Daegu

One of our favorite places to visit is Daegu because we love the people there. We also love the shopping and GREAT places to eat as well.

We have started a Korean language class every Saturday taught by the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We love the class, it has taught us so much! We now know how to introduce ourselves , say things that we like (Simple sentence, I like ____) and where we are from. We have also learned how to ask question to a bus driver and how to tell a taxi where we need to go. This week we learned a few key phrase for when we go out to eat. We have started learning Hongul which I find difficult at times.I'm looking forward to the future classes and hope they continue to be as awesome as they have been!

Some fun things we have stumbled upon during our weekends in Daegu are priceless.

This man jumped out of the subway and into the crowd of people. When we noticed, HOLY MOLY HE HAS LIVE BIRDS ON HIS HAT!  Nick ran to catch up so he could snag this picture. We were stopped by another couple who asked us to email it to them. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity (people are weird)

Another time in Daegu Nick and I were on a much needed date night. We are with each other 24/7 but still needed a date. We watched Star Trek and then walked around downtown Daegu and found this awesome show in the middle of the street. It was pretty awesome. The men had little routines they did with different swords. I liked it when they fought each other.

When they finished everyone rushed to the swordsmen to get a picture with them. Nick and I decided to get a picture with the guy playing his shell.. I love the shell and have seen it in many performances in Korea. This guy let us play his. I didn't think twice!!!

Daegu  is a lot of fun! We plan to explore it more this summer, hopefully we will get to E-world soon. E-World is a kids fun park that has roller coasters and waterslides. We also want to explore more around our little town. There is a lot to see and do there as well. I think it will be easier now that we have gone half-in with another couple for a scooter. We are looking forward to our future explorations and picnics. 

Our fields are really changing. Most of the onions and garlic are harvested and they are planting rice. It is AWESOME to walk by because of the creatures you see swimming in the water. I found a TON of tadpoles in one field. I ran home to wake nick up so he could come see. When he came we got a closer look and they weren't tadpoles. They are called tadpole shrimp click here to see what they are.

This is the cool tractor that plants the rice. It is fun to watch it go and stab them into the water filled soil.

It is getting really hot here, and I am told monsoon season will be soon. I thought that the humidity wouldn't be worse than Alabama but I think it is. I sweat as soon as I go outside!!! NOT COOL!! It makes taekwondo hard as well. 

Other than the heat and the soon to come bugs from the rice fields everything is going great! 

We want to let our Father's know how much we love and care about them. You all have helped us become who we are and we are eternally grateful!

Well that about sums up this post! Bye for now!
