In my hometown, Seoul

Between Autumn and Winter in Seoul 

Darrin at the Pork Restaurant

I came to fetch Darrin at the bus station in Gang-nam, Seoul.  He showed up with long hair in two weeks. 

He cut his hair close to make himself more handsome first, then we went straight down to one of his favorite pork restaurants.

Woohoo, look at the juicy meat, yummy!

It was good to have a traditional Korean tea after so long.

Dinner with my two sisters and two nieces at Kim-dae-gam, a popular roast duck restaurant

A nice and tender tenderloin steak

Eun-kyung cooks and we just eat as usual.

Darrin gave Chae-bin a little gift, the winter panda-hat.  

She is so cute in it.    ノ^_^)ノ

And,, Eun-yung and Steve tried it on.

@ cafe SanMoToongi, Seoul

When women touch this stone(phallus), the women will have a baby soon. 

When men do, the men will get more healthy.  

This expression stems from an old Korean saying.
