butterfly exhibits were so pretty! It was such a great time... especially, feeling like a kid in the world of beautiful butterflies.
Not only a "couple set" (common in Korea), but a "family set!" Downtown you can find matching lingerie, sweat shirts, t-shirts, pants, ect. to match with your lover! hmmm... if that is what you are into! ????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEVE!!!
Steve and Aneta on Steve's birthday at our beloved "First Nepal" Indian food restaurant. The curry dishes send you through the ceiling from it's delightful flavors! Truly a great meal if we want variety and a break away from Korean food. There isn't much opportunity to eat anything other than Korean dishes, because all other restaurants and food from the stores are rare, not always delicious, and pretty pricey. This place is so nice and the workers there very hospitable. Plus, one of the TVs are always playing corny love songs bollywood style (reminds me of soft porn), which adds to the restaurant's playful character. :-)
