weekend in Daegu

So I went to Daegu to visit Dory over Children's day weekend.  (May 5th) It was oodles of fun. We cooked things, ate things, and did fun things! This stuff below perplexed us with its Korean only instructions, but we persevered and made it anyway. 

Then we took it to a park with us. We wandered about and then settled down to chill and eat our food.

This is when we found some time for a Claire and Dory photo shoot. 

We look pretty good I'd say!

We found the visitor's center in the park.

Then we found what we were looking for: the bike rental place. 

So we rented a tandem!

After being sufficiently terrified by speeding children and poor steering 

we settled on a bench to watch the children and eat some ice cream.

Then we continued to wander around the park

We met up with Jay and ate some delicious dumplings, kimbop and ramen.

Suddenly out of nowhere Jay produced a can of rootbeer out of his bag.

What a lovely surprise!

We wandered and took pictures. We tried to go to a discussion group. 

Turned up; it was cancelled. 

Went out dancing and honestly saw some pretty crazy things. 

It was enjoyable for sure.

I woke up to find a kiwi waiting for me the next morning. 

and cookies ready to be made

Cookies for breakfast :-0

Then we met up with Jay again (who claims he is an expert shopper) to go to the oldest market in Daegu. He took us there and we wandered saw some interesting things and found some baby clothes...

Subway mall...

There are signs to tell you how many calories you've burned walking in the subway.

Then we walked downtown to the Medicinal Herb Festival

A blanket store on our walk downtown

For the festival a mound of dirt had been put in the road and a load of medicinal herbs were planted. At some point a couple of  hungry rabbits snuck in there and were chowing down on the herbs. Instead of trying to scare them away people were just taking pictures. 

This might be a picture of the last burger I will ever eat.

 It caused so much pain in my belly.

 I guess I can't eat beef anymore.

So this is a brief synopsis of my trip. There is really so much more, but I think facebook covered that, (1) turkish food, where I was the only one who ate anything (2) open mic where I met wonderful people from Wales (3) watching Girls (the show) and Amelie

etc... etc...
