Ashah meets her foster mum

We had a very special day the other day, Ashah got to meet with her foster mother, although she was shy, she did end up giving her a cuddle and sat on her lap which was beautiful to see. We exchanged gifts, Ash got some hello kitty sock, and then she also did some writing in her book for her foster mum. Alex will hopefully see his foster mother as well. Just being here this time has been really special, both times we've come to pick our beautiful children up it has been around 0 degree, very cold and snowy, so its so so nice to be here enjoying the sun, today was 21 degrees, so easy to get around and do things.

We seem to leave our room around 11am and not come back till 5 or 6 o'clock. we've been catching the train a lot which is easy, it goes to anywhere you want. We've visited market (which are so overwhelming- too much stuff), seen palaces, bridges, parks and eaten a lot of food (still)...we've actually found this really cheap eat out across the road from where we are staying, the lady is getting used to us so much so that the other day when we went in, she was making sushi, it was fresh, she shoved it in Matt's and my mouth, I got images of nonna Lina...she just wanted to make sure we had something in our bellies while we waited for our food...and tonight she gave us 2 fried eggs on the house, a really sweet lady.

Tomorrow we are going to try and go to the Korean Folk Village similar to Sovereign Hill, Ballarat in Victoria, people dressed in traditional clothes, korean drumming, dance and little homes from different eras. We are here in Seoul till Monday when we will travel by fast train to Busan...so the days are rolling on, we are having lots of fun, but also looking forward to returning home.
