More Spring Fun

We, along with the Sustads, scooted into Seoul (across the Han river) for the first time this past weekend. To get across the river you have to travel on highways and bridges that have pictures of scooters with a big red X'es through the picture. Oops! But we made it to our destination: Namsan Mountain to check out the cherry blossoms. Then we ate dinner at our favorite Indian food restaurant. The adventures continued when Scot and Kim's scooter broke down in the middle of Seoul. So, the scoot was left there, they took the bus home and met us back at our apartment.
Not a day goes by with out adventure here!

Spring Is Here

Scooter Breakdown

scot, kim, reub and i were off on a little day trip to seoul to see some cherry blossoms ... when we had a little breakdown of the scoot. reuben and i were up the highway about a km and realized scot and kim weren't behind us anymore .... so driving the opposit way on the highway we made it back to them.
luckily scot had a 6 foot chain in his bucket seat - just long enough for a pull. we towed them to the next exit, which just happend to be near costco. so to costco we went, did some shopping eating. the scoot worked fine on the way home. it turns out they have an overheating problem. we will try again next weekend.

some updated pictures of our home

bye bye Koetje

Here is a picture from Nathen Koetje's first night in Korea. This year went too fast with him. We are so happy he came, life if Korea was so much better with him. And the last picture here is of one of his last nights in Korea. We will really miss you, especially our weekly sleepovers. Miss you already bud!

bye bye DAVEY

davey, this is one guy we will really miss. he was the first foreign face we saw in korea (ran into him our first night here)... he took us around, showed us the ropes and taught us what we needed to know as newbees. the king of sanbon will be missed!

BHCS Sports Day

Reuben and the Student's Council organized a sports day for the school this past week. We played basketball, dodgeball, and bucket ball.

we also planned some mission relays for the teams. they had to do things like the crab walk, piggyback, sink a basket and the wheelbarrow race. The kids really enjoyed the time outside playing with eachother and the teachers.

piggy back relay... you can do it ju ho! go team yellow!

some of the jr and sr. high school girls posing for a picture. go team black!

we ended the day with some donuts and juice. juan and haejin are really enjoying the snack.

Anyang Soccer Team

Reuben started playing in a foreigner league here. He is excited about being able to play sports again, after a long long rehab with his knee. The season has just begun... so you know what i'm going to be doing sunday afternoons ALL spring. Reuben has an amazing powerhouse throw-in to offer his team. That's my boy!

OPPS!

Today I was feeling a little bored with my hair so tried something new. Velcro curlers. I did some damage to my hair when a few of them took a longer to get out then I wanted. And as you can see I used curlers that were way too small. And to make matters a little worse we were late to meet friends, so all i could do was throw on a hat. I hid the bangs part (also known as a birds nest) under the hat and we were off. Reuben and Koetke sure had a good laugh about it.

It's been awhile, hey?

And look what I spotted here... when was the last time you saw overalls, on a man, and with one strap off. It's been awhile hey?

Korean Pro B-Ball

Our friend Song Bae took us out to a basketball game this afternoon. Sk telecome against Dae Gu Warriors. The staduim was full of fans from both sides. We were sitting in the SK section, so we cheered for them.

Here are the guys, Tae Jeun, Frank and Song Bae (from left to right)


The cheering squad all the way up in the stands ... SK clap clap clap, SK clap clap clap...

And then we went out for some jeum-dak (korean style chicken stirfry) with song bae and his brother. Song bae leaves for PEI, Canada this week to study English for a year. We hope to see him in Canada some day.
