Happy New Year

---

Well, it is Chinese New Year, and its pretty nice at the moment because everyone seems to have hightailed it out of Seoul. I can actually get on a subway without having to push myself into the car...haha. Last night a bunch of my friends and I; Karla from Canada, Tim from Canada and his friends Jeff and Devon, Mike and Anna from England, Corey from Canada and his wife Rebecca from New Zealand. It was great, quite an international crowd hanging out in an Irish Pub in Korea....haha Kind of an oxy-moron. We had a great time, Mike and I were drinking beer from North Korea (I know shame on us for supporting the communist beer....) and I made to bulleyes in darts, pretty cool....Today is actually a really nice day, kind of a prelude to spring, hopefully. Tonight I'm going out with my friend Audrey from Boston. All I can say is thank god its a three day weekend. I needed the break...I was starting to have dreams about little kids yelling "Jenniper" (there isn't an f in Korean, so they pronounce it like a p)....so I am ready to enjoy myself. I'll write more later! -Jen

Hey!
Hi Jen!!! yay blogs and keeping up with people! i'm so jealous that you're actually doing something like this, i can't even tell you...you're going to have to give me ALL the details when you get back, 'cause i'm thinking of doing it myself. on a different note: i have a friend from Canada, named Tim, who is teaching in South Korea...could we possibly know the same Tim?!?! would you do me a huge favor and ask him if he met five kids from texas in prague this summer and then spent two weeks traveling with them? thanks! :) keep having a blast!!
