I will admit to being disappointed in myself for my lack of blogging these past few months. This doesn’t mean that the winter months have left me completely bored and lonely, though they have perhaps slowed things down a little.. and maybe made me a little lazier. However, there’s still been time for adventuring:
1) Attending a coworkers wedding: an opportunity to experience the true Korean ceremony, which involved sharing shots of Soju with the bus driver at 2pm.
2) Working Christmas day, but still managing to celebrate the holiday festively: a virtual present opening with my parents and siblings, a wonderful Christmas breakfast and afternoon with Lynn, and a delicious traditional dinner with fellow foreigners.
3) Welcoming 2008 in a typically outrageous fashion: ringing in the New Year in the back of the cab, obnoxiously screaming at passers-bys and harassing the cabdriver, and all this before we even made it to the bar for the real gong show to begin.
4) Partying with my director and learning the secrets of his past: his #2 hit on the Korean charts in 1997, his attempt at Priesthood, and his childish personality that had frolicking around the department store and spending money on an air rifle bb gun (and plenty of drink, food and norae) instead of paying us on time.
More unforgettable experiences to appropriately conclude 2007, and welcome 2008!

number 2 korean hit??!!! NO WAY! Shut up - have you korean-googled it to confirm?
well, we were convinced when he sang it to us in the norae bang.. then Jackie tried to find it on naver and we were unsuccessful. Still, it's too good to pass up, so I'm going to keep on believing.
