Today we took a day off and celebrated Easter, just the two of us. We started our day with some local coffee and pastries to enjoy while worshipping through Saddleback's online campus. Our day then included shopping on Gangham street, watching movies, dinner at CPK (we needed some American food) and is ending with coffee from a different cafe and a movie in bed. We are so blessed to be able to spend Easter together in another country. Korea doesn't make a big deal about Easter. The Christian lifestyle is very different here. So we made the best of it but can't wait to maybe dye some eggs when we get home.
We've been to temples, villages, historical landmarks and some of the most breathe taking national parks. Neither one of us expected this country to be so clean and so unique in the way it's built. There are no suburbs here. You live in the city in a high rise apartment or out in the middle of nowhere in a family village. The east coast is beautiful with a fabulous hiking trail through the cliffs along the shoreline. The mountains are a lot like ours except for the hiking trails are built with cool bridges over the river that runs through the mountains out to the ocean. We kept saying all week how much we would love for our trails at home to be as nice as they are here.
Amidst all the sites we've been to, we are loving the coffee here! Seoul is a city that literally sleeps for about 2 hours so there are cafés all over the place. Just about every other store is a large 2-3 story cafe with wifi, coffee roasting, and plenty of seating for work meetings, casual dates, or playing games with the kids we are with. Cafés have been a highlight!
Well we are headed out to Bejiing, China tomorrow until Friday (Thursday America time). Hopefully we'll get so,e wifi there and we'll update you more.
