First Birthday!

I will have more of an update later this week... but I know you are itching to know all about this weekends adventures. In short, it was my birthday. In North America I would now be considered to be in my mid twenties, and in Korea I am now one year older than my North American age. This is because the first year is while the baby is developing, ergo when it a baby is born it is 1 year of age. Just thought you'd find this cultural difference interesting!

(M is for Michelle. This was at the mall attached to Lotte World, the Korean version of Disney World. On birthdays one can enjoy candy, coffee and cake and not worry about eating perfectly healthy... yes this was probably my first day not eating the National food of Korea.. Kimchi :D. Don't worry I did eat my veggies).

Thank you to everyone for the Birthday wishes and everyone involved in making my 1st Korean birthday so memorable. I am so lucky and fortunate to have such amazing people in my life. ALSO a big THANK YOU to Ms. Y's class for the birthday wishes.
