We are back from our trip to South Korea and Finland. Both of us really loved Korea--South Korea is a great example of how nice one's country can be if everyone in it decides to be considerate of each other, among other things. My brother got married, his wife Sang Hee is really nice and was a terrific host. Helsinki was beautiful; it reminded us of Portland in a lot of ways, except that Helsinki has an AWESOME public transit system whereas Portland definitely does not. Helsinki is green, small, and easily navigable by foot, bus or train. Lev waited outside while I scoured Marimekko. (What a great husband!) We got back at 6pm the day before yesterday and I had to go to work at 8--I was wrecked from jet lag but feel great today.
Tonight Levy is making homemade pizza, including the dough. Woo! And we are watching the always stomach-turning "Papillon."
Below are some photos from my journey. Enjoy!
