The other night Chris and I
went to our friend Jinhwa’s place for dinner, along with our friends Tom and
Dannielle (both park guides). Jinhwa is a guide at the park and is from Korea. She made
us a beautiful Korean dinner (I must admit I don’t remember the names of
things) that made my mouth burn and my cheeks turn red hot. Wow, I haven’t had
food that spicy in a long time, if ever! But it was delicious and well worth
the temporary discomfort. She also showed us photos from her wedding to her
husband Andrew. They had both a Western style marriage, with white dress,
suits, etc., and a traditional Korean wedding, with BEAUTIFUL outfits for both
the bride and groom. I kind of wish the typical wedding dress was like that. Jinhwa
is returning to Korea
to visit family and friends for a month, so this was our farewell dinner. I
will miss her when she’s gone, as she’s one of the people I’ve gotten close to
here in Australia.
After dinner it was time to
feed their two lambs, one of which they had just found on the road and was only
a few days old. I got to pet and feed them, and they were quite adorable!
Dannielle lives on a farm with sheep, goats, cows, and emus, and she’s invited
me out to check it out. Playing farm girl for a day is now on my to-do list!
We finished off the night
with an oil-drum fire, and then said our farewells to Jinhwa. Have a safe trip
and see you in a month!
