My 23rd Birthday and Korean Take-out



My favorite birthday present was that Kyle got to come to school with me and attract all the attention! Ally and Jenny surprised me with a cheese cake from Paris Baguette, and I made them sing Happy Birthday in Korean. 

Here is me really excited about the Korean song. I was also really hungry and wanted to eat the cake because I didn't have any breakfast. I think this is the earliest I have ever had birthday cake. after singing Kyle, Jenny and I brought some cake down to share with the Principal and the Vice Principal. I can also say I have never eaten birthday cake with chop sticks until now!


Thankfully Kyle was there to divert most of the attention away from me. No one really knew he was coming to school so he made quite a scene. Some of the fifth grade boys saw him when we first arrived and told him that he was very beautiful.
Slowly the word got around that Kara Teacher's brother was here and they all had to come take a look. Someone even asked for his autograph.

And then his fan club arrived..... The six grade girls all went crazy for him haha. All they could say was "Kyle handsome"

We were doing speaking testes that day so when we finished we put Sponge Bob on. I told Kyle to come in and watch and then all the kids wanted to go sit by him. Can you pick him out?

I think he started to get a little over whelmed being so famous.

Then it was time for lunch. A typical school lunch is rice, some kind of soup, and three different banchan, or side dishes. Not really sure if Kyle liked his lunch or not, but luckily they had chicken wings that day so I gave him mine.

Then we didn't have much to do the rest of the day. Here is Kyle playing on the computer. Later that day we judged an English speech contest. It was pretty funny. The kids were too cute and were trying too hard, so we gave them really high scores. After school, Ally took us out for dinner with her husband and daughter. Then later that night Erik came over and the three of us went out for pabingsoo, a Korean shaved ice cream like thing. Over all it was a pretty laid back birthday. It was really nice to have Kyle there to spend the day with me!

The next day Jenny came over after school and she ordered Korean take-out for us. I always have adds on my door, but I can never order because my Korean sucks and no one would know what I was trying to say! Korean take out is awesome because they bring all the food to you already on a plate or bowl. Then when you are done you just have to put it outside your door and they will come and pick up the dishes. It's nice because you don't have any dirty dishes or a bunch of garbage. I think America should take up this idea.

Kyle is getting mad cause I always take pictures of him eating.

So I just take more!

Here is Jenny eating. She helped me find this nice table at the market last month.

I finally got a picture of Kyle when he wasn't paying attention.
