And they're off!

We had such a fun day yesterday! We went out to the horse races. It was such a beautiful day, not too hot. We met some new friends of ours Grey and Amy. We met Grey at Subway on our first payday when we went to go get some sandwiches!
We caught a bus and then the subway and made it down to the racetrack. The outside was soo beautiful with waterfalls and little sitting areas. I hate this picture of us! But i like the background so i had to swallow my pride to post it...be proud!











Brian and I don't have very much money so we pretty much bet with our spare change! LOSERS!!! But here's a picture of me winning 1.50 from .40! Imagine the possibilities...if we had bet it all...we'd be millionares.. Litterally here, b/c a million Won is only $1000. So we're millionares every month!
At the racetrack, foreigners can only be in a certain section. This section is NICE!!! Boxed in, A/C, big tables, cushy seats. We would've been happy sittin outside gettin a nice little sunburn. But we didn't mind too much!








Right after this race started the jockey on horse number 3 fell off his horse and they had to take him away in an ambulance. He wasn't moving; it was really scarey. Mountains like this surround us all the time! It's beautiful here. They were all around the racetrack.


After the races we all went down to this really cool area of Seoul. I'll definitely return durring the week to explore and shop! Yesterday being Saturday it was super packed..like sardines! Crazy, Brian hated it! But we all went and got big, tasty burgers at TGI Fridays, and then headed home. We started out at 9:30 that morning and didnt' get back til 7:00! We were exhausted. I went to bed about 10 minutes after getting in the door and slept til now...9:00. We had a great time and it was really cool to meet some people our age that we have a lot in common with and can have fun!

Church doesn't start til noon, and it's only 5 minutes away from here sooo, i might catch a few more zz's before i actually get the day started!
Love to all!!!!
