My friend and boss, Mr Keum (Curt) and some of his extended family invited me to dinner last night.
We went to a place we've gone before – in fact, I went there with my mom and Curt's family in 2013.
We had dinner of 칼국수 and then coffee and dessert afterward.
Here's where we went.
Here are the 4 kids (well, 2 kids, 2 teenagers) along with the food we were eating. They are two sets of siblings: two older cousins on the right, Nayun and Dayeon, and two younger cousins on the left, Doyeon and Baegang – each pair of siblings facing each other. I have taught ALL 4 of these children for many years. They are all smart. The oldest, Nayun, in the purple tshirt, I have known since 2007 when she was 5 years old, and the youngest, the only boy, Baegang, I saw as a newborn infant.
In this last picture – this is the entire group. Curt and his brother, each of their wives and kids. Everyone kind of mixed together.
I will miss all of them. They have all been very generous with me.
