How funny is this?

I was making dinner last night and I went to crack the eggs into the bowl. I cracked the egg and it bounced. I looked at it and it was solid. I thought that was strange. I then tried to crack another egg and the same thing happened. I thought I was going crazy as I only bought the eggs at the shops less than an hour before. I went back to the shop in in what little Korean I had explained to the lady that there was something wrong with the eggs. She in what little English she had informed me that they were preserved. On speaking with a Korean friend today, apparently they make delicious snacks. I'll let you guys decide. Have a look at the photo.

Autumn in Korea

Autumn is truly here and it is stunning. When it is a good day it is an amazing day. The leaves are all turning red, yellow and orange and it is a great time to be outdoors getting as much sun as we can before winter really hits and we have grey skies. The downside for you is the fact that I will have lots of photos of trees and leaves. Sorry, but you will have to indulge me. Okay, I will throw in some photos of the girls too, just for something different. We took the elementary school to a Pottery Village yesterday, here are some shots I took there.

The Movie Version

Here are my Hwaseong shots in a fun movie version.

Brrr it's cold over here!

My computer tells me it is 7 degrees, but I think it is colder. Winter isn't suppose to be here till December, but it is getting cold quickly. We are expecting 2 degrees tomorrow morning with a high of 11. I think I may stay indoors. Emily and Paul are off to visit our sister school for a soccer tournament. I think Emily only wants to go for the popcorn and fairy floss. Anyway it is a 6.30am departure. I am very glad Claudia has a birhtday party so I have an excuse not to go.

Last week we went to the Hwaseong Cultural Festival. This is an event to remember the death of the one of Korea's kings. Anway they re-enacted the procession of the King's body being moved to his grave. Morbid I know, but fascinating. Every possible costume and variation of the traditional dress was there. Then there was a citizens parade. Once, fairly boring for the kids, but visually stunning for me and I got a lot of good shots.

Bong Bong

My daughters have discovered a new addiction - Bong Bong. Well for those English speakers, that is an indoor trampoline place. They love it. Every day they beg me to take them there and as we have to walk past it to get home, I often cave in. I should point out that I love bong bong as it gives uninterrupted book time and for $2 for an hour of unlimited bonging who wouldn't?

Anyway here are some shots I took of them bonging and then having the obliglatory slushie afterwards.

I love Jude's hair in this photo. jude is Emily's new friend at school.

More Nepal

Words can't express what an amazing time we had in Nepal. It was dirty, crowded, dusty, noisy and amazing. I just loved my time there. It was also a great experience for the girls. I think they suddenly realised what a blessed life they have and that compared to what we experienced in Nepal, we are rich. Not only in material things, but in life experiences and family. I made a movie for Church of our experience at the Children's home and I have posted it here too. You will need to click the button twice.

Nepal

We are back and alive! It was the most amazing trip and there is so much to tell. This post is just some photos I took whilst in Nepal. I took over 500 shots so I will give more news and photos in my next post. These photos are of the people of Nepal.
