Korea

I had a work trip to Japan this week and went a few days early to visit my sister Liz in Korea where she is studying abroad this semester. She is living near the southern tip of Korea, but was on holiday from school and came up to Seoul with some friends from her program for the week.

We met up with Liz's friends on Monday and toured SWS adoption agency (where 3 of them were adopted through) and got to go over to the nursery and see the babies. The babies were between 6 days old up to 3 months old and live there until they go to foster families or their adoptive families. The facility was very clean and nice and there were quite a few caregivers. I was very glad because I had been worried about seeing the babies in bad conditions and having to pull an "Angelina" and adopt all of them to rescue them. I think Jeff was a little worried that I would try to smuggle a baby out!

Then we went up to N Seoul Tower to look at the city. Liz's friends were all from Europe and they informed us that we have "American smiles" because we smile with our whole face. I had a good time seeing Liz and hanging out with her friends, it just went by too quickly.
