Happy Chuseok Folks!

The irony, btw, is that this is the only dress that I *fit* into while non pregnant and 7 months. And the funny thing is, I don’t even show a belly in this one. Oh Korean modest fashion sensibilities. The Hanbok is the only Korean dress that *doesn’t* make a woman feel fat. It just makes *every* woman look fat.

This nun took care of me 10 years ago.

Plus she got me just a little bit drunk on a delightful plum flavored liqueur.

God bless the kindness of strangers.

Also, if you must know, she said “Oooh La La” when delightful French panties that my friend Felita had purchased for me the week before, exploded out of my suitcase as I was settling in and unpacking my stuff at the convent.

So yeah. True story.

French nuns. Me. Panties. Plum Liqueur. “Ooh La La” and 9/11/01.

I know, not your typical story or experience, but definitely a memorable one.
