This past week

So, this past week has been not very eventful. On Thursday it was my friend's birthday. So, with all the maturity we could muster we duct-taped him and carried him through the city. This weekend I went on a membership training exercise with the International Youth Committee (club that organized exchange students) The group rented out a traditional Korean guest house for us and we went for the weekend. It was a mixed group of exchange students and Yonsei students so I now have some Korean friends.

This is Na Yeon our incredibly cool group leader.
And here is Song Shik (my newest crush) and John (duct-tape boy)
And our whole group 1, Team Ya! (Ya=Hey! in English) All of use slept in one room and once again we were on the floor with a blanket and a pillow. (Be thankful for western beds)
So, here is a look at the guest house. It's just outside of Seoul (about an hour away from Yonsei) And is into the mountains.
The room from the outside
And from the inside. We had to cook our own meals, so here we're making fried rice for dinner.
A guest house usually has a sauna to use. So, guests get special clothes (pajamas) and generally wear these during their stay.
And another look at the mountains.

JK, What a life! The guest house looks so pretty and well cared for! Too bad about the hard floor, but you're young. You surely must not be planning to still be there to celebrate your birthday next summer. Otherwise, you'd never have duct-taped a friend to celebrate HIS birthday---may be pay back time come June. Need to think about such! Of course, we could manage that here! (there's plenty of time to muster up maturity, by the way!)Have a good time but stay safe. Love, bj
