 Well it's spring!  Roland and I have been out of our mind with allergies.  But We had to brave the hordes of pollen to get some pictures!
 They are everywhere and so pretty. It gives you kind of an unreal feeling when walking around under them.
 They line the streets.  Not just one or two but all the major streets.  Even the one coming from our apartment
 They are a really pale pinkish white. Wish I could smell them, but can't.

 These are the trees  lining one of the major roads in Okdong, Andong.
At night the trees glow with neon signs. It's really kind of magical feeling.

Happy Easter!
 The new club in my school is our Talk club. We have been having a great time!  Our big event was ghost stories.  We brought in some snacks covered the windows with paper and had a little lantern on the table.  Then shyly they started telling stories till, they all wanted to tell them.  They did a great job!  It was really good practice.
 Getting attention for Talk club, I have been drawing the topic of the week on the board.  I wish a had a picture of my first drawing. It was the coolest alien ever!  We use the internet to really stimulate their thinking and their want to know more about a subject.  

 I love this buck-toothed puffer fish!
 Saturday's dinner brought to you by the kind folks at Ssamchon.  Roland really loves it there!

 We like to go before the dinner crowed.

 They have the how to eat on the tissue box



 Always tasty!
 This soup is Awesome!

 Totally yummy every time!
 We were looking up the meaning to a word on our phone, we find that it's  100% He-man.

 My pretty plants!
 This one died the next day :(  It's usually under a cover, but it had been knocked off.

 My mint plant.
 Easter dinner! I made Spaghetti and chicken in a garlic butter sauce with red and yellow peppers, zucchini, onions and tomatoes.  It was pretty tasty!
 For desert Strawberry Ice with a sprig of mint from my "garden"
It was really yummy, and truly excellent, because my throat started to get really sore.  I plan to go to the doctor soon.  Yay health care!
