Photos of our Work Dinner with our Delicious New Camera!

Well, hello there!

So, we found ourselves a beautiful new camera at Yongsan this past weekend! (Thanks mom and dad, and Sonya!) It's a Nikon, D40. You should look it up on google. Its a digital SLR! I can use old Nikon lenses on it, too! Holy cow. It feels really nice to take photos with.

When we were buying it, we kept saying no to the sales guy. He really wanted to make the sale, so he kept knocking money off and giving us free stuff. So, we ended up with a great deal!

Mmm. Tonight, the owner of the school took the teachers out for a Christmas dinner, at a traditional Korean restaurant. They ordered a traditional, "southern region" meal. Mmm. Lot's of fish, oysters, jiggae, side dishes galore, and the best kimchi ever. All of our co workers appreciate that we like to try new Korean foods. They say most foreign teachers they work with don't like it at all. It's delicious!

Here are some photos of the meal and the restaurant. I am sure they will tell a better story than what I write about it.


This is one half of the table!








Here is the other half of the table!





Look at all the dishes after we're done eating. It was a feast. I feel a little guilty, actually. There was so much wasted food. Apparently the Government here has been trying to slowly phase out traditional Korean meals because of all the wasted food, but the people here love their food too much!
