Week 20 of 52

Wonju - South Korea

P - FAMILY - The biggest reason for this holiday was to see family .. .. .. you totally loved your cousins.  You loved shopping with your Aunty as much as she loved shopping with you!  A day spent visiting your cousins school and watching her perform followed by lunch and department store shopping where Aunty brought you high heels and lace top socks, was completed with traditional market shopping where Mama brought you the Korean costume you had been eyeing since Namwon.  My beautiful girl oh how I loved seeing you spend this quality time with your cousins.  This has been such a special time and I pray we all spend time together again very soon.

Z - At the Wonju Herb gardens you ran around enjoying the water.  Water has always been a source of entertainment for you.  Jumping over the stones to bring your Mama a flower .. .. .. You totally warmed my heart the way you spent time doing jig saw puzzles with your youngest cousin.  Just like your Uncle was the only boy amongst a sister and girl cousins, you too were the only boy.  

I have been in awe of you this trip, embracing the cuisine and trying foods that Mama wouldn't try (Kimchi), however, you did draw the line at silkworm pupae .. .. ..

At the airport you questioned if my tears were the same as P's when you were on school camp and she missed you.  Smiling I explained yes, however, school camp was one week and Mama's brother left NZ for South Korea 7 years ago honey.
