Busy, but not much new

Greetings everyone,

Well, we had fairly normal weekend to the effect that we didn't even take any pictures. The week before was filled with so many meetings that we didn't get home until late every night, so we felt pretty darn exhausted by the week.

Here's what we did-

Friday night, we went out for some Mexican food and then to an Irish pub for beers for a coworker's birthday. Jen and I cut out early and went home for some much needed rest. In the morning, we awoke and traveled up to Namhansanseoung for a quick hike with about 20 teachers and their families. Jen and I raced home afterwards to quickly clean up because we had somewhere to be by 5 PM back up in the city. We met JH and Kim (Cork's friends) in Gangam by 5 and they drove us to an area called Apgujeong. Here, we saw Seoul at its most prosperous. Endless super fancy shops and expensive everything. We ate some Japanese food and then walked around for a bit. We made it home by 10 PM.

We woke early because we had to make it all the way back up into the city for a 10 K funrun by 9 AM. The race was called the Terry Fox Run (click here). We enjoyed running along the Han River and supporting a worthy cause. Oh funny thing though...after the race they gave us some food like most races do; however, the food they gave us were cold bacon-double-cheesburgers. HA! So, I ate 2, of course. Anyway, afterwards we went to Dongdaemun market which is gargantuan. We ended up arriving home pretty late.

Other news, we bought 3 month memberships to the sauna facility in our building. Now, we can roast everyday!

Have a good week.
