I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake.

Riding the bus is never so fun as when there are children on board.
We had so much fun with these little children.




See his cute little hands forming a heart. It is a modern Korean custom.





I took a bit to get this cutie warmed up, but he was a real showman. Koreans love to make the "V" with their fingers when their picture is taken.



Sometimes our missionaries ride their bikes to their appointments. ^_^


Elder Jho is very talented as you can see from his artwork.

What do you think? Parking for "Girls Only?"

Or maybe for ballerinas, or pink rockets, or pink bells?

My date with the tinman!

This is a common sight near Gwanghwamun which was the seat of power for hundreds of years and is still very near the Blue House. Also, it is about as downtown as you can get in Seoul. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we live just a few blocks away.

I couldn't remember if I had blogged this photo or not. I just think it is cool to see these rugged military men carrying pink bags. Korean men are NOT afraid of color.

This building is much higher than it looks, and I did not see a security rope on this man as he was lowering a cord or something to men below. YIKES! They must not be afraid of heights either.

I am pretty sure this shop is selling, hmmm, COcoa and sandWICHes thus the name Co+W!ch. I am not sure why the "i" is upside down, maybe to give it emphasis "!" Just after I shot this picture, the man inside came out and invited us in, but we couldn't stop.

This is Dad favorite shop. We still have not figured out exactly what they sell, food, exercise equipment, or china.

This is how one carries a watermelon in Korea. BTW, Dad "wrapped" his own!!!!!!!!!!

This might look a bit strange, to be cutting food with scissors, but if you think about it, it is a great idea. If you are having trouble eating your long noodles, just ask for a pair of scissors. Your waitress will have a pair handy for you to cut your noodles for easier eating.

Yes, Elder Jenson is cuttin the grilled pork for all to enjoy.

It is very delicious, by the way!

I love the sentiment on this door. I think I will eat a cupcake now, not alone, but together!!!

This man is actually from China. But his hat caught my attention. This particular day, I was coveting his paper hat. The very wide, baby pink, wide brimed hat would be just thing for a hot, sunny day in Seoul. This style of sun visor is VERY popular here.

I just love this clip. These are our very wonderful Sister missionaries singing at a special Sisters Conference.

I have instructed my children that one of them should name their next child "Acacia." Well, here it is. The Acacia tree in full bloom. Its aroma is divine. This tree kind of reminds me of the "Tree of Life" in the Book of Mormon.
