A Couple More Pics

Here are a couple more pics from the weekend.

Of course Halloween was a big event for Q. I think it's the first Halloween where he kind of understands what is going on. J, Q, our friend Ben and I all hopped in the car and went down to the Halloween store. It may sound like no big deal, and it really isn't, but it is a bit of an undertaking going into the city. Anytime you have to drive into the city it ends up taking most of the day. Mostly this is OK because you end up getting a tasty meal somewhere along the way and seeing some cool stuff.

It only took us about 20 minutes to locate the Halloween store after arriving in the neighborhood, or dong as it's called in Korea. This might seem like a long time, but trying to read poorly written directions in Korean posed a bit of a challenge. Ben and I had actually been to the exact store last year but things in the neighborhood had changed and it was dark the last time we were there. Needless to say it was a success and we all left with costumes.

Although we did celebrate Halloween at school we didn't go out on Halloween proper. We all were feeling a bit run down so we decided to take it easy and stay in. It was predicted to be in the low 30's by Monday so we decided to get out while we could still enjoy the weather. On Sunday we went for brunch at one of our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood and then out for a picnic later in the afternoon.

Oh I should mention that we got Beatles Rock Band. It is cooler than I would like to admit. Q likes it, especially "Yellow Submarine" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

These are some pics from the last week.
