Over the weekend, Aska and Zach and Heather and I went into Seoul. I would tell you where if I could remember the names of the places. (Insadong was one of the places). We went to Kyobo books where I bought a beggining Korean book so that Aska and I can start our lessons. She's getting all excited about putting me to the test and assigning me to real-life scenarios. I think it's gonna be awesome and I can't wait to speak Korean!!

I moved into my new officetel last night and it is much cleaner and nicer. Plus, my window looks out onto the street and the bright lights of the bordellos. (I'm not kidding). There's also a large red-orange neon cross on the building directly across from me, so it's a nice combination. Oh, about the "bordellos." Apparently prostitution is pretty common here and if you see several barber poles on a building that are spinning and lit up at all hours of the night, you can be sure that there is some shady business going on inside. In fact, I'm positive that we have this going on in my building. Right next door to the PC bang on the 2nd floor is this nice restaurant-looking type place. (How do you like that English?) However, I only see women in really short and slutty dresses greeting the men in business suits who seem to frequent this "restaurant." There also seems to be a lot of drama going on in there as I often hear yelling at the back door before I see one or more of the scantily clad women abruptly leaving. (Ok, so this has actually only happened twice. But c'mon. I've only been here 3 weeks and I don't even live on the 2nd floor). So....I can only assume.

In other news, it snowed the other night and it was so pretty. But it only lasted a few hours before it all melted. I was sad to see it go. Since then, it hasn't even been that cold outside.

I wanted to talk about Linda, my boss. I absolutely love her. She gets in these hyper moods every once in awhile where she sits in people's laps or spanks people. She is constantly telling me I need to drink beer and that if I need a drinking partner, she's here for me. She also refers to Zach as her boyfriend. She is hilarous. I feel really blessed to have her as a boss. It's about time I have a boss who isn't underhanded or conniving.

Well, that's the update. I had to force myself to write this so I hope you enjoy it!
