The day started out with me making mini oreo cheesecakes for Jacob's birthday. I don't have cupcake tins so the cupcakes were a bit misshaped, but it didn't affect the taste at all. I packaged some up to share with our mentees and Kasey. Jacob and I met up and had lunch in Myeongdong at School Food (the "upscale kimbap" restaurant we went to with Hwa Sun, my "big sis"). We ordered a ham and egg kimbap, carbonara ddeokboki (rice cakes) and fried mandu. After lunch we walked around and went to a cafe to relax. Jacob took a power nap and then we took another walk before meeting up with our mentees and Kasey.
Since our official InKAS mentoring program has ended, Eric let us know that we had money left over from our generous donators. Instead of trying to organize a big group event, he split the money to the individual pairs to do an activity on our own. Kasey, Jacob and I decided we'd pool our money since our 3 mentees are siblings and we would be doing activities together. Anyway, Jacob arranged to get the movie tickets for us to see Captain America 2. We didn't realize the Mom wanted to go to the movie with us and she bought her own ticket, however her eldest son was able to get some discounts for her and her ticket was only 2 or 3,000W! The movie was pretty good, but maybe a little bit too intense for my mentee, though she was the one who really wanted to see it. I also felt bad because it was in English with Korean subtitles, so it was probably really burdensome to have to read all the dialog for her. The movie was a little long and it was around 8pm when it was finally over. We decided we'd have dinner together. We got jjimdak, the chicken stew. It was a little bit spicy and the Mom ordered 2 large sized plates for us. It was so much food, considering a large feeds 3-4 and the two little ones hardly eat at all. She asked them to package it up for us so we were able to bring the leftovers home with us. After dinner we walked to the subway and said our goodbyes.
