it's been so warm here in korea that i keep on forgetting that it's october. i think hit about 75 degrees today which is amazing, but i'm ready for winter... hopefully, we'll get some sort of fall season here where the temperature is cool and crisp. it's by far my favorite season and i miss it.
i had such a great sunday this past weekend. i went to boondang to visit my cousin and aunt, who came up from pusan for the weekend. boondang is a fairly new suburb right outside of seoul, so everything there was clean and quiet. it was such a welcome change from the craziness of the city.
we went to my cousin, hyung-gi's, apartment where he and his wife started feeding me immediately. i was so happy because they served me all this fruit, which i've been craving for so long... i don't know why i just don't buy myself fruit here. there's a fruit stand about 5 minutes away from my dorm. anyway, we waited for my two other cousins to arrive with their husbands and their children, and then we all went to eat kalbi and daeji gogi at a resaurant.
after that, we all walked over to yool-dong park, which is one of the central parks in boondang. it was huge and the scenery was beautiful. it was surrounded by mountains and trees and there was a clear lake in the middle of the park. the kids all rented bicycles and rollarblades and we just spent the rest of the day there, hanging out and eating a lot of icecream and korean snacks. it was such a perfect day.
my cousins' children are all so adorable. there were six of them all together, and all but one of them were under the age of ten. i can't remember the last time i had the opportunity to play with a bunch of little kids. they all called me ee-moh or go-moh (both korean for aunt). and their grasp of the english language was amazing. by the end of the day, i just wanted to take them all home with me... so cute.
and not to completely change the subject, but the past two days, i've happened to glance at my watch at 4:46 exactly... aww...
