Thursday evening, a co-worker and I went to go get some new glasses! I've heard good things about the eye doctors here, but I wanted to experience it for myself. So, Ali and I headed out after work and walked a whole one minute to the optical shop. We tried on all sorts of fun pairs. I also had the shortest eye exam in my life. I ended up buying two pairs of glasses and two boxes of contact lenses... all for only $200! This process was so fast, so simple, and cheap... America needs to take some notes!

Sadly, Ali and Brittney are leaving soon, so the other night we went out for some Shabu Shabu. Here is a picture of it and all it's glory! So yummy, so spicy! It's thinly sliced beef, vegetables, potatoes, and noodles all boiled in big pot. Once you've finished that off, you use the same pot to cook up some rice, onions, and an egg and it's the most delicious (and slightly sweetened) rice you've ever eaten.
Today, I went into Itaewon to find the foreign marts with Melissa and Nyeasha. We ate some delicious Tomatillos and then went on to buy some things that reminded us of home! I bought ranch dressing, hummus, pita bread, Trident gum, Aunt Jemima pancake mix, and Diet Cherry Coke... YAY! I did receive some ridiculously unfortunate news though. My summer vacation to Dubai now has a layover in China for... wait for it... THIRTY HOURS... UGH. That's a whole day snatched from Dubai and hours that we have to figure out what to do with... and you can only be in China for 24 hours without a visa (which is $200!)... joy, joy, joy... Hopefully, Nyeasha and I will figure something out. Prayers would be appreciated.
To leave on a lighter note... here are some great sentences from my kids...
