Wonderful fellowship in Korea

On Saturday we really had no definitive plan for the day.  Shop the markets, go hiking, do more touristy castle visits...oh what to do...but we were glad in the end we had planned it that way because after meeting brother Wang kun Pang in the morning, we ended spending the day leisurely strolling the Seoul zoo with the children and getting to know this kind man.  He goes to the Seoul assembly.





silkworms for a snack anyone?


These were the neatest ice cream cones I have ever seen...shaped to look like an elephant trunk, with ice cream on both ends!

Sunday we met brother Pang again, this time at the Korea Assembly.  We had such a nice time of fellowship, and encouragement.  They also spoke very good English!

Eating lunch



lunch was sweet beans and rice, and a spicy curry type stew, both were very different in taste from the Japanese versions


the women sat apart from the men, not sure why?  I am not sure if I committed a terrible faux pas by sitting in the main area or not...and it was too late before I realized it



They wanted to make a heart, to show love.  This is definitely not American nor Japanese...Korean are very different in many ways.




Our kids were the main attraction




All tuckered out in the taxi on the way home.  It was a long day..we left at about 8:30, and did not get home until about supper time.

We decided to try to fly home on Monday morning.  We headed back to Osan Air Force Base to catch the flight out that afternoon.  But, after making roll call, checking our baggage in, and waiting to board, with 4 antsy children no less..they cancelled the flight.  They said there was hazardous material on board and it was not safe.  After wasting a whole day sitting around waiting for this flight, we had to head back  into Seoul with 4 very hungry, cranky, children.  And it was understandable, I was too!

Thankfully the next morning we caught this C-5 back to Yokota...
C-5's are massive, they transport tanks in them and other large military equipment.  Though maybe not the most comfortable, relaxing flight...it was free, so who am I to complain!




Sleeping conditions were ideal, though very loud, no windows made it pitch black

I really hope we get a chance to go back here, though a nice country, the people and friends that were made, make the return trip very appealing!
