My friend Anne came from the East coast of the US to spend time with….ME!!!

Happy, happy times for me! Anne my friend, who has lived here at Yongsan and left for the States in April, has been staying with me since the 17^th.

 

Picking Anne up at the airport, always the best part of getting visitors!

We had many fun outings but mainly we talked, went shopping to all the wonderful places Seoul has to offer, which you already been reading about in my previous blogs.

We went to the Air show, on the US Airbase in Osan, walked in parks and went to the Hermes museum. Celebrated the United Nations Day, had dinner parties and lack of sleep :)
 

 

The colorful world of Hermes!

 

 

 

It was quite a different type of museum we visited .......

The presentation of Hermes' history was fabulous and unique. Definately worthwhile a visit. Believe me the pictures don't do justice!













To visit the Osan Air Show together with Anne was a real treat. Not only did the BG (ret) Anne Macdonald pose as our escort officer, being a pilot herself, she gave us great background and input.

Wonderful Anne!



 

I had the luxury to invite some friends to go with me to the fabulous play called "Miso" (meaning: smile), an original Korean love story. The story line is, without speaking, a Romeo and Juliette play but....with a happy ending!

 All made posible by my friend Charles Chong!

Thank you Charles!

 

 

 

United Nations Day celebration was wonderfully organized, by my friend Major (sel) Jaeyeon Lee (I was so proud of her!) The presense of General Paik (Above) , who is "the George Washington" of the Republic of Korea, was an honor for everybody attending.

 
Nice evenings and dinners have been inspiring and fun!

 Halloween at Yongsan Base!

 

Preparing the candies....

 

 

 

"Trick or Treat"!!!

 

 

 

Time is flying and on Tuesday she’s flying back to Boston and leaving me with an empty feeling and house. Nevertheless I’m so very grateful she took the time and spend money to come all this way to see me!

THX! My darling friend!
