the undergound...

yello.
today has been the most intersting day of our stay so far. we got up at around 7ish thanks to our new friend jet lag. watched some crazy tv, and then we got some lunch. korean bbq that jamie's detailed already. getting used to the water and food here is pretty rough on the stomach, rougher on some than others... julie was out of commision for a couple of hours today, but we got her plenty of fluids and meds and she was back on her feet in no time. while julie was down jamie and i went walking around in a part of the city that we haven't seen before. after passing an elementary school, complete with soccer field and chicken/pheasant/rabbit cage, we found these stairs that looked like they'd go to a subway station. we were apprehensive to head down at first, but we pressed on. what we found was unlike anything i've seen in the states. it was an effing yuuuuuuuuuuuuge undergound shopping mall. tons of cheap ass clothes, jewelry, food, and glamour photo shops. like woah. after walking around for a bit we went back up to the streets... only to find an effing gigantic outdoor shopping area. sorta the same deal as the undergound thing, only much colder. we also saw a fish market where old ladies sit around piles of flounder and squid and a ton of other stuff which i'm not sure what the hell it is.
we headed back to the hotel and made julie come check it out with us. this time we stopped at a place called mr. pizza to get some grub. figgered pizza might be easy on the stomach. korean pizza ain't half bad by the by. i believe that's it for now. i'm sipping a cool pint of Hite beer, and hitting the sheets. tomorrow is burrito day at school.

i'll double that people, let's keep it all as non-vulgar as we can. i certainly not only enjoyed first born grandsons comments but first born daughters comments as well. just love seeing and reading all this, now that i finally found it. saw the spread on the looow table, where in the world did you put your legs....looked like enough grub to feed an army. i know you're all being careful, just continually keep clear heads, so that you make good decisions.....ALWAYS. talk to you again, love to all g'ma "L"
