1月31日 Year of the Dog/Ano del perroEste fin de semana fue el ano nuevo lunar... estamos en el an[i]o del perro... esta computadora no me quiere poner los acentos!!! Tuve una fiesta en la casa y llegaron 40 personas!! Mi departamento es super chico y entonces tuvimos que celebrar en el pasillo tambien. Menos mal que mi vecino estaba dispuesto a esta fiesta!
Les cuento que me quedan un par de semanas en Korea. Entonces estoy tratando de hacer muchas cosas antes de irme. Ayer me fui a Seoul otra vez a ver un parque nuevo que hicieron en el centro de la ciudad... se llama Cheonggyecheon y era muy bonito. (http://www.visitseoul.net/english_new/index.htm) Como en todas partes aqui, habia un monton de gente pero igual lo pasamos muy bien! Despues de fuimos a tomar sangria y nos juntamos con mas amigos. Lo pasamos super bien!
This weekend was lunar new year... Happy Year of the Dog! I had a party at my house and there ended up being about 40 people. My neighbour, Buddy, and I know how to throw a good party even in our matchstick box apartments. Since we live in the basement of our school, we have no neighbours to complain about the noise so we had people poured out into the hall. It was a great party.
Since I am possibly leaving Korea in a few weeks, after an unforeseen change of plans, I am trying to get as many things done here as possible. I went into Seoul yesterday to visit Cheonggyecheon and it was really lovely. (http://www.visitseoul.net/english_new/index.htm) As usual, there were many people partaking of the long weekend and the sights of this creek. Regardless of the crowds, we had a wonderful walk along the water. We then made our way to Itaewon and Gecko's bar for some sangria. It was a late night and I feel like I need a rest from the long weekend!!
There are photos available. Photos al lado. 1月26日 OnE nIgHt In SeOuL...Fue el cumpleanos de una amiga este fin de semana y lo disfrutamos muy bien en Seoul!
The day started off as a trip to Seoul on Saturday and ended up being a whole night out. My neighbour, Chris, and I decided to head into Seoul on a sight-seeing trip as my days here are numbered (more on that later). I had never been to Namsan mountain in the middle of Seoul where there is the Seoul Tower. According to my Lonely Planet guide book, it would take about an hour to climb the mountain and to partake of the scenery. They were quite right... you gotta love those books!
Fui a la montana Namsan este sabado con un companero de trabajo y lo pasamos muy bien. Esta montana queda en el centro de la ciudad y hay una torre donde uno puedo ir a ver la ciudad. Fue realmente algo muy bonito y el clima estaba excelente. Las montanas aqui no son como las montanas de Canada... tienen escaleras donde uno va y hay muchas gentes. Hay donde comer y al final hay musica techno para los que estan saliendo del funicular. Subimos a la torre a ver a la ciudad y luego vimos una puesta de sol increible. Fue algo que nunca habia visto en mi vida...
Chris and I set out up the mountain and were soon out of breath. Now, climbing a mountain in Korea is not like climbing the Rockies. There are stairs and little pit stops for shopping, eating and then there's the techno music when you're almost at the top. It's not really a relaxation kind of hike when you're surrounded by hundreds of loud Koreans going up the stairs. But it was really beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a lovelier day.
Pictures are available.
We then went for delicious Thai food at the Thai Orchid in Itaewon and made plans to go dancing for a friend's birthday. Sharifa is a lovely person that I met only a few months ago, from Toronto, working in Seoul. She turned 24... for the 6th time. We started off at the Hilton for Ladies Night where the alcohol was free until 11pm, while our boy friends were paying $10 per drink. We danced up a storm there for a few hours and proceeded to another night club across town, called Bunker. FUN FUN FUN. We danced and danced until the early morn, stumbled home and had fried chicken on the warm floors of Sharifa's apartment. How wonderful.
Luego fuimos a la fiesta de mi amiga en un hotel. Son todas Candienses y muy simpaticas. Lo pasamos muy bien bailando toda la noche. Luego llegue a la casa de mi amiga a comer pollo sentadas en el suelo caliente... aqui se calientan las casas cuando se calienta el suelo. Por eso los koreanos se acuestan en el suelo y comen en el suelo... es algo que me gustaria tener en Canada!!
Hay fotos de mi dia en Seoul.
Besos y hasta la proxima! Hug and kisses... see you next time! 1月9日 Back in KRWell the visit with the family was very short. Seven days in total. It was spent between the houses of my sister, parents and cousin. There were some short trips to Old Navy, Reitmans and the movie theatre but not much else. It was great. My cousins are all doing well as is the rest of the family. And my niece is an angel that I just can't get enough of - I've never met anyone so adorable. Who can complain?
