May 20th. Moving again?

 Go this way and that way and this and that way. Well you know the song. Moving days always seem to be that way. Today was no different. Everyone was all packed and ready to go. We go out and the taxis runaway. So Mary Ann (who can resist that charm) Asks some young boys to call us a taxi and one big enough for all our luggage. For that he gets a Topsail Turtle statue. 

I get the taxi to drop us off about where I think we should be. Did I mention it is about 85 degrees and sunny. But between Jonah using the right gps and me reading the directions again, we find the new homes and drop off our bags. Then catch a taxi and off to the National Library. 

We het there only a 1/2 hour late, but still a very warm welcome from Professor Kim followed by Ms Lee. Professor Kim will show us around and Ms Lee is babysitting my rock while we travel. 

They have a video in the reception area that is just unbelievable. 



This picture and video was sent to me by Jonah  


Then we went upstairs to show Patricia and Jonah the plaques in our name and the items from us on display. 


We said goodbye to Professor Kim and Ms Lee and headed to the National Museum. Had a quick snack and Mary Ann, Patricia and Jonah were headed into the museum while I caught a taxi over to a dentist to take care of a gum infection I had developed. A lance here and there and I think I am OK. Of course 5 days of antibiotics

We decide to meet back at the apartment and then go for something to eat. Problem. Many if not all restaurants close till 5:00 pm to give everyone a break. We find a decent one after several false starts.  And go back to rest till later. 

It’s Later and Mary Ann has had enough. So Patricia, Jonah and I head out to see the night market that has appeared just 4 feet down the road from us.  What had been a normal street at 5:00pm had turned into this by 7:30. 





We then walk through a lot of the little alleyways that make up this neighborhood and have so many unique shops and places to eat wishing we had not eaten so early. 

One of those shops was a pellet shooting range. Patricia and Jonah both partook. You judge who was the better shot. 




Then off to the beginning of ChungGye Stream so Patricia and Jonah can see it. 


A little walk down the stream, taxi home and to bed. At least for us. 
Goodnight
