Tanhyeon Elementary School had their yearly Christmas performance. Grades from K to 6th grade performed. The parents came to watch their children dance, act, and play an instrument. The kids did a wonderful job. Bravo!

Gyeongbokgung Palace - 11.30.08

As always we love starting up our day by fueling ourselves with delicious food.. here we are eating at a Japanese restaurant.. yup, that's right japanese food in korea =) Yummy cutlet with rice, miso soup, salad and no dish is complete without kim chi.


Here Paolo found some friends..hehe Korea's version of Febreeze


This whole street was food heaven.. every place was a restaurant.. so hard to pick


That's right Baskin Robbins.. oh my they had a 12 scoop of different flavored ice cream and a chocolate fondue to dip in for just W12,000 convert that to US dollars, that's only $8.. maybe we'll get that later when it's warmer here..



We were passing this coffee shop called A Twosome Place.. The name we just thought was funny.. (think about it)



The subway system here is amazing. From early morning to late at night, you don't have that fear that someone will attack you. Besides that it is amazingly clean.. I love cleanliness =*)


Without Paolo, I swear I'd get so lost and probably end up in North Korea =O.. But I'm learning and it's so much fun getting lost.. you find places you never were looking for.



It took Paolo a good 3 minutes to figure we were about to take the wrong train.



At last, we arrived at our destination, my palace.




A girl can dream that this was her palace and had guards at her doors to protect her =)





Silly hubby







Only Paolo would wear a Filipino shirt to showoff that he's cheap =p


All I could think was that this place would be so awesome for an engagement shoot or a wedding, but I don't think my clients would go all this way..


America's next Big Booty model








Zodiac Signs




Paolo is a snake and I am a horse.. not literally =p


He fits in with Koreans here, there is always someone who approaches him. With me I just get people who stare..





Relaxing in my hut






On our way to the museum to learn about the Korean culture and history









Musical instruments
























I found cameras made in 1907.. thank goodness for digital =)
