Christmas and Boxing day in Korea!

---

Hey! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to new year!!! Thank you so much for all my pressies!! hehe!! was so so exciting on Christmas morning 😊 (like Christmas!!!!) hugs for all!!!!!
thought youd like to have a liccle look at our merry christmas here in mushroom land!
So Ma and Pa headed to buy us some food ready for CHristmas day complete with CHicken and veg to cook us a roast dinner!! hehe!! 😊
Well we had our usual CHristmas morning, pressies bright and early!! (someone was just a liccle excited!!! maybe me 😉 )
Then time for our cooked brekkie and the usual walk! I had been instructed via a very pretty hand drawn map by my kiddies class that "ceri, go walk, good, Bonghwa little mountain" I must say I am so impressed with my skills of teaching them English!!!!!!
But they were right, walk, good, thanks!
So off we headed with map which had warnings "ceri, careful, dangerous" and "big bridge" "water" "up"
The views were amazing over Bonghwa and found lots little paths which i shall go exploring during my winter vacation!!
Home in time to cook the chuck, complete with crackers (with vocal bangs - mum had to remove them incase they thought she was a terrorist????!!!) (still a little confused with that one!) Beautiful dinner and then time for games! 😊 A great but slightly different CHristmas!!!
Boxing day and back to school for me! but I managed to wangle half a day off to escort the oldies on guided tour of Buseoksa temple, near by temple in the mountains, so off on a bus (after much discussion in semi english - korean!!) and up up and away! the temple views were gorgeous! whale was dragging his fins a little but blubbered his way to the top so as not to be out walked by us 'young' ladies!!!
Home in time for a nice curry!! yayayayay!!!!
Next day and another half day so off for a look around Andong a nearby city, after a rather 'quick' bus journey and closing eyes with fear of the corners! we arrived in one piece for a beautiful lunch! ANd the whale even got a cuddle by a few admirers!!!! he's gona miss being 'the handsome white guy' all famous with calls calling after him!! yes it is true! hard to believe i know!!! lads if you want your ego boosted visit Korea!!!! 😉
Lovely wander round Yeongju at night to see the lights before home! Check out the Konglish signs (added for your entertainment!!) Its good to see the future of my hard work!!!!
All in all a great Christmas time!!! looking forward to heading to Seoul this weekend! hehee!!! and ill fill you all in when i get back!
Hope you all have a great New year! Look forward to hearing from you!
love you all

Cer xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Ceri, more lovely views, wish I was there to see them. Missed you at Christmas, won't be long til July - Look forward to seeing you when you get back. Thanks for my pressie - how do I make my tea? Do I put milk in it? Lots of love Nan xxxxx

re|: tea!!
just pop it in a pan of water and boil. Need to boil for about 2-3 hours but once made you can store and re heat. No need to add milk but you might want to add a little honey hope you enjoy!! lots love cer xxxxx
