Seoul Lantern Festival

Had a lovely evening with friends, both teachers and non teachers at the Seoul lantern festival.

enjoy.

Enjoying a warmly brisk fall afternoon with Krystal at Caffe Tiamo eating I've cream.

Soaking in this time off.

Spartan Race Korea

Oh my goodness! I never felt I was good enough to run competitively. I always told myself, it's just something I do for myself, I'm not good enough or quick enough to race. But here in Korea I kicked my own butt and did a spartan race. Cuz I'm a balla! 

LIFE HURDLE CROSSED!

Woot woot!

I loved that this race is not about who finishes first but that YOU push yourself, YOU complete the challenges and YOU finish. 

It was an awesome experience. I am totally going to do it again! I'll either do te sprint 5km again, trying to beat my current time (47.25 mins) or increase the length.

The obstacles were cool; wood walls, rope climb, spear throwing, sandbag carry, moat crossing, cinder block raising, tire tossing, running

It was all fantastic.

I am a bit bruised but it was all totally worth it.

Though I didn't train as hard as I would have liked/had intended (was not very impeccable to myself with my word :() 

I still did it!

And I think I'm awesome.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Had a fabulous time at Rocky Horror in Itaewon last night. My costume was not as epic as when I went with Hannay but still real good I think;)

Ended up in Hongdai (?). Was dancing till 5 am. Instead of heading to the jimjubong, I just waited for the trains to start up again at 530 am. Exhausted today. Headache to boot.

Had such a grande time at Rocky! So much so that I reminisced in my dreams about Rocky at home. Woke up thinking I was back in Canada. But I'm not. Two and a half months down and weekends to enjoy ...

Halloween

Basically everyone lives in an apartment in Korea. Trick or treating seems to only occur at school, and only just recently. Our North American holidays are gaining popularity over here though.

The foreign teachers spent Saturday after school to create a truly terrfying haunted house. Not sure why it had to be scary as our kids are Korean age 5-7 (minus a year for North American ages). Heck, I was even scared when they turned out the lights!

I just hope my little ones don't cry!

haircut

Had my hair did today. Overall turned out nicely. One side the layers are too short just like in my last crappy haircut back home. They styled it nicely though. Cut was cheap too! Not sure if it's because it was my first time and/or I'm a foreigner... But it was only 18$!

Minus me looking very tired after Halloween-ing last night I look good.

Nakasan Beach

Stayed in a beach town near Seoraksan after the hike. The can driver was crazy. He drove us in circles to make more money. We refused to pay for the circle driving. He ran into our hotel and yelled at the hotel clerk. Ridonk!

Grabbed decent food. Hung out at the beach a bit. Hiked up to the big Buddha statue an temple area. Had some great company.
