| Our school is in a new section of Daegu knows as Esiapolis. The school was the first thing built, and since we have been here there have been 4 more construction projects started: a clothing and textile design college across the street, a building for and the Daegu Board of Education, another school, and an office park. When we first arrived in October this mall was still in the shell stage; there was concrete and rebar everywhere. Well, this past weekend the mall opened. This giant sculpture marks the entrance way to the mall, which is an outside style mall. Needless to say, it was packed! http://www.esiapolisthesharp.co.kr/1km/sub1.asp |

| This large float drove around the lower courtyard followed by several large characters. You can just see Picachu in the background. |
 |
| The famous Daegu superstars Mickey and Minnie were there. |
 |
| Two we couldn't identify helped Winnie the Pooh along. |
 |
| The kids got in line to do face painting. You should have seen the selections for pace painting. There were 6 kids ahead of us in line and we waited about one hour for our turn. |
 |
| R-Man went with the Wal-Mart low prices guaranteed SMILEY FACE, which took about 11 minutes to paint on his face. |
 |
| Pooks got this orange cartoon guy from Korean TV and his pink girlfriend... wait time 24 minutes. Those in line behind her were not thrilled. |
 |
| This has to be the most intricate and elaborate face painting we have ever seen. There were beautiful multi-colored butterflies, rainbows with glittery clouds, black cats, they were AMAZING! Compare that to the worst face painting- StoryLand, in Glen NH, where you can get a heart or a balloon in about 8 seconds. They do not mess around there. |
 |
| Low Prices Guaranteed |
 |
| This took longer to paint on than it took Pooks to ruin. In 4 minutes she was crying that a few drops of water got on it. |
 |
| These dancers were twirling giant fans like mad. |
 |
| The center common area. The mall has many sporting goods shops, tons of expensive clothing shops, a Body Shop, nail salon, movie theater, grocery store, and TGiFridays. |
 |
| I just love these Konglish-isms |
 |
| And of course, no Lotte Mall is complete without a Krispy Kreme... |
 |
| ... and two happy kids always willing to go shopping :) 53 days until we are back in the USA! |
