What I did with my tme off ...

I did get a new travel agent and I will have my visa to China by the 21st of this month. I will be planning my trip for the 26th of February. So, over my long and luxiorous break, where I didn't have to work for a week, I accomplished very little. I worked out, so I'm keeping up with that ... yeah I think that might be it. Oh wait I made a new friend on the subway who speaks Korean. His Canadian best friend has moved away, so I think if I become his new best friend I could practice my Korean with a native speaker. Olleh! Olleh (Pronounced olay, like the spanish one) is from this korean ad. It's spelled that way because it's a telephone company ... did you see it was hello backwards. Glorious...


Also, On break I visited Whitney, who lives in Hwajeong. It was AWESOME! I played one of those claw machines and immediately won, not once, but twice! What to do with two pooh bears? Give 'em away my friends, and make new friends. Here's a few photos of my visit.
Behold, the christmas ram and Ilsan, this is where the shenanigans of the evening began...

Then here's where I won the two poohs, one of which I promptly gave away to the first couple I saw. Following that you can watch Pooh's downward spiral into drink and gambling. The photo's you've seen are the brilliant documentary and photo stylings of Whitney. I brought a camera, but the battery died as soon as I tried to turn it on.

That night ... and the next day she watched my own downward spiral as I wasted ten thousand won trying to recapture my glory. It was all for naught, but people ten thousand won is like 8.91 U.S. dollars.

Caption 3: Day Two of my addiction...

Not exactly a fortune, but a lot to spend on a claw machine. I have to get ready for work, but I promise to write more. After all I haven't even gotten to the part of my break where I went and visited Alicia and saw the Seoul Museum of Art. Here's a preview of the good times with her..
