We finally had an opportunity to be tourists for a few hours. Setting aside our role as new expats we gladly took a break to do some sight seeing. KIS has been a gracious employer so far, providing three meals a day to the entire family during orientation, repairing our leaky toilet pronto, translating our on-demand hot water heater so we could stop taking cold showers (although they felt great in this hot and humid climate), and bringing us to Seoul for a quick tour.
First on the stop was Itaewon, a district of Seoul, know to be very international. We saw "Western" faces all over the streets while walking around. A rare site where we live! It was a relief to see English on the menus and not have to mime our order. We spent most of our time in Itaewon inside restaurants to hide from the suffocating heat. Man were we sweaty!

Itaewon, because of its international population, is also where you go to find clothes and shoes if you happen to be bigger than the average Korean. Check out the
subtle signs.
