HUFS Foreign Faculty BBQ Party (part 2)

Even though it's a BBQ party, vegetarian food was abundant...endless selection to choose from. Well, some of our friends from the States and India were vegetarian..and we're like...yeaah. Me, too. what a relief.

The whole parking lot was turned into a party that night. The music's soothingly echoing over the air...while we kept on getting to know one another. yes, I saw some new faces in the neighborhood. So, that's the whole idea of having this party in the first place... 

to give us some chances to get to know more... 

Now..this is the real BBQ corner. The only corner that I didn't need to get close to.^^ 

Got up to my room and snapped a picture from above. The nights' still young and ...it turned out that the incoming friends kept on changing. 

about the kids. Well, they SPEAK Korean. Instead of speaking English as their main communicating tool, they use Korean language--which is not surprising since most of them attend Korean schools.^^ It's quite astonishing in a way. 

Hmm..where were the others. I knew that there should've been more than this.  

During the night, they never stopped playing around and it's a relief to know that they got along so well. 

While we--the adults-were talking over a diner...the kids --on the other hand-- could not just stay still...they kept on moving about. 

It's almost 10 and time to say goodbye... 

But not for the kids. Oh, well....

let them play, then.^^

HUFS Foreign Faculty Autumn BBQ

It is truly a time-honored tradition that dates back to somewhat distant in the past.^^ 

on September 27th, yes...the tent with lots of flapping flags over it was ready. 

At about 6 pm, more and more people were pouring in. Drinks, food, desserts, main dish, snacks...even beer and wine were available.   

Since each family brought the original recipe or the traditional food from each country, we had a colorful variety of food. 

oops..the same picture.  

Everyone's happy, for sure. Kids along with their parents gathered around the table full of anything we could imagine from a BBQ like this. 

It's our 2nd BBQ party in the apartment since the first time we moved in almost 2 years ago. Hmm..this looked nice. 

As night fell, more and more people came and went into the parking lot where the party was being held. Some were sitting and chattering, while the others were standing talking... 

Others were simply sitting with their kids... 

I guess..this is the only picture with me on it.

The plates began to be filled and refilled.

and....the idea of meeting one another was a great one, since we may not know who they really were although we're in the same complex. That's the er...too bad, eh?

that's the idea behind this so-called BBQ party.

but..where's the BBQ? It's at the other side of the corner of the party where I would not need to even come close to.^^
