My Weekend-Korean Lesson and more

On Saturday I met with my friend Maria for brunch and a Korean lesson at a near-by Coffe House called Caffe Ti-amo. We decided to get a waffle with gelato to share as the waffle comes with two scoops of gelato. I picked green tea gelato and Maria chose blueberry. We went and sat down and started our lesson and a few minutes later our waffle and gelato was brought over. It was covered in Chocolate Syrup-Oh No. I am allegric to Chocolate . Maria knew I was allegric but did not realize it was going to have chocolate syrup. She felt really bad and went and got some more green tea gelato with caramel syrup. The gelato was so yummy.
We had a great Korean lesson and I learned some important phrases I am allegric to chocolate. After awhile Maria said she wanted a glass of water and thought I should go and ask for in Korean for her-kind of like a popquiz.
I went up to the counter and said Sil le hab nida mul hanchan chuseyo? Which means excuse me can I please have a glass of water. The server went and quickly got me a glass of water and I carried it back to Maria. She was so proud of me and I was so proud too.
We then went shopping so Maria could buy some presents for the kids at school because
she has decided not to work there anymore and wanted to get the kids goodbye presents.
She found some really cute erasers for the kids and sent them with me to take to the kids this week.
I am sad Maria will no longer be working at my school but glad we became friends and will keep in touch and continue to have Korean lessons.
On Sunday I set out to find a church that has English Services. I found one online that was to be near the Costco. When I asked about it at work-they said Oh that is so far but there was metro instructions and it was only about 15 to 20 minutes on the metro and then five minutes from the metro station . I thought that is not bad and will be easy to find. Indeed it was very easy to find.
The people at the church were very nice and welcoming and I enjoyed the service and will probably go back. I also learned where the costco was on this journey as well.
It has been a great weekend and hope everyone had a great weekend as well.
