Buying Jerseys and eating Bulgogi

I apologize for the lack of daily posts!  For some reason I can't upload photos on some days.  Hopefully I can fulfill your desires for photos!

Our Public Affairs team recently ordered our Jerseys!  Here in Kunsan, every organization has a Jersey.  The jersey has the basics: name, number and organization.  Ours also list our class year (for me it will be 11-12), have the American and Korean flag on the sleeve and have a wolf head (for the wolf pack).  Since we are Public Affairs, we also have the slogan "Like us on Facebook."  I am excited to pick mine up.  Each organization wears their Jerseys around base to the various functions held, such as First Friday (which I previously attended) or the events coming up on the 4th of July!

Me in Mike's Jersey Shop. 

Our first shirt...nice....
After we ordered Jersey's, Mike the Korean (no knows his real name) told us about his sister's restaurant around the corner.  We decided to try it since we wanted our Jersey's done right!  After we were seated and eating our meal guess who comes strolling in to check on us?  MIKE! 

These were some little chip-thingys that we received as part of our side dishes.  They sort of taste like styrofoam! But Mike's sister thanks us!

This is one of our Airmen eating squid....


Trying a Vitamin C drink that we received for free....I was a little skeptical to try it since I was sure this was going to lead to bad things out the other end later...but I want to make sure I try everything at least once!  The drink ended up being a pretty tasty shot of Vitamin C to the face....but the results later were not pretty.  Not sure if that was from the Vitamin C or Mike's sister's chicken bulgogi.


Part of our crew....above and below!

Our Airmen not doing so well with his squid.

This was the place across the street from Goldenhill (Mike's sister's place).  We will have to try that one next time because it has the best BEFF bulgogi!

Wine and pasta sauce

My first bottle of wine in my wonderful "apartment"!

I made some semi-home made sauce the other night.  Trying to be healthy and avoid preservatives!

Check out my weather report below.  I tried to capture the Asia report, but it went by too fast.  Who doesn't love wonderful AFN?


Yes, I am awesome.  Enough said.

Mongolian Night

Our Public Affairs crew went to Mongolian Night at the Club the other night.  They weigh your plate and cost is dependant on how much you want to eat.  It was delicious!
Signing up our new Staff Sergeant for club membership.  Looking sad because he is against it like me.

Loading up the bowls!

Getting some egg drop soup!  It was all very tasty.

Our server looked away for the photo...I don't think she understood at first.

After she saw the photos she wanted to pose for more!  It was pretty funny.

She specifically requested this photo!
Up next: a little wine and some cooking

It's a monsoon...well maybe

It has been raining for three days straight.  I now have Lake Kunsan in my back yard.  Take a look.  Seriously, three days without stopping.






Poor Randy...

Up next!  Mongolian night at the club!  Yummy!

Orphanage Trip

SORRY FOR NOT POSTING FOR A FEW DAYS.  FOR SOME REASON IT WOULDN'T LET ME ADD PHOTOS TO MY POSTS!  HOPEFULLY IT'S FIXED NOW! :)
Once a week there is a trip to a local orphanage.  I decided to go and am hoping to attend every week that I can make it.  I don't think I was prepared for my first trip though.  The kids were rowdy!


On our way!







The kids were crazy!
Below...on our way back!


Up next: It's a monsoon.  Boooo.

B-boys

Courtesy of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) we enjoyed an awesome performance of breakdancers.  Let me just preface this by saying I was not a fan of breakdancing before I saw this performance.  But MAN!  These guys can do some crazy things!  It was difficult to capture their true form as they were moving so fast but hopefully you get the idea!
Our ROKAF Public Affairs counterparts!

Yes, they are on their heads


Dueling



This could be bad...


More head shots



The only female breakdancer of the group

They invited our guys on stage to show off their skills

An entertaining evening! 
Up next: a trip to the orphanage and taking Randy out for a drive!
