Seoul Mates

Wouldn't that have been a cute name for my blog if I met some gorgeous, perfect man here? Oh wait, I'm in Asia. Perhaps once I return to South America...

Instead, the title of this post is referring to the friends I made in Seoul this weekend, and the awesome time I had! I spent the day shopping and frolicking around Myeongdong, the neighborhood in Seoul that has the potential to ruin my dream of saving money. Aside from the usual H&M, Forever21, Body Shop, etc, there are a million Korean shops, street vendors, and even a CAT CAFE to suck you in and take your money. Cat Cafe? Stay tuned for THAT post. Later on, we met up with some more people for dinner, drinks, and a night out. We started in Itaewon at a friend's birthday then made our way to Hongdae, where I've been dying to go since I got here. It's a cute little neighborhood with tons of bars & clubs that stay open until the wee hours of the morning. I only made it until 4:30am this time before I rounded up the troops to taxi back to my place for a full fledged slumber party that even included Spice Girls music in the morning.

Friends!

Duh

At what age does it stop being appropriate to take girl pics in the bathroom?

This week at work has been relatively uneventful. Tuesday marked my 1 month anniversary, and I celebrated by opening a bank account and getting my very own Korean bank card. YAY! Science is still my favorite class, and this week I had the pleasure of teaching static electricity. In translation, I got to play with balloons for a whole hour. Blue class went absolutely nuts over those things.

My second Christmas away from home is quickly approaching. I work Christmas Eve, but I plan on spending Christmas Day with good friends & good food and a few Skype dates!
