A New Chapter

Dinner at Cafe Salsa with Princess Lily, tutu, crown, wand and all!

This will be out of order since I still have trip pictures to post, but had to show children’s play area at my gate at Inchon International Airport. Free wi-fi, too - just did FaceTime with Fred, Mike & Lily. Also, found Starbucks, so I’m all set. To board in 40 min or so, then 12.5 hrs and I should be home!

Liz & Kirsten LUV Zelen! We closed the place down - it was pouring and we did not bring umbrellas. The owner recruited her mother who rescued us with three umbrellas. She took Kirsten’s arm and ran with us to put us in a cab and fetch the umbrellas back to the shop.

Meat on a sword called shashlik

Stuffed eggplant appetizer - moussaka like

Zelen’s lovely ambiance…

Our favorite restaurant in Korea is… Bulgarian?? Very interesting and yummy food - Slavic/Turkish fusion.

Typical high-rise apartment buildings. These are between Cheonan and Asan.

At KTX platform waiting for bullet train from Asan to Seoul.

Students at Liz’s school - the Chungnam Foreign Language High School, a private boarding school in Asan. We spoke to three classes, met the staff and the principal (who is VERY revered and almost feared, though he is soft spoken and calm).

…on TV.

On TV? Everything and anything, including tutoring!

Huge LCDs are everywhere in Korea - Samsung is ubiquitous in Cheonan - their main plant is here.

Cool bathroom
