From prostrations to repentance, we've really been on the run lately. Our most recent adventure was our trip to Seoul. We headed north (about 3 hours) in our car for Yom Kippur services, our first real Jewish experience in Korea. We spent two nights at the military's religious retreat center. The retreat ended with break the fast and we were even served bagels and lox! It's like the Jewish kimchi. The service was intimate, almost like Passover because the Rabbi called on almost everyone in attendance to participate, read or open the Ark.
After we left the retreat center we headed on post (military base) where we stayed at the Dragon Hill Lodge for an additional night. We took the kids to the Korean War Memorial and Museum. It was quite impressive as far as war memorials go. It made for a fantastic day. To top off our day, coincidentally, some new friends from Waegwan were also staying at the lodge with their two children so we met up for dinner at a Brazilian restaurant. It was a lot of fun and ALL of the kids gave us a special treat with their good behavior. It can't get any better than that!
