Introducing: The Bébé Experience


Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello, Hello,

While pondering the events of today--what do I do first, that is..--I came across the idea of making a dramatic separation between my Korean Blog (as it has slowly been changing from its original purpose, justifiably, to make room for the bébé bun and his arrival) to that of another blog, now titled, The Bébé Experience (how original: there were too many "baby experience" websites, so I gently changed the name!) And so, this new bébé blog will be dedicated solely to discussing motherhood in all its splendor, with perhaps, a whip of French and a twirl of multiculturalism: after all, our bébé bun is both Pakistani and American! How unique, how spirited, you comment. Indeed. So why didn't I think of this sooner? I call it, a baby-do. (--check out the new blog for an explanation on this fabulous new word construction!)

So feast your eyes, if you are so curious; but give me time, as I have yet to adjust the website, tweak it a bit, and add the many, many, MANY photos I have taken and have yet to take relating to my baby experience.

Until next time,

Chelsea

A day at the beach~ Pohang Style!


Is the water cold or what?
Swimming Pohang style means~ you swim with your clothes on!



Two weekends ago, I told Ahsan, "Alright, hon, on Sunday, we have no plans. So we either go to Pohang or Busan. You choose! But I gotta get out of Daegu...and I want to see WATER! Oh, and some dae-geh would be nice!" Coming from a girl who spent several middle/high school years as a competitive swimmer, I was practically in the mood to beg to feel some good 'ol water--and no, my shower was not good enough!--and some delicious crab from the East coast. 'Twas Saturday night at the time, and after I did some phone calling, around came our good Korean friend Myunghee who was up for a mini trip to the sea.































............By car from Daegu, we drove roughly 45 mintes-- not only did we hit the beach, but we ate some pretty damn good food at a nearby restaurant called "Cha Deem Sang" right before. So here it is, folks: the dae-geh (crab) that's been long-awaited...!!! Not to mention, fresh mollusk, fried fish, snails, and veggies .. your average Pohang-style side dishes.
