First off, Happy belated Merry Christmas! I know it's late, but Christmas hasn't exactly felt like Christmas since some point in high school. Being in Korea, without family, makes that even worse. And the fact that I did nothing I wouldn't normally do makes it not feel like christmas. Maybe I should re-evaluate my expectations for Christmas and this woudn't be an issue, but it's all good.
For Christmas Eve, Brittany called and said let's go to this champagne party that was supposed to have all you can eat, all you can drink. It was all you can eat, but the food consisted of saltines and cheeseballs. It was not worth it at all.
Christmas Day, Erin came over and we proceeded to wander around Busan, mainly looking for Thai food. However, no such luck. We settled for this makkeoli place with Korean pancake (pajeon) and fried squid legs. We then checked out a couple "parties," but for the most part did a lot of people watching.
Then Erin and I on Boxing Day were greeted by Brittany and her dog in the morning. I skyped with my family and we hung out at Sinsegae all day. I met up with Emily and her fiancee for coffee, which was nice. They have been here 6 months and this is the first time we have gotten together which is surprising. After Ashleigh and Liz came down. We went to a sauna. Loved it. I was so amazed at how comfortable all the women were with walking around completely naked. It was definitely an experience. Very relaxing and I would most definitely do it again.
Today was supposed to be orphanage day. However, there really were so many people signed up, we were actually unable to go. That was kind of lame. But we hung out on the beach and saw the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It was really interesting how they combined like 5 different actors into one character including Heath Ledger, who died 2 years ago.
All in all, it was a nice weekend though very little emphasis on Christmas.
