Back in the States

I am finally back in the states and want to start blogging about old things in Korea and my take on things here in the states.  I will probably be blunt and frank - cause the only follower I have right now is bglegacies...  
Okay so we lived in Korea for 3 years and had limited contact with American friends and family.  We lived in the capital city of Seoul so moving back to the States has been culture shock all over again!  We are constantly reminded of the things we miss and can't have here.  But, having our friends and family around is more valuable than anything!  

Things I miss!
1.  First and foremost I miss the people that became our "Korean" family whether they were from Korea or not!  Mrs Cindy and her family, K.B., Mrs Sarah, Mrs Victoria, Mrs JM, Mrs Sujin, Welchie, Doc Leens, J Davis, Sharifi, Saylor, Mr. Warren, Ki beum, Ms Katie, Mr. Kim, (The corner store family - Hyung and Halmoney) and the List goes on...  We truly miss these people, they hold a special place in our hearts!
2.  Kimbap Heaven -김밥천국 - a greasy spoon pretty much on every corner!  They have tons of Kimbop/Gimbop/ Kimbap/Gimbap.  available!  Kimbap is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbap.  It is not Sushi or fake Sushi.  I love Kimbap!  
3.  Having a bakery nearby ALWAYS!  I hate getting slices of bread that can sit in the palm of my hand!  The varieties of bread are so small!  My favorite bakery in Korea was Paris baguette  http://parisbaguetteusa.com/
You can not get that stuff here!
4.  Getting around the city whether it was walking, buses, subway, or taxis.  I can't believe how much we depend on our car here!

I will post about my American firsts soon - just wanted to let people know we are back in the States.  some of our friends and family, haven't seen us in so long that they forget we are here!  Holla at cha boy!

Rant

"I am going to put tons of stress on you about school so you can eat what ever you want as long as you stay thin - and I don't care how you stay thin - just do it cause no one will want you unless you are thin, cause I never let you be different in any other way!"  Oh and by the way the job you want 10,000 others want it too and I don't care how easy it would be for you to get a job in America paying double what you would make here you are staying here, cause I need someone to take care of me when I get old and that is your job because I got you the best education you did not want and put you in the best hagwons that you slept through and paid the dean of admissions to get you into University ALL so you could be depressed on a regular basis In a job you do not want and constantly unplugged from reality, shopping or watching our K-dramas, while pretending that K-poop is real music!  

someone - clear things up for me...
