So day one...



Whitlee slept exceptionally well. Better than Hudson. Hudson is such a thrasher everyone pretty much woke up bruised and battered from him. Still quite impressed all four of us fit on a queen mattress. We woke up about 4am (still pretty jet lagged) and showered, got ready and waited. and waited. and waited for her to wake up. Finally I was just about to resort to taking a nap when she awoke. We packed on the kids and took off for Dongdaemun Market. It's basically an area of high rises that are full of vendors. We purchased some much needed clothes for the kiddos (recall, I came across the globe without anything for them) and headed out. We also got some sweet deals because are kids are just so darn cute. We've managed the metro system quite well. By 'we' I mean Jonathan. After that we were still in need of some basics i.e. diapers. We finally made it to Emart which makes Wal-Mart look like a joke. They even have escalators for your cart. It was SO crowded. Actually every place in Seoul is packed.



I was so excited to eat at the food court because the Korean food looked so good but of course I don't speak Korean and we couldn't find an English speaker so it was Burger King again. UGH. After eating, we headed back and passed out from exhaustion. While 'wearing' the kids is much easier than holding their hands or carrying them, it is still hard on the back. Especially when there are so many hills and the metro is full of stairs! Our calves are definitley getting a workout.
