special guest~

A few days ago,  I moved to a new villa in Korea.  With the help of my mother and my friends, I was able to complete the move in a few hours.  Whew~~~~

Boxes and boxes of my highly valued treasure….. of course, clothes and shoes from all over the world….  were unpacked and displayed just like the way I like it. 

This morning I walk out of the house to go grocery shopping with my mom to prepare for Chusoek (the Korean Thanksgiving), we spotted a very special guest; a MAGPIE…. for those who are not familiar, kagpies are passerine birds of the crow family, Corvidae. 

A magpie was flying around my window and as we spotted her, she sat on the edge of my window and looked into my room.  My mom says that in Korean culture, Magpies are a sign of good news.  My mother told me that in Korea, people wish to see a magpie for the new years and many say if you see a magpie in the morning, a wanted guest is to visit you.

So we decided to name my magpie, Maggie~  Thank you for bringing luck to me Maggie.  Will definitely update you guys on my Maggie~
