Day 75, 76, 77, 78

Will start this post off by thanking Seungho for inviting me, Murat, and Mark to his hometown of Jeonju and introducing us to his family. It was for celebrating his niece's 1st birthday which is a very important thing in Korea. It was also fun to see some sites in Jeonju, but unfortunately we didn't get to try any Bibimbap which Jeonju is famous for. But I did get to eat fried at chicken 12 AM so that was good :D
And staying at Seungho's cousin's house was very fun, especially since the three kids there were all very interested in seeing foreigners for the first time.At first they were afraid of us, but by the time we left I felt a little sad since it as very fun playing with them...especially that soccer volleyball game we played on their apartment roof. It didn't seem fair though since Murat and Mark are 23 and 20 while the kids were 9 and 7, but their dad joined in which made it even. But the thing I won't forget from that match is how Murat and Mark kicked the ball over the roof 3 times...twice down onto the streets and once onto a neighbors roof...
Speaking of soccer, went and watched a soccer game for the first time ever. It was in Jeonju world cup stadium and the game and crowd was crazy. Especially when the home team scored the tying goal in the last minute of the game. It went all the way to a shoot out but unfortunately the home team lost 3-2...Still, I won't forget that for a long time.


I'll end this post by thanking Seungho and his family for welcoming me, Mark, and Murat to Jeonju. We were treated like we were part of their family and it was awesome. I'm definitely going to need to re-pay Seungho back for the kindness and generosity when he comes and visits Canada. 


So Karen (here's your shout out) and Ada, have any ideas? And Karen, you can actually tell what my line problem is through the HTML??
