It's My Party!

The Birthday tradition in our family is to celebrate with an early morning party. We wake up the birthday person with the appropriate number of licks, sing happy birthday, give gifts and eat cake. This year, I assumed we would forgo the cake because traditional cake and party supply pickings are slim here in South Korea. Well, little did I know, my husband and daughter were planning behind my back. After my husband's jog, he went over to the Paris Baquette and purchased a birthday cake and candles and hid them in the refrigerator. This morning I awoke to, you guessed it, the whole nine yards. This may not be the best place to find cake and party supplies, but it sure is a great place to find gifts. Yesterday, we visited the Akoya Pearl farm and museum in Tongyeong. You guessed it!
Happy Birthday to me!


Today is Parents' Day in South Korea. Last night, one of our Korean friends came over and surprised us with flowers.

    My husband received the package and was tempted to open it. I have been in the US for almost a month, with limited internet access. I will be returning to Korea this week and cannot wait to open my package and display my goodies on my blog. Thanks for mailing it early.
