Sinful Weekend: Pizza, Hamburgers, Sex

Domino's Pizza

This week we found out there was a Domino's Pizza near us and man were we as happy as could be.  Pizza in Korea is mediocre at best and the only way to get a semi-decent pizza is to find an American Pizza company who has a store in Korea (Mainly Pizza Hut, and as we recently discovered Domino's).  We don't know how to order so we picked up a pizza from the store and took a taxi home (which cost the same as taking the bus believe it or not).  The Pizza we got was great, we got two flavors: Deutschland and Potato Bacon.  The German Pizza was advertised as having Sauerkraut, but there was a distinct lack of sauerkraut. It was also covered in honey mustard.  The Potato pizza is standard fare in Korea and has Potato, Bacon, and sometimes mayonnaise.  The pizza came with two packs of sweet pickles, also standard in Korea, and hot sauce.     

McDonald's

So Last night Bethany and I were feeling extremely lazy and after failing at Ordering Domino's we decided against our better Judgement to try and order McDonald's delivery service, McDelivery (Yes that is what is actually called).  We both chose to order MegaMacs (Double, double stacked Big Macs) with Fries and a medium coke.  And within 30 minutes it was delivered right to our door.

Jeju Love Land

A warning to Family and Friends the next section of pictures is slightly inappropriate if not mildly childish.  I'm giving a fair warning, please do not judge us for what you are about to see.  On Friday afternoon Bethany and I ventured to Jeju Love Land.  This is a sculpture and "Educational" park.  When we visited it was full of Chinese tourists taking pictures.  It was actually kind of amusing to see some of the older people giggling at penises.  There was even a sex shop inside one of the exhibit halls with everything from condoms and vibrators to penis shaped tea sets.  There was an Korean woman inside who made Bethany and I feel a vibrating cock ring and then exclaimed that it was #1.  I turned the most lovely shade of red.  The funniest part is that there is more than one of these on Jeju, though the other one is considered to be "more educational" according to our coordinator.  If you think you are brave enough to view these pictures keep scrolling if not just stop here.

The Pictures

Spring has Sprung

If you don't like Cherry Blossoms you should probably skip this post.  It has been awhile since we've updated the blog.  Since our last post Cherry Blossoms have bloomed and started to fall like a pink snowfall blown wildly in the breeze coating anything and everything in pink cotton candy petals.  They gather in every nook and cranny; in every drain and sewer.  Like snow, but without the cold.  It is truly one of the most beautiful things that Bethany and I have seen.  The point is we have an extraordinary amount of pictures of cherry blossom trees and this is just a sample of them.

     

 

Besides looking at pretty flowers in Trees we've also had some unique experiences.  One Saturday one of my Adult Students invited Bethany and me to go to A shaman expo at the National Museum.  We watched a little bit of some traditional performances and looked at a lot of their spiritual items.  Many of these items were paper craft with extremely intricate designs.  It was very interesting and we learned a lot.  While we were there we also toured the National Museum and learned about the history of Jeju.  

These little Statues were used to Guard and Take of the Body after Death.

Bethany made me add this picture.

From March 29th to April 1st Bethany and I went to a teachers retreat.  It wasn't exactly how we wanted to spend our weekend, especially since we just got done with training less than a month before.  We also were not excited for the all day Saturday Church service which we were led to believe was mandatory.  We later found out that it was not Mandatory and that we only had to attend one seminar.  We stayed in Guest housing with one other couple that we had met in Orientation.  The guest house had two bedroom, each with three twin beds (two of which were bunk beds).  We had a decent time though and had a good amount of time to spend with the friends that we had made in Seoul.  I played soccer with a bunch of the teachers while Bethany cheered me on and took pictures.  All in all it wasn't a completely bad experience but it definitely wasn't a shining moment in Korea.

Ball almost hit me in the face. 

They had one flag for pretty much every other country and 10 for America.

'Merica

  The food here is delicious.  We've tried a lot of different food including "American Food".  There is a pizza place that isn't half bad near city hall that has all sorts of pizza; not that many that would look familiar to most westerners but still delicious.  What really bothers Bethany about the Pizza is they put corn on nearly all the pizza.  I have to admit it isn't half bad.  Bethany's favorite style of food is Korean Barbecue which involves cooking your own food on your table. There is a little place that does this underneath our apartment and we go there all the time. The owner doesn't speak much English, and there isn't a physical menu but we manage.  There is also another little place  further from our apartment that we like to go to because they have 치킨 마요 (Chicken Mayo) which is basically Chicken with spicy mayo sauce over rice.  It is delicious.

Bethany found these socks and could not resist buying them.
