Pictures!

Okay! For all you picture lovers out there, this post is for you! I broke out the camera the other day and took some pictures from around our apartment. The first picture here is actually from inside out apartment looking out at an angle (directly in front of us is another apartment building). Pretty isn't it? It kind of reminds me of Washington State....only think Washington humidity and have it be between 90-100 degrees everyday!
Behind our apartment building is a fabulous walking trail I'm not sure how far it goes, but it's really well maintained...very beautiful! Speaking of walking, since I've been doing a lot of it, I have to say Kudos to the Koreans for paving their sidewalks with that cool bouncy material that you usually see on a running track! It's so much easier on the feet! Anyway....this is also a picture of our actual apartment building! It's about 15 floors high (we're on the 5th floor), our apartment is the width of this building and 1/4 the length of it (does that make any sense?)...so it's a pretty good size as far as apartments go. There are about 10 of these high-rises total in our apartment complex.
And here is a cute picture of Kami...we're walking back from one of the parks in the apartment complex. I cannot even begin to count the number of people who have stopped us on the street to admire Kamden! In Korean culture babies are considered "everyone's treasure" to cherish, so it is not uncommon when we are stopped, that Kami is kissed, picked up, or patted. I hear blondes and red-heads are especially popular. Anyway, today was actually a beautiful day so Kami and I decided to take a walk down to a cute little baby shop not too far from our house. Only to remember when we got there and saw that it was closed that today is a Korean holiday! Oh well. It was a nice walk anyway! Later this afternoon we went down to the park and met a really, really nice family. They've got two little boys, one is about 2 years old, the other is only 2 months. The dad spoke English really well, and I have a feeling that the mom understood it more than she spoke...or maybe she wasn't comfortable speaking it. Speaking of trying to get comfortable speaking another language...I thought I'd try my hand in saying "Thank you" to the woman at the fruit stand today....I ended up saying, "Kamsah Hasayo", which is a mixture of "Thank you" and "Good afternoon" I'm such an idiot! Time for me to take a Korean language class!!!
