Holiday break!

What a weekend it has been! My weekend is just coming to an end because of the wonderful holiday! Let me start by saying I learned how to get to Busan friday and I went back 3 times! :-) Friday night: I went with a few friends to Busan to hear Gold Panda at Fabric and danced until 2 am! It was pretty crazy but fun! Then went to Siana's to stay the night...she lives in Busan. The next morning we all went back to Changwon and Siana came and we went shopping in Changwon....I bought volleyball shoes and a awesome new backpack! Also, I got these awesome addidas slip ons and I was wondering why I was wearing a 7 shoe and realized that I was having to buy men's shoes here because they dont make women's sizes big enough! hahaha! Siana and I found Kraze Burger and had a great time! After that we met up with some of the other foreigners who were going to eat Samgyeopsal...it was wonderful! The next day I woke up early and decided to go to starbucks to use the free wifi....when I got there I ran into one of my friends and his old co teacher.....enjoyed starbucks for a few hours and then went exploring changwon! While we were out we discovered this machine where you can arm wrestling game...of course I had to try it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPlArw2kt8k&feature=youtube_gdata_player here is the video for your enjoyment.....Also, I wanted to take pictures in the photo booth because that is really popular around here! hahaha It was so funny! After you get the pictures taken you can decorate them! What a blast! After that we decided to get some donuts and Patbingsu from Mister Donut....which I was amazed by the animations that were on the tvs in the place! hahaha! after that we went walking around and found the sportsplex and then went back to Lotte to the movie....We saw Planet of the Apes....pretty corny but good! After the movie we went to Emart...which was a mad house because of Chuseok and the store would be closed on monday! So I bought some stuff for monday! When I got home my landlord's daughter was outside with her little girl and she asked me if I would join them for lunch the next day! Of course I said yes and had a great time the next morning....I am not exactly sure what all I ate but it was very good and it was nice to be around a family! My other neighbor named Matthew came! It was very nice! After that I went home and started learning the Korean alphabet....It didnt take as long for me to learn it as I thought it was....so one hurdle down! Yesterday I was out and about when I got an email to go to the beach with Siana....so of course I wanted to go! So we went to the beach yesterday...by the time we got there it was only about an hour or 2 left of the sun so I decided to go back today! I got up really early and got on the bus! was at the beach by 830 am and was finished with my run by 915....then I enjoyed the sun until 12.....rode the bus back! It was awesome! I have never lived so close to the beach before! :-) I am a bit sunburned today...but it is ok! I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for dinner tonight....I ate a sandwich for lunch and I am already hungry! hahaha! Maybe I will venture to one of the restaurants in my area and get some food! :-) The PC room is so crowded! hahaha! I am hopefully going to get my cell phone and my internet this next week! I am looking forward to only having a 2 day work week! Tomorrow is volleyball club night and friday all the teachers are staying to play after school....even the vice principal and principal.....I am missing not being able to call my fam and friends but that will all be different as soon as I get internet!! :-)
