The other day I took Min Ji for a walk, in her sweatshirt, to visit Victoria and Kim Chi (who has bronchitis now, the dog that is). We walked by the Super English School, which is a hagwon (private after-school academy). I know the teacher here, an Aussie named Marlina.
Well, the kids were out front before class, they were petting the dog. "How old is she?" "Is it a boy or a girl?" "What's her name?" I answered Min Ji. Well, a middle-school aged girl stood up slowly, with a look of horror on her face. She pointed to herself and in a sad sad voice she said "But MY name is Min Ji." Awwww... she's named after a dog. I don't think she will recover soon. I also don't think that her friends at the hagwon will let her forget either.

there's room in the world for 2 Min Ji's!
Sounds like that realization was a solemn moment for her....
hey dan, what does it say on that sweatshirt of Min Ji's?
you can never be too careful there...
you wouldn't want her walking around with you there wearing a sweatshirt that said, "I'm With Stupid" or something in Korean! ;)
So dan, is little Min Ji starting to get a little stubble on her? or would that be down....
Hmmm...do you think dogs itch when their fur starts to grow out.....?
that is a perfect name you picked there.
time for more pics!
Min Ji's sweatshirt says "paradise paradise" on it. I really would have preferred nothing written on it. But, you make do with what you have at hand. She is starting to grow some hair, little by little. I think that a good diet is helping in that matter.
