Gettin' Jiggae with It

As usual on these trips, the first morning we go to KSS to make updates to referral information for some of the children. Before we go, a stop at Starbucks is in order. Green tea latte is my favorite. Then we hop on the subway to Suyu Station for 1100 won and grab a cab for 4400 on from there on to KSS. We were a little behind schedule because of getting on the wrong direction when we changed over subway lines. Ms. Lee giving Bill and I an incredulous look says, "But you have been here before." We could only shrug and laugh it off.
After presenting our gifts to the orphanage, we were priviledged to do updates on three beautiful babies. Bill did the paperwork with Ms. Lee. Louie would play with the babies while I photographed every expression he could coax out of them. Louie even got a smile from the sleepiest of the three babies.

After we finish the updates, we visited the nursery. Some of the babies had just finished bath time and were bundled up.
With the updates done, it was time to head out on our own. Even though it was cold out it was still sunny. We walked a little way and got a cab for 3000 won back to Suyu station. But before heading back to the hotel, we stopped for a bite to eat at a little corner restaurant for some local cuisine. Some kim bab and kimche jiggae made for a delicious lunch. Kimche chiggee is a spicy stew with kimche, tofu, rice dumplings and meat. Very spicy and very good on a cold day.

Awesome you were able to take a cab to KSS from Suyu Station. Kids look happy and healthy as always. All these great food shots - I think I am going to have to make a lunch run to Seoul Hot Pot!
