Apparently they do eat "dawg" after all

We started our Korean lessons last week, and we now know about 50 Korean words.  We can say them and write them in Hangul, and we know what they mean in English.  Words like pig, apple, sit, parking lot, hello, etc.  Ok, so I don't know how to say "etc" in Korean, but you know what I mean...

Anyway, in our lesson today, we learned a new one that I really like.
Apparently, rice cake in Hangul is, which is basically pronounced "dawg." 

So, of course, Sadie has a new nickname.


Sadie "Rice Cake" Carville

 Ok, maybe you had to be there.  But we thought it was funny. 

It's ok.  Sadie doesn't think it's funny either.

  3. Hi, Aunt Babs! Well, we're actually going to Taipei, Taiwan this weekend, and then for Christmas day we're having dinner with one of the other expat families here in Yeosu. Probably not a very traditional dinner, but you can be sure it will be American food! We have small artificial tree in the apartment, and lights wrapped around the curtain rod in the living room, and we've been playing Christmas music pretty much every night for a couple weeks now. We have plans to Skype in for Christmas with both of our families' Christmas gatherings, including an annual viewing of White Christmas. This is the first Christmas away from home for both of us, so it won't be easy. But we're determined to make the best of it!
