This weekend has turned out pretty nice. Yesterday, I went out to Songtan and hit the black market for some Jim Beam(Uncle Jim) I got back to Dongtan and Jaeyoun and I hit up Emart.(The cupboard was bare) I felt like crap, because I forgot about a dinner I was supposed to have with a good friend in Suwon, but it was ok. She was writing a paper for her online course(sorry Alicia) Jaeyoun and I ended up going to meet Mikael had a local bar for drinks and a late snack. We made our way back here after a few pitchers of beer where Mikael and I tried to do some damage to said bottle of Jim. Today I am on a mission to clean up this apartment and I have to go get a haircut which is always an adventure in Korea. I always go to the beauty shop with an open mind. I am never quite sure what kind of cut I am going to get. My Korean is strong enough that I can try and explain what I want, but can’t really answer any of the questions they may have. I think Jaeyoun will go with me, so at least she can describe what I want.

I am linking to two new blogs that I have been reading and have been meaning to link to over the past few weeks. First there is Your Daily Shot of Soju. I just find his blog and have enjoyed reading over the past couple of weeks. He has a great weekly blog round up that I usually scour.
I am also adding Joe Seoul Man. I have been reading Joe’s site for awhile, but keep forgetting to link to him. Joe is a University English teacher, has a Korean wife, and has been living in Korea since 2001.

The weather here today is gray and dreary. I plan on trying to be as lazy as possible, except I am being beckoned to begin cleaning up as I type!

I got linked on a Ramen website.
Thanks for the shout out guys. They have a ton of ramyeon information if you are interested.

Jaeyoun and I just downloaded a couple seasons of Law and Order SVU and are in the middle of the first season now. I have watched most of them, but she is just now getting into it.

Jaeyoun and I both have the next 3 days off. I actually don’t have to work till Monday, but her crazy Math Hakwon has class on Saturday. We decided to start the holiday off right, so we stayed out till 7:30am last night. My coworker, Mikael and I started off at a Galbi(갈비) restaurant and met up the Justin from Pavox. We then headed over to the Now bar for awhile and finally ended up at Pavox where Jaeyoun and Jang Sam met us. It was good to see a lot of people that I know. (Thanks for the link Shannon) We moved over to a Gamjatong (감자탕) restaurant at around 6am. Somehow, I spent more money than I needed to, but it was a blast.

Normally, we would have made the trek to Jeju for the holiday, but with us just getting back from America and the fact that she has to work on Saturday; we decided to just stay on the mainland.
We are about to leave for Seoul and will be spending the next couple of days there with Jaeyoun’s oldest sister for the holiday. We have been told that it will be nothing fancy and that we don’t have to worry about doing anything special for the holiday. We will go and hang out tonight and tomorrow. It will be an interesting time for listening and trying to follow the Korean. Usually when I understand what they are talking about and have taken the time to formulate a sentence, they have moved on to a new topic by the time the words leave my mouth. Oh Well! At least my listening skills are improving!

Check out this breezy topic from the Big Ho!
It really made me laugh this morning.

I hope everyone has a great New Year.
