Where in the World is Ms. Kimpop?

My overseas adventures came to a bittersweet end on August 13th. 

After I wrapped up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam... 

I extended my trip and visited South Korea for 2 weeks.

Mainly to visit extended family since I haven't been there since 2003 and before that was when I lived there.

For those of you who might be wondering OR already know from my not SO obvious blog name...

I am 100% Korean. Which is why, I named my blog after Kimpop (usually spelled as kimBAP... not sure why I went with pop and not bap haha) a very popular Korean food dish. See picture below.

Yummm!

@ Korean Folk Village (OLD Korean village set up for tourists like me!) 

Anyways!

On my most recent trip in Korea, I stayed with my aunt from my dad's side in Yong In (about an hour away from Seoul by car).

I had a great time meeting and spending time with aunts, uncles, and cousins I didn't know I had and I got to do some touristy things like visit Lotte World (famous indoor/outdoor amusement park), visit the beach, and shop for cute little Korean things in Seoul. Haha.

Korean beaches are not too shabby~

I am glad I extended my trip because it was a perfect way to end my summer expeditions in Vietnam.

Already almost a month into the new school year.

I am back on the grind.

Have 31 little kiddies this year who are already melting my heart in all different kinds of ways AND I am also taking two graduate courses at Queens College.

One of my favorite meals in Korea. 

Tofu. Kimchi. Pork.

More blogs to come REAL soon!
