Some of our favorite Korean faces....

We have done a lot of shopping "downtown" and these faces are all very special to us. These sweet people are what the Korean hospitality is all about. Friendly, helpful, and so caring. It means a lot to us that in less than one year we have formed a special relationship with these people that we won't forget.

Ana has a STRONG bond with "Gladyis". (The lady holding her.) Everytime we go downtown she always wants to stop in and say hi to her. Gladyis works at Royal Bag and the owners are always so sweet to us too. They always have a banana or an apple for Ana and BIG HUGS!

This is Mr. Pang. He is the "middle man" for us that pays all our Korean bills. We take him our bills and money and he "takes care of it" for us. He's primary job is a car sales man. I have NO idea why he does our bill paying on the side...but their are many of us who live off base that go through him. I joke that he is a sort of "Korean mafia boss". This man can get you anything at ANY TIME of the day. He works very hard to make us feel safe and cared for in Korea.

This is one of my favorite purse stores. This lady (I am HORRIBLE with the Korean names!!!) owns this store and just adores Ana. She GAVE her this purse this past summer and Ana still carries it around and takes care of it! Again, just the sweetest lady with the biggest heart.
