Sorry!

I just noticed that my last post was over three days ago. There really isn't an excuse for it, I just got busy. Or rather, I didn't get busy. I was so overwhelmed with the mundane that I hardly had anything to write about... so I didn't. Beyond finishing James Patterson's Cross, and moping around the house for a few days, I did some publicity writing for a few friends, tried to tie up some loose ends here and there via e-mail, and slept. A lot.

But I'm back. Without a camera, but I'm back.

Today was an excellent day. I woke up this morning and Dr. Kwon asked me if I wanted to go with Jun to the Korean Folk Museum. I know, I know, it doesn't sound that great. But since today was Memorial day and I didn't have any lessons, I figured I'd better get out of the house one way or the other. So Jun and I went to the Korean Folk Museum and the Korean Palace Museum. It was a ton of fun; I learned a lot about traditional culture here, and a little bit of historical information. There were guards dressed in traditional garb, and the entire thing the restored Korean Palace. I wish I had a camera, but the battery was dead. I got off a few shots, but I can't access them until I charge up the battery.

After the Korean folk museum, Jun and I went to McDonalds (where he ordered two super-sized fries and four chicken McNuggets for us) and went to his grandparents' apartment. We ate and I went shopping. I realized that the jeans I brought to Korea are on the verge of falling apart. Literally, I can see my knees through the not-yet torn fabric. So I bought some new jeans from a store called Bang Bang. They're pretty nice, and for only 25,000 won, too.

I went back, had a great Korean meal, and then I went with Jun, Juns' grandmother, and Ceri to the tallest building in Seoul. The entire floor was an observation tower, and you could see practically the entire city from there. It was night and everything was lit up, and we were 60 stories in the air... it was great.

Jun's grandmother invited me to go to a "salt bath" with her and a friend tomorrow. I have no idea what this means. All I know is that she is going to try to make my once-white but not pink clothes white again (stupid red sock) and feed me more food.

That's all I have for now,
