Arriving in Jeju



{*A bit late setting up the blog, {!} but a few glimpses into our first days in Jeju. Rachel and I stopping at Lotte Mart to buy the first items for our new apartment}. 
 {Inside Lotte Mart!}



{HK was everywhere! Meow <3}
 {*Inside Lotte..A first look at a local market in Jeju City. 8,500 won =$7.68 for the peaches. We hadn't yet discovered the tangerines/limes} ;)
{*Finding our way and wandering around the city}...

 {My friends called this "dragon's eyes," but they are longan}.
 {Metal chopsticks!!}


{*Our first buffet lunch at Gusto with the full staff. My first time trying kimchi: a traditional Korean side dish of pickled vegetables in HOT sauce} ! 
{*Our first tour of Branksome. The campus fits it's motto entirely}.
{*My favorite feature of the school. This ceiling is actually a drainage system. Makes for a beautiful and practical piece}.  



{*State of the art ice rink; we are waiting to get our school #'s up to open the rink for our athletes!}.
{*Olympic sized swimming pool}. 
{*Lounge in my residence house: Shin Saimdang}. 




{*Friendly reminders to our girls..}
