A Week Off!!!! What To Do? What To Do?

Saturday night I went for dinner with Tracy, Holly and Damien at our galbi restaurant in Yeonsu. We shared some food, drinks and laughs and then Duncan joined us as dinner finished. After dinner we headed to Mad Max for more drinks and chatter. Of course, we had to end the night at a noraebang, which is always good times. We decided to do it in partners, so each person had to sing with everyone at least once. We only did karaoke for about an hour before we all got too tired and called it a night. Sunday was a really chill day as well. I slept in and then headed back to Tracy and Holly's area to have dinner with them, Damien, Duncan and Carolina. We ate shabu shabu, which I hadn't had in ages, so it was a nice treat. After, dinner we headed over to the movie theatre to watch, "He's Just Not That Into You." We had some time to kill before the movie, so we just hung out, bought snacks and then headed into the theatre. The movie was really funny and it had it's moments, but I can't say that I would ever own it. I headed home after the movie to get a good's night sleep. Lucky me, I have this week off because it's spring break for the students and there would be nothing for me to do at school. Monday I took advantage and slept in before meeting my friend Lisa for some lunch and catching up. We hung out for a while before she had to head to work and I had to go the bank and grocery store. I decided to just take it easy Monday night, so I watched a movie. Tuesday I headed to Seoul to meet up with Rudy who I haven't seen since November. We met at Lotte World in Jamsil and ended up never actually making it to the amusement park because we got distracted wandering around, eating and chatting. Lotte World reminded me exactly of West Edmonton Mall in Canada, just as expensive to enjoy the adventure park, skating, etc, but the shopping at West Ed is way better. The amusement park is inside and outside, they have an indoor ice rink, a swimming pool, bowling alley, hotel, shopping, eating, etc.

This is a picture of me at Lotte World with the ice rink in the background.

The ice rink here was bigger and seemed better than West Edmonton Mall, but it could be that less people were on it and skating isn't exactly a sport that Koreans are coordinated for. It's not on the top of their list of things to do or be good at, looking good 24/7 is definitely the top of that list.

Rudy is a smoker, so when we headed outside for a smoke break we noticed this sign on the wall that said "No Smoking." However, Rudy smoke there anyways and we thought it would be funny to get a picture of me with Rudy's smoke in my hand by the no smoking sign, since everyone knows I don't smoke and I'm highly against it. It's a dirty dirty habit!

We ended up spending 6 hours together at Lotte World before we both realized we needed to head home. I had a lot of fun just chilling out with Rudy and actually being able to spend some alone time with her. I forgot how much fun we have together when we actually hang out. Today, I slept in again and then decided that it was about time I cleaned my apartment. It took me about three hours to clean my apartment pretty much spotless. I'm sure I could have cleaned it faster, but I took breaks in between cleaning. I met up with Tracy and Holly for dinner in Yeonsu and now I'm chilling at home and about to head to bed because I have a busy day at Costco tomorrow...
