Totoro!! Toro Toro!! What is his name??

Saturday, December 26th, which is better known as Boxing day back home in Canada, was the day Tiffany Ho returned to Korea after leaving in March when her contract finished. She brought with her, her cousin Angela who was a gem. Her first stopped was Incheon where I played host for them for what I thought would be 2-3 days and it actually ended up being 5 days. I wasn't bothered though because I had air mattresses, food, and all the necessary amenities needed for a luxurious stay. We spent Sunday in China town and Bupyeong and absolutely perplexed by how much snow had fallen in the city.
Tiffany and her cousin, Angela, at Bupyeong station waiting for the train to China town and not enjoying the snow falling. The three of us arrive to China town where the snow was a falling. China town had a GIANT bowl of jaja myeong to offer. I prefer the egg. Coffe was a necessity after our day in the snow, so we headed back to Bupyeong where we enjoyed some hot beverages.
We enjoyed some dinner and drinks after our coffee, but ended the night with some sticker pictures, which are the most amazing things ever. You can play dress-up, choose your backgrounds and decorate your pictures.
The results of our sticker pictures together.
Unfortunately, I still had school to attend to finish off the year, so Tiffany and Angela did there own thing during the week while I was teaching. The snow didn't stop in Korea either, it is the most I have seen in my entire time spent in this country.
This is one of the parking lots at my school where the students are enjoying the snow and it wouldn't be last day to enjoy it. This picture has a better view of the snow accumulating in the field.
I decided to meet up with Tiffany and Angela in Hongdae for some food, drinks, piercings, coffee and noraebang.
We started with some dulkgalbi and soju in a heated outdoor tent. Totoro is the mascot for Tiffany and Angela's trip, they passed him on to me because I was part of their journey and his in Korea. I will cheers to that!
We didn't stay in Hongdae to late because I had a plane to catch the next day and Tiffany and Angela had to be up to leave my place. I really enjoyed there visit and was glad we spent so much time together.
