November 11th is Pepero Day here in South Korea. It comes from the candy Pepero and is on this date because it is "11/11". As the candies are like sticks, this is what the day is all about! Happy Birthday Trisha!!
November 16th
Today was Amber's last day here at work so we all
went out to celebrate. It's always fun when the whole group is out.
It's also entertaining when Amber does everything people tell her to do;
like dance on the wall, take a shot that was lit on fire, or jump on one of the blow up advertisements.

Today Buddy went missing. He just turned 15 years old on November 6th. He is deaf
and blind and has everybody worried sick. A friend of my sister made up
these really nice posters:
November 22nd
Direct quote from me from Thanksgiving day:
"I am thankful for so many things that I could not even begin to list them all.
I am thankful for the excellent support system I still have at home
with my family and friends, being able to travel to another country and
experience a whole different way of life, the friends I have met, the
places I've been, the things I have seen, and the way things have worked
out to make this the most rewarding Thanksgiving I have experienced
regardless of my current location.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Don't take anything for granted!"
Thanks to the posters, Buddy was found and the people got a hold of my sister. Buddy is home!
Saturday November 24th
Today for Thanksgiving we were invited to the Sunset Cavern Thanksgiving
Bash. Mike and Steve were hosting this event in their apartment and they
are so lucky to have this place. It is a large 3 bedroom apartment
(large even for American standards, but especially for Korea). They have
a projector and screen that they use as their television and they had
the Wii set up on it. The boys put on a great Thanksgiving and the
apartment was full of people. It felt like being home with lots of
friends and food. Mike and Steve fried a turkey and everybody brought
something to contribute to the potluck.
After dinner
Mike took us on a tour of the roof, complete with a helipad. The view
was spectacular being that high up above Daejeon. Later on there was a
paper airplane contest off of the roof of the building. The helicopter
won.
