Back to Business :)

My first {real} week back in Jeju, Korea was filled with all my favorite things: teaching, painting, spicy lamb curry from Baghdad, shoe shopping, more shopping, and another coveted Konglish item. 

* 

On Friday, we picked up where we left off by doing our best imitations of The Scream by Edvard Munch. The artsy connection to our unit on water sources was a bit more of a stretch, but The Scream is iconic and a fun way to brainstorm all the things that make us want to scream: good and bad.

{The walk back through campus on my first day back. Plenty of sunshine.} 

{Mount Halla at sunrise}.

{Re-creating The Scream}: 

{Discovering the Lemon Table in Jeju City, which gives foreigners {like us} a taste of Western comfort foods. There were hand cut fried potatoes and hamburgers on the menu, not to mention real ketchup and best of all: a super cute decor}: 

{Browsing around for a few new items. I love shopping without the pressure to find something specific: because I always land something cool}: 

{This shout-out to Coco Chanel is meant to say, "Coco made me do it." Love the "Konglish" version even more than the original}. 

{I love combat boots. I keep it girly by wearing them with tights and a flirty dress. This pair by Tandy {a popular, high quality brand in Korea} made me double back to the store and buy this leather pair I can't afford. ^-^ }

{The best details are underneath: the sizing and "Made in Korea" imprint.}

Having lamb curry at the Baghdad Cafe {check out the stationary boutique across the street for cute gifts} in the City Hall area, and strolling around. My very favorite on a Saturday night. 

{Who's this?? ;)}

{City Hall: Jeju City:}

{In other news, I got into my first fender bender while going to City Hall. Our cab got T boned by another cab in an intersection. It was bound to happen. Everyone was fine..yikes!}
