Saturday in Seoul

I forgot to mention an interesting item on the breakfast buffet. It is little tiny whole crabs in a kimchee like sauce. I have not had the nerve to try them, I eat the kimchee for breakfast, but the whole crab, hmmm. Today's lectures were good, we split up for lunch and I went to a Japanese restaurant. I had curry fried rice which came with a big shrimp and two mussels, someone else found a super tiny crab in hers. We went back for another lecture and then to a museum to hear traditional music. The music was interesting, but the pieces were long and since we were unfamiliar, a little too long maybe. The dancer was fabulous and moved as though she floated. Beautiful hands, Kari would have loved it. I bought a cd for the classroom and a flute for, well I don't really know why I bought the silly flute. Gil, I hope it looks good in the Asia dining room! We had Shabu Shabu for dinner, delicious! The side dishes were all there and then in the middle of the table is a pot of boiling ??? turns out it was broth. Vegetables are added and then meat and then you eat. Later noodles, similar to saimen or ramen noodles were added. All very good. I have eaten a lot here, but lots of veggies and fruits. i think I even enjoyed soy milk this morning. After dinner we walked down to the market we looked for last night. A lot of typical stalls of stuff. I got green tea ice cream again, bought an umbrella and a pair of protest socks. I may go back for a baby hanbok (traditional Korean dress) for Makana later. She would look adorable! I hope to get to sleep a little earlier tonight. Tomorrow is a Buddhist temple and the museum and shopping again!
