My baby is gonna be a Man!







Yesterday my little brother joined the army. He had been studying fine arts in a university in Seoul for 2 years, and decided to join the army before it's too late (he's just 21, though). 
As it's known, in Korea it's obligation to join the army for the men aged over 18 years due to the political situation, and they spend more than 20 months in the military life. I never had imagined it would come the day to my little bro, besides, as I'm in Spain I couldn't keep him company. 

Anyway, not as I concerned, he looks fine in those pictures. However, what a strange to see Minhee with this short hair? He seems like a monk! haha... I really hope that he gets used to the new life as soon as possible. 


The other story.

When I was arranging pics that I had taken, I found these. The Package from my sweet mother!




I was so happy with things that she had sent me. That yellow thing is chrysanthemum tea! It works like a heaven when you wanna take a deep sleep. 


Dried filefish fillet! She sent me this for Boris and Che cause they love it. As soon as we unpacked the package, we finished a pack of this. Yammy!

 

Two packs of chrysanthemum tea, the closer shot. I made a liquor with those flowers for my roommates.


Some seasoning for soup, black-bean sauce, curry and dried rice porridges. 


Mini size Sesame oil, Gochujang (Red pepper paste) and Ssamjang (a mix of soy bean paste and Gochujang)


Two packs of brown seaweed for seaweed soup!


Two pack of dried laver for Kimbab.


A cellophane noodles for Japchae.


And a pack of dried cuttlefish. (Actually I don't like the smell of this, but it's really delicious if you eat this with a cold beer)

Thanks mama again, and don't worry about Minhee. He'll get over everything because now he's adult enough.  At least he'll get some lessons from the big change, so to speak, will realize the importance of family, I hope.
