3 day weekends rock my soccer socks!

Well, I haven't actually added a blog for a loooong time...so I guess I'll cover Buddha's Bday, as well as the 3 day weekend and the latest saga at the Hogwan. Maybe I'll forget about the Hogwan saga...don't feel like talking about work at the moment. Anyways...didn't too much for Buddha's Bday. Anna and I went to Insadong and saw a bunch of lanterns and stuff set up for the parade, but we had moved on to Gecco's by nightfall...we're never ones to pass up a nice margarita! hehe. This weekend we had 3 whole days!! YAY! No Wishing Well English School for 3 days!!! Anyways, Thursday night we went out, Friday we hung around outside and basically did a whole lot of nothing..but it was a beautiful day so who cares! Saturday it rained cats and dogs...I actually attempted to go running and made it about 30 minutes and I saw water coming onto the path from the river and decided it was time to go home...Sunday we had 2 soccer games! It was sooo much fun. The first team we played was younger university girls, we tied. The second team was against older rougher women. We won that game 3-1. Then we had a picnic! It was pretty interesting because it was on the U.S. base, so we had potato salad, coleslaw and chicken! A real American BBQ!! And the Korean women brought Kalbi, Kimchi and Gimbap..it was hilarious..thats when I realized why exactly Americans are so much bigger..haha. But there was so much laughter and we shared food, ate chicken with chop sticks, had a beer contest with the Korean girls...haha. Good times. All in all a wonderful day.

I Agree
Hey Jen, I totally agree on the food = size thing. My Japanese roommate is like 1/3 my size, and I tell him it is because he only eats rice and no fatty American food. Well, there is some random feedback for ya. I hope all is well in Korea. ~JL
