My host mom got wind that I love chicken, and so decided to surprise me with this chicken curry for breakfast! I feel so incredibly spoiled here. Why are they so nice?!

Having been schooled in the basics of the Korean Tea Ceremony reminded me to cradle the cup of tea in my hands and just slowly inhale in the aroma of an all-natural, healthy, calming drink.
This was about the only variation in my schedule from the past two days. Still no observing or teaching because my classes keep getting cancelled for one reason or another.
Sookhee comforted me by saying that tomorrow I teach!
This evening, the sound of ridiculously infectious laughter drew me out of the room. It was my host sisters and host mom laughing to the point of crying because they had accidentally created a super portion of patbingsu for dessert!
I had no idea why this was funny, but I laughed along with them. The bowl looked absolutely mouth-watering.

I absolutely love capturing my host family smiling or laughing. My host mom was still tickled, and giggling off to the side as she plopped this bowl of many wonderful things on our short living room table.
Lots of laughter, Google translating back and forth, and eating. This was a very good Jeong-building night.
But, seriously though, I can't wait to teach tomorrow!
