Typhoon!

Seoul is preparing to get hit with a typhoon! It rained all day today as the very outer part of the storm is dumping lots of water on the city. The eye of the storm is supposed to hit China in the next day or so, and eventually downgrade to a tropical storm as it nears Koera. Thankfully, the worst of the storm isn't predicted to hit until after we're on our way home, but we're prepared for a very wet last few days here.

Because of all the rain, we had to find indoor activities. We visited the National Museum which today was also known as "Field Trip Central". Seriously, it seemed as though every middle school student was visiting the museum. Watching these kids run around loudly with their friends and not listening to their teachers brought back flashbacks of visiting the science museum with my own students. Thankfully, those days are over! Other than the rowdy and excited kids, the museum was great! It was enourmous though, and unless we wanted to spend an entire day there, would have never seen it all. By the time we finished at the museum, we were ready to crash, thanks to still feeling the effects of jet lag. All we really wanted to do was sleep, but knowing that wouldn't help us, the compromise was to see a movie at Coex Mall (Sara, if you're reading this-does that bring back memories?). Back at the hotel the only English channels we get are CNN and the animal planet and we've both about had it with "The Crocodile Hunter"! It felt so good to just sit and watch a movie!

Tomorrow afternoon we'll visit with Graham again and we can't wait! We'll take lots of pictures and post them if we can. This site isn't allowing me to add pictures right now, so hopefully by tomorrow the problem is fixed.
