Quite behind in blogging...

I have many pictures to post still, so I'm quite behind. Before posting up pictures of Preston's visit, I'll post the earlier ones first to keep everything in chronological order. So more on Preston's visit later, but for now.... more adventures... along with more food pics.

Canned fruits over waffles... Not so great.... But still.. a dessert.

I got my hair finally permed! It doesn't look this wavy anymore... Well, it does when it's wet.


October 26, 2008Nathan and his parents for his daddy's 70th birthday celebration!!! In Korean tradition, all the family gathers together for the 100th day celebration, 1 year, 60th year, 70th year.. etc. of a person's life. Soooo~ I got to meet basically the majority of Nate's family. :) After some speech by Nate's uncle (I couldn't understand...) the 40 of us all ate at the buffet located inside Lotte Hotel... For each person, it's like $65US. I ate very well this day...

My first plate of deliciousness.

2nd plate of deliciousness.

3rd plate of deliciousness.

4th platter of deliciousness.

One of the many sections of the buffet.. Everything was very appetizing!
After the buffet, the cousins all went to Lotte world while the parents went to sing at a noribang.

Lotte World is almost a Disneyland rip off. Look at the pretty Magic Castle...~ The characters don't resemble Micky and Minnie, though... Instead, it's a brown raccoon boy and girl..

<3>

Minnie's bow? I mean.. Girl raccoon's bow...

Miffy!
