Old Downtown

A few weekends ago, I took a trip to Old Downtown (Eunheng-dong).  It’s a neat area with good shopping and good food.  If you wander over there, I definitely recommend “The Flying Pan” (yes, flying, not frying) an awesome Italian restaurant with pretty good prices.  I got soup, risotto and a soda for 22,000 ₩, which I think is pretty darn good.  I can definitely say the food is almost as good as what I used to eat in Little Italy in Cleveland.  Enjoy the pics.

Snowman Sock Puppet

Sorry folks, life has been hectic.

It’s December, thus the snow on the blog and the snowman puppets.  I post this only because I feel so proud of Spring Class.  OK, I really feel proud of myself.  When I started in July, one of my first art classes with Spring was the snail sock puppet.  It left me in tears and questioning my ability to teach at MapleSquare.  I swear, they looked liked lumpy socks with eyes.  Not so with the snowmen.  Granted, I’ve learned a thing or two over the last few months (like always make a sample so you know how to do it).

So I proudly present Spring Class and their sock snowmen.
