meme restaurant

I never made it to the Busan aquarium on Saturday :( BUT... I did find MeMe organic food restaurant! Yay me! After wondering around the beach with no idea how to get over the barrier of trees, I stumbled upon a tourist information center. The lady inside was very helpful.

Graduation

February 9, 2012 By Tamara

Yay! The 3rd graders are graduating on friday (02/10/12). But honestly I only teach 1st and 2nd graders so I'm pretty much like whatever haha.
