Still waiting on the Kraft Dinner

Though this weekend was plagued with homesickness... overall it was a very busy and fun couple of days.
As I had written earlier... on Friday I went to WA BAR (pronounced WABA) and met up with my friends. Unlike last friday, this one was more subdued... with both the liquor and the partying. Not only because I had taken 2 of my ESL students with me... but also because I was extremely tired from my work week.
I tried Soju for the first time. This is the Korean National drink and is often referred to as the foreigners nightmare... unlike tequila (which I adore btw) Soju tastes like water (well with a hint of nail polish remover in it) and there in lies the problem. It is easy to drink a lot of it (ok, too much of it) because it tastes basically like nothing and costs about $1 (USD) for a bottle about the size of a beer bottle. Since you shoot the stuff or mix it... it is really easy to pass your limit... and many a foreigner have woken up the next morning cursing the drink and praying to the porcelain toilet Goddess. I was pretty lucky though... I stopped at half a bottle... and though it gave me the weirdest buzz ever... I am pleased to say no hangover as of yet. Chelsea 1-Soju 0!
Since none of us got home until about 5am on Saturday morning... Saturday was basically spent sleeping. Though at 5:30pm we all met at the CGV (cinema complex) to see Mr and Mrs Smith. Overall it was a good film (slow in starting) but once the film got into it.. it was really good. Not to give too much away... but there is this dance sequence (tango) between Brad and Angelina that was just soooo hot! No skin was shown (I hear the cries)... but the way they interacted with one another.. it was a silent sexiness. Still looking for my silent sexiness... but it was nice to live vicariously through them for the moment.
Sunday, we had planned on visiting The Korean Folk Village in Suwon. This is a traditional village that has not been touched by any technology. Though it has now been turned into a tourist attraction... I have been told that it is absolutely gorgeous and provides both amazing entertainment and pictures. Unfortunately, none of us realized that Suwon was at the other side of the city. Since we had left Ori at about 1:30pm and had only made it about half way when 3pm rolled around... decided that we would abandon our Suwon trip this weekend and go shopping in Myeong-dong (we are going to go to Suwon next Sunday... and this time leave at like 8am). Myeong-dong is the touristy shopping spot for Japanese tourists.. so it is loud... busy... and crowded (definitely not for the faint of heart nor the claustrophobic). I managed to buy only a hat... but all in all it was a lot of fun.
Now I am back to reality. 6:30am class! I think that next month perhaps this class will be easier to get up for.. since I will have established a routine... but right now it is a fight in the morning.
I am very much looking forward to the 30th. Since the end of the term finishes on the 29th... I will be having a four day weekend. Not sure what I will be doing... perhaps a bus tour of Korea (?).
Anyways that is all for now. Cam gave me a box of KD, but it was expired... so I thought that I better not chance it. Oh well... I'll just have to wait for that care package from the parents in Canada (hint hint)!
