Christmas at an Orphanage

Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Instead of spending Christmas at an expensive hotel, I decided to go to an orphanage on the outskirts of Seoul to help prepare lunch.


Christmas dinner isn't what you might expect, but we did have mash potatoes, turkey with grazy, and cranberry sauce. To this we added panini pizza, pickled radish, and pasta.




So...do you think Korean children like turkey and mashed potatoes? Well...they liked the mashed potatoes, but they didn't really care so much for the turkey. The big hit of the day was pizza and pasta. They kept on asking for seconds.


Here they come.


One was left outside, but we brought him in.


Here is one volunteer making pizza.


Merry Christmas everyone!
