Updates

Hey all!

I figured I was due for an update on this thing. Not too much is new here. I have been keeping busy at school for the most part. We are in our last few weeks of regular school days, I think 4 more weeks, before we move into our winter camp session. This will be 10 days long over the course of 12 days (yes, I will be in school for two Saturdays, lame). My native English speaking co-worker and I will have our work cut out for us but we have a few free work days without classes or Englishtown groups to get ourselves ready. If you have any inspiring themes we could use, let me know!

Korea has been treating me well. It has been nice to fill my weekends up with visiting people, going out to international styled restaurants, and going to bars to meet foreigners. It really helps to be around new people to Korea too. K-pop has not grown on me and I doubt it ever will and as for the meat eating... I have a bit of a deal with my co-worker that I will eat her seafood if she eats my beef, chicken, and pork. I was adventurous at first but I must say that I am a true vegetarian through and through no matter how hard I try to like meat. I am sure I will continue to eat meat as it is served to me but when I can avoid it I definitely do.

This weekend, we went to see Catching Fire, went to a fundraiser, and went to what's called a dog cafe! You go and buy a coffee, which is a pretty steep $5, but then you get to play with the cutest and fluffiest puppies and dogs that wander around the cafe being pet by all the patrons. It was so cute! There is also a kitten cafe too which I'm sure jamie will drag me to soon.

As for future plans, we only get Christmas day off so a bunch of friends we have made will be going to Jamie's place in Gwangju to have a big Christmas Eve feast, have Christmas morning with each other, and then go back to our respective homes. As for New Year's, we only get the 1st of January off so we have not made any big plans for that yet. However, for our winter vacation (January 16th-February 2nd) Jmaie and I plan to meet up with her Queen's friends, Tristan and Jenny, in Bangkok and then travelling to Vietnam for our holidays. We will be booking our flights this week so we are extremely excited about this.
