After being told it was easy to book tickets online for the BIG TRAIN to Daecheon Beach, we were hopeful that we would be able to handle this small task on our own. And we did–if you consider requiring the help of two different computers, several colleague attempts, and finally the Korean boss doing it for you over the phone on your last day before vacation “on your own.” Ah. So. We got the tickets and are heading down there on Friday afternoon, back late on Sunday. Late.
In other news, it is still bloody HOT here. We finally got bank accounts and check cards so let the spending spree begin! Or, OR…we could pay off a credit card or student loan (*yawn*). But I am trying to consider this expedition as an extended vacation. So that when we get home and end up not going anywhere for several years I can think back to the year-long vaykay I just returned from and just shut the hell up.
We have so far (hint) received two care packages. Thank you thank you thank you. Today, from Jen and Chris and Co. we got soup fixin’s, peppermint soap, Annie’s(!), and organic puddings for Jake’s b-day! So I’m off the hook which is AWESOME. Last month we got cookies and flips and paper towels from my Ma and Co. which was also AWESOME. Next month? Let’s see…we will need some rice milk to go with those cookies and hoppy beers to with the Mac and Cheese. Great. Thanks. Just kidding, people. We are eternally grateful for the gifts. We love and miss real cheese you very much!!
O.k. “pizza” just arrived with my husband Jakewhoisalmostthirty so I gotta go. Besos todo y’all.
p.s. the above picture is a tribute to something we could barely get ourselves to WALK by in America, let alone pause by for a photo op. Funny, our alliances are completely retarded (in the classic sense) in this country. As in, “Yea! A f*&#ing Popeyes!”
