KICS Christmas Concert

Chris' school has a Christmas concert every year. This year even the teachers had to help sing in it. Here are some pictures from the concert.

Christmas Party

We had a really fun Christmas party at our house to celebrate the holidays. We had lots of friends come over. We played games and had a gift exchange. Here are a few pictures from the party.

New Apartment

In December we were able to move to a new apartment. Here are some pictures of the move, and of our apartment.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we were invited to celebrate with some of our friends. We didn't know everyone there, but it was still nice to be gathered together to celebrate.

Desert and Kimbap

Dinner! I made candied carrots, broccoli and cheese casserole, and twice baked potatoes. It was delicious!

Seoul Tower

One of the great places to go in Seoul is Seoul Tower. It is in downtown Seoul, and on a clear day you can see all of the way to North Korea.

Couples put up locks to symbolize their love. It is really cute!

These are chimneys that they use to light in times of danger

COEX Mall

One of the biggest malls in Korea is Coex. There are tons of interesting things to do there, and outside of the mall. Here are some pictures that we took in that area.

Halloween decorations

Insadong and Pagoda Park

We also took Roy over to Insadong. There we went through the streets, went to a bird teahouse, and then wend to Pagoda park. It was really fun.
