Chili's Anyone?
This is the recent view of the sidewalks in town lately. I guess it is pepper harvesting season, and they have to dry them out? Everywhere you turn there are peppers, and zucchini laying on tarps on the sidewalks. I guess the Koreans are not as fanatical about germs, as us Americans. I did find out that there is a Wal-Mart in Seoul somewhere. The book that I read about it in says that it is just like Wal-Mart in America, but geared towards the Koreans. So I guess instead of walking down an aisle and finding peocessed meat and tv dinners, you will find dried squid and processed octopus. They might even have an abundance of rice steamers. I have noticed that in little food marts all over that sell alot of SPAM. I guess that what they use all those peppers on.
The weather has changed and it is absolutely fabulous. The past two days have been warm, but with a constant breeze. In the mornings and evenings it cool. Not cold, but just enough chill to make being outside feel refreshing. If feels like it did when the weather started to turn in New York. That is one thing Geoff and I have missed the most about Ft. Drum. Fall up north is 10 times better than the heat and humidity in Alabama. I have to say that Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons. I am just waiting for the leaves to start changing.
On a crafting note, this is the beginnig of my next pair of socks. I bought this yarn before I moved over here, and have been itching to use it. It is called Party, and as you knit it, it makes stripes. It is part wool and feels heavenly. One thing I am excited about is when we move to our apartment, I will be able to craft at full force. I will have a room for a sewing machine, and I just discovered that Dongdaemun Market has a building that is 5 floors of nothing but fabric and crafting notions. I can't wait. I am going to have to work even harder on my time management skills. Geoff is working nights for the next two weeks, so don't expect to many exciting adventures. Maybe I will be able to get this pair of socks finished faster. Until next time!

My favorite is Fall too. I've heard there is not much of Fall in South Alabama so I'm a bit disappointed. I'm suprised that there is a Wal-Mart. Take pictures if it's different. Amy knows a good rice recipe if there is an abundance of rice over there. I just heard that you and Geoff will be home for 21 days over Christmas time. I'm really excited. I will be off the whole week between Christmas and New Year so I hope you will have time to get together with me! Have you found a cool South Korean Santa Claus or Snowman for our Christmas Party? I will fight for that!!! Can't wait to hear about your apartment and see pictures. Where is you sewing machine right now anyway? Love you so much!
Hey Lace
My favorite is Fall too. I can't wait for it to come. I'm glad ya'lls weather is good and the rain has let up. I really want to see your apartment. I hope you like it. If the weather gets really cold at least your feet will be warm. I love your socks. We really should try and get you on the Martha Stewart show. Smarty pants. Stay safe. I love you .
Hey Lace!
Is Ashley for real, thinking someone is going to get a Korean Snowman or Santa Claus. Come on now, don't they know it will be an Lacey's original and be knited. If you need some recipes for some of that germy zucchini, I am sure I can come up with something. Talk to you later. I love you. I enjoyed catching up with you the other night. It was worth my whole lunch break.
Your sis
Have you moved yet? Is Geoff still working nights? I hope you don't get scared at night by yourself. I live in the ghetto and I get really scared and I don't have to worry about the sex trade or brothel thing! Be careful!
I am tired of everyone talking about the brothels in Korea. That is making me really scared for you. Who are those socks for???!!! Just so you'll know, my shoe size is 5! You can just knit a snowman or santa on them for our Christmas party! Or, you could even smock a snowman or santa on the knitted socks. I'll send you an insert if you need one! HA! Oh, and I do have a rice recipe if you want it! It's yummy. Love you much!
