Flying Kites~

On October 3rd, I had a day off and got to enjoy it relaxing at Yeouinaru Park (여의나루 공원) with Youngsu.  Our hope was to find duck boats and sail off into the sunset... haha but we couldn't find any and therefore decided to fly kites.  It was such nice weather and we had lots of fun.  We had a little child come up and try to take our kite cause his parents were too slow to put his together.  hahaha!

Check out our pics~

Uijeongbu Cafe

Sorry~~  I've been a little behind and haven't had much time to update!

A few weekends ago on a late Sunday night (Oct 2nd to be exact), Youngsu took me to a late night cafe in Uijeongbu~ It was a really cute place with a fire to curl around and have some dinner and cocoa~

We took our little dog, Toto, along for the ride and she was definitely cozy in the blanket Youngsu brought me.  check out our pictures!!

Birthday dinners and celebrations~

So last Thursday was my birthday~ yay~  I turned 23.

Youngsu and I met up for dinner in Dongdaemun and just got to hang out and have a nice birthday date~ He surprised me with a new pair of shoes which are couple shoes~  haha!

On Saturday, 9/24, Youngsu and I got haircuts and we think they turned out quite nice~~ haha!  After spending the day looking for a birthday present for his dad and getting our hair all nice and pretty, we headed to his house to meet his parents for a birthday dinner for his dad.  We headed to a yummy galbi place nearby and ate to our heart's desire~  Afterwards we were presented with free cones of icecream!  YUMMY!!

 Before~~~~

 After!  (aren't we cute?!  hahaha)

Here's where we went for dinner with his folks~~

This next week is a holiday so Youngsu and I are planning to have some fun going fishing and riding boats~  ^^

Look forward to the next post about fishing in Seoul~~

(here's a cute picture of Toto in her fort while you wait for my next post~~)

license!

So this morning, Youngsu and I headed out to the Gwanghwamun area to get an affidavit for my license and to get my license.  After a little problem because of my visa type, we were rerouted to another location.  Tip* (apparently) if you have an E-2 Visa then you'll need to take the written test and need to go to a DMV office and not the Seoul Global Center... otherwise go to the Global center near City Hall station.

So we headed off to Map-gu Office area to the DMV there to get my license.  We walked in and headed to the foreigner area... which btw doesn't seem to have an english speaker manning the desk... soooo good thing I had Youngsu with me. (^.^)  *Tip2* since I'm from Texas... apparently I didn't have to take the written test (like the woman at the Seoul Global Center informed me... ㅠ.ㅠ) ... just an eye test and I was done.

After we were finished with our paperwork and testing and paying... we took our stuff back to the foreigner desk and were told to wait 1 hour and we could get my license the same day~

I was quite surprised how fast and easy it was to get and it'll last me 9 years!  I had to trade in my license and was informed that if I didn't claim it in 3 years, that it'd be disposed of.

Whelp... it expires next year so I think I'm good.  HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

anyway~~ here you go~~  a preview of my beautiful Korean license that I hope to put into good use soon~!
