It is 6:04pm. We just checked into our last hotel. The first three nights we stayed at the Ramada Inn near the hospital. It wasn't the greatest experience we have had, but it did the job. The fourth night we checked into the Somerset Palace near most of the palaces and did a lot of sight seeing around that area. Tonight we are staying at the Park Hyatt in Gangnam thanks to the help from Katelyn's brother. Thanks, Kyle, by the way! I'm so glad we did it this way, so that we didn't know how undesirable the first three nights were.
Yesterday we went to Gyeoungbuk Palace and enjoyed the scenery there. Then we met up with Katelyn's friend Jee Yoon and had really good mandu (dumpings). After lunch, I was feeling absolutely miserable. I felt so sick from the lack of sleep and all of the medicine, I stayed in the hotel room and slept while Yi Yoon and Katelyn went to the Bukchan village (traditional village). I was feeling so homesick yesterday afternoon and didn't know if I was going to make it three more nights. But after a good nap I was up and ready to go again. One of my favorite Korean dishes is the fried chicken. I don't know why it's so good, but it is. Then we headed out for some evening shopping. I thought it was around 9:00pm and it was actually 12:00 am. As an average, I have been only able to sleep four hours a night, but last night I slept 8. And boy do I feel like a new person.
This morning, we met up with Soo again. She took us to another palace and then we went out to lunch and had shabu shabu. It is Korean custom to share food. When having any soups, most of the time there will be one pot on a burner in the middle. Then everyone has their own bowls. At the restaurant she took us to, she said some Korean restaurants are giving single servings. The food again, was amazing.
The best news of all is that I have my appointment at 9:00 tomorrow morning for implantation!!!! Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. I couldn't be more blessed to have all of you in my life.
