Today Chandler and I left Ilsan for a few days to attend a national gathering of Korean Adoptees from around the world. It turned out that there were 600 people representing 14 countries! We got here in time for the opening ceremonies held at the Seoul Horse Race Track. Can you image a Korean horse race? The grounds also host major horse shows.
Our hotel is the antithesis of Ilsan Center. It is very upscale and lavish, with a master bathroom larger than mine at home. I feel guilty living like this while I know how others are living back in Ilsan. Molly wants us to stay for the entire week, but I think we will stay through Friday afternoon so that I can get back and get work finished. Chandler is disappointed but I feel guilty.
Dinner this evening was at a Buddihst Temple. We were supposed to bow, but there was no way that I was dong it. Chandler and I were separated because she was video taping and I was taking still shots. I prayed that she would know better than to bow to Buddah, and she did know. Out of approximately 400 who attended the temple, very few of us did not take part.
