Hi!!!
Sorry for the lack of posts... Things has been crazy busy and we still don't have our own internet at home. More stories and pics will be up really soon!!!
On Friday, we went out to a bar where other foreigners hang out and we were able to meet lots of new people!! They go there every friday, and I think once a month they have a quiz night (which is what we got to take part in). Mostly though, everyone just hangs out, drinks, plays darts, talks.. you know, typical bar stuff. There were a lot of other Canadians, which was cool. We also found out that they organize things like poker nights, soccer games, ball hockey, etc... so lots of stuff to keep busy with!!! All in all, it was great to meet all of these new people!!
On Monday we leave for Japan to do our Visa run. We will take the train to Busan and then take the Fairy over to Fukuoka, Japan. When we come back we should have internet and phone shortly afterwards... which means lots of stories and pictures for the blog!!! Japan should be fun. We have an entire evening and then the next afternoon to explore, and knowing me, get lost, I can't wait!!
So far, We are beginning to try more and more Korean food each day... super tasty!! Last night everyone at work was taken out for dinner. We went to this 'Korean BBQ' place.. really good!! Everyone sits (on the floor) around the table where there is a big burner in the middle of the table. They bring out the meat (we had pork) and you get to cook it yourselves. The table is covered with side dishes like kimchi (lots of different kinds), rice, garlic, spicy sauces, lettuce, etc. The main way to eat it (but not the only way) is to cut the meat up into bite size pieces, when cooking it, and then wrap it inside a piece of lettuce, either by itself or with some other types of side dishes. You don't have to eat it this way, you can eat it on its own which is also good!!
Trevor and I tried to go out to the same type of restaurant a few days before, but we had a little bit of difficulty ordering!! hahah...
Nonetheless, the food is still really good!! SO far, my favourite is Kimbap (very similar to sushi)!! Oh and by the way, there IS chocolate milk here!!! (phew!!) We also found out that Welches not only makes grape soda, but also Strawberry soda!!!!! So I've got my drinks covered!!
Well, enough about food!! I have some really good pics, which I promise will be up shortly, with stories that are not about food!!
In the meantime, I'll be in Japan if anyone needs me!!!

Take care, love you, miss you, be safe
