Its been a wet Sunday in Yeongju. This weekend begins Chuseok, which is the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving. School is closed for the entire week! Jessica and I haven't decided what we're going to do yet, but we want to take full advantage of the free time. We'll probably try to get up to Seoul to have a look around. Maybe go see the beach, either on the east which is the Sea of Japan, or on the west which is the Yellow Sea, across which lies China. Which ever side we pick, its gotta beat the heck out of Myrtle Beach.
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. We got up around 7 to Skype with my parents and grandma. After that we fell back asleep for a little while and then went out for a walk around town...stopped at Dunkin Donuts (of course). we decided that in order to make our little studio apartment feel a little bigger we would remove the doors to the closet. so i bought a screwdriver and we came back home. In the evening Jessica and I walked to a western style bar/restaurant...western, as opposed to the far east, not Tombstone. There was a birthday party for another English teacher in town. it was nice to be able to hear English and talk to other Americans (and a few South Africans and Canadians as well). We started our 30 minute walk back home across town a little after midnight and went to sleep.
Today we slept late again...a little later than we intended. Around 3pm we set out for Homeplus to do a little shopping for some necessities. We got a small cooking pot and a frying pan, and grocery stuff. our little kitchen is starting to fill up. The walk back from Homeplus is a good 30-35 min trek...which when you're carrying 3 full boxes and an awkward broom in the rain, its not a fun walk. But we made it home, dried out, ate a little dinner, and now we're relaxing for evening.
