My Moment of Fame!

 Last week Amanda and I went to the Seoul International Women's Bazaar at the Grand Hilton.  I was very excited about going even though some of my friends that went last year said they did not enjoy it - they said it was too crowded, over priced, blah, blah, blah.  I'm SO glad I didn't listen to them!  Amanda and I had a great time, even though it took us 45 minutes to get there (about 30 minutes longer than we expected) and I had to call in a favor and have someone pick Boy 3 up from school.  (Thanks Mimi!)  

Anyway, Amanda and I had a great time and we even picked up a few Christmas gifts.  I'm going to share one of my blonde moments with you guys...get ready to laugh (even though I didn't feel as bad because Amanda had the same blonde moment).  OK, here goes, I thought TEXAS was represented here......

See how excited I am?
Only to realize moments later (after the picture was taken) that this really is not the Texas flag, but in fact it is the flag of Chile.  (You can stop laughing now, you didn't know it was the flag of Chile either - well unless you are my husband.)

OK, so for my moment of fame....

I saw the booth for New Zealand and the New Zealand booth had wine bottles, and since my MIL has turned me on to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc's I rushed right over to see what they had.  Upon arriving at the booth, the lady working the booth pointed to me and said "Hey, I know you".  I immediately start racking my brain trying to figure out where I knew her from.  It had escaped me; I had no recollection of this lady.  Then she said, "You write a blog, and I read it!" 
OMG, someone out there besides my family and friends actually reads my blog!!!!!  AHHHHH!!! I'm famous - look at me, someone out there in Seoul land knows me!  How fantastic is that?!?!   Not only did she tell me she reads my blog, but told how she ran across my blog a few months before she moved here, and how it helped her (OMGoodness, I help people, YEAH ME!!) with her move.  She also mentioned how she has gone to the express bus terminal because I talked about it and how she likes our hiking adventures!  (Sorry kids, we will be hiking again next weekend!) WOW.  I was/am so excited about this accidental meeting.  Thanks to my one and only fan (OK, maybe I am going a little too far now, she never said she was a fan, but in my own head, she is) Sara from New Zealand. You made my day, no you made my week - oh for heaven's sakes, you made my year!  Thanks for reading!  I'm glad you find my website helpful!

That is SOOO cool! Better to be known as the girl with the blog than the girl who nearly ran her over with your car!!!

and on the Texas flag, the blue stripe is all the way down on the side.... not just half. You should know that it looked a little "off". You are from Texas, ya remember!

What are you talking about 'nearly ran over with your car'????

I know what the TX flag looks like. I said it was a blonde moment! ;-)

Hi Trish,
I was delighted to meet you in person at the Siwa bazaar. We are in Seoul on a diplomatic posting for 3 years. I stumbled across your blog while we were still in New Zealand. As a mum of two young children I really appreciated (and still do!) your enthusiastic and positive approach to living here in this city. Thanks for passing on all the great information and your insights on living in Seoul.
Sarah

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
