Horse Hunt
When we went on our trip out to the country, we were driving around and noticed a small sign on the side of the road with a drawing of a horse on it. Underneath the drawing was a phone number and an arrow. Having no idea what the sign meant and knowing that a phone call would be a dead end due to our lack of ability to speak Korean (I know, shame on us), we decided to follow the arrow and try and find the horses. After about an hour of searching and stopping by the side of the road to perform charades so that bystanders could guess what we were looking for, we found the coolest horse stable.

Halloween
This year for Halloween, some things were different. Susan Grace and Miriam were asked to work at a local Korean English Academy. They organized and played games with the children. They worked hard and earned a little money. I like the money over candy idea.

Some things were different: there wasn’t a Halloween costume parade or party at the school. What a relief!
Some things were the same: we got too much candy! James loves counting his. I think it could be considered a study in counting to one hundred. Candy anyone?
Some things were different: Susan Grace didn’t trick or treat with us and when we were done, she stayed for a Halloween party at a friend’s house. Can she be old enough to do that?
Some things were the same, almost.

Some things were the same: we went trick or treating on Halloween night and my children cried that they didn’t need jackets. Jackets would really ruin the effect of their costumes.
Some things were different: the neighborhood where we "trick or treated" was a gated expat community. It was a very small neighborhood, which ment very little walking for me. It was perfect.
