woops.

Long time no update. Oops.

This past week has been awesome. It was great having Scranton over to visit. I've really been starting to miss people from home so having a familiar face around was great. She had a great time too so hopefully that'll help convince more people to come out to SoKo.

This weekend was pretty rad (yes rad, Adam and I are bringing it back). There were 2 parties on Saturday that sort of merged into one. The first was sports themed and the second was 90's themed. I tried to cover both bases by making a jersey for a Pog tournament. What a night that was. After LSG we went to noraebang to show Scranton just how great it is.

Monday was another long night as well. A bunch of us went to LSG for Lizzie's going away party. We also celebrated Scranton's second to last night. Monday night finally ended at 3am after some more noraebang. Tuesday morning was not such a good time.

Dispersed in between were visits to awesome restaurants. Meat Home, an all you can eat cook it yourself buffet of meat and other tasty things, Vietnamese make your own nime chow and noodles, and Galbi, Korean short ribs. All that pretty much negated the South Korea kimbap and kimchi diet and workout plan haha.

This week was wicked light at school. Monday and Tuesday were regular class days. Yesterday and today were/are midterms (no class for me but I still have to go), and tomorrow is the start of Chuseok so I have it off. Chuseok is a 3 day holiday that celebrates Korean Thanksgiving. Everyone goes to their hometowns and spends time with family. This being said, the whole country pretty much shuts down. I'm going to E-Mart this evening with April to get some food so I don't starve to death this weekend. Saturday, however, is the Chuseok feast at LSG. Matilda (one of the Korean owners) is making a HUGE dinner for all the foreigners who aren't traveling around. A lot of my friends are going to Japan, Jeju, Busan, or Seoul. It would've been nice to go somewhere but I need a more or less quiet weekend at home.

Speaking about traveling, I started to think about where to go for winter break. Thailand seems to be in the top running. On the agenda there would be a full moon rave (google it and tell me it doesn't sound like the best thing ever), and a trip to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat. I was also asked about India. Not one of my initial destinations, but when am I ever going to get to go to India again? Yeah, never. We'll see. I have a lot of time to figure things out.
