Well.....

We got a little bit of snow here!  As I was riding the bus to Seoul (to go to the dentist), I looked and had to do a double take, like is that really snow?!?  Yhep, sure was!  The closer (or so I thought) that the bus got to Seoul, the more traffic accidents I noticed.  An hour and 30 minute trip ended up taking two hours!  Nonetheless, I made it safe and sound!  

My first visit to the Korean dentist was a SUCCESS and best of all NO cavities!  My dentist, very thankfully, speaks excellent English (he went to Penn State).  He definitely knows his dentistry and their  equipment is hands down next to none...they have us beat!  I told him that the hygienist did a better job than the ones that I have had in the states!  Because I traveled so far to see him, he gave me my fluoride treatment for free (usually 30,000 won)! They don't give free "goodie bags" (with the toothbrush, toothpaste, floss) like they do in the states, but I did manage to get a free toothbrush!  I will definitely be back for my six month check up!  

On a different note......

I went to the grocery store today to pick up my weekly groceries.  I went to the check out line and the lady began to ring up my items.  When she rang up my soy sauce, she started laughing!  I was looking at her like what's so funny?  Then, she held it in her hand and laughed even more as she looked at the size.  I bought the smallest size, I guess that was funny to her?  Why would I buy a big bottle?  I live by myself, won't use it that often, and that is way too much salt!  Geesh!  

Finally, please know that I am safe with all the North Korea/South Korea mess that is going on.  I could feel a little bit of tension when I traveled to Seoul this weekend.  I noticed that it wasn't as busy as it usually is, but that could be because of the cold too! Thank you for your prayers and emails!  If nothing else, please continue to pray for the two countries for peace and UNITY!
