I've made some friends....

Yesterday, we made a field trip sort of trip to Seoul to go to the Seoul Museum of Art(SeMA) to see the Warhol exhibit. We met up with another South African, Linda, who was very nice as well. Back to all that in a minute though...first, we made a little(which ended up being long) stop at the Yongsan electronics mart. It is crazy big...and has every possible electronic you could ever imagine and then some and the prices are good. So anyways, we stopped there to get Ryan's camera fixed...which turned out just needed new batteries. He claims he checked several kinds, several times and no luck...but viola!! take it to the store and it works...I hate when that happens!! After wasting half the day there, we grabbed some lunch and headed to SeMA to see the Warhol exhibit. I never knew that there was a Warhol museum in Pittsburgh!! Who would have thought?!? Amy, you should check it out...well, when all the art returns. I really enjoyed the exhibit, but pics were limited...no pics in the galleries where the actual act is.  In fact, I got scolded for trying to take a pic in the first gallery and also was handed a Kleenex and asked to spit out my gum....stupid Americans...oops!! Hahaha!! I was able to discreetly sneak a couple of photos though. 


I am off to go have a homemade dinner with my non-American friends!! Don't get my wrong, I love y'all, my American friends and family, but I encourage all of you to make some non-American friends...back there in the US and when travelling abroad!!
