Hi all! We're back from another great weekend in Seoul, this time to celebrate my 22nd birthday! A group of about 15 girls met on Friday night for a weekend filled with birthday celebration! It was so nice to spend my 5th consecutive birthday with Em, and she really made it feel special even far away from home. This birthday had potential to stir up some feelings of homesickness, but Em really helped me feel the love on this side of the world. On Saturday we spent the day at MyungDong market (just like last time in Seoul) and then went to Itaewon. For those of you who don't know, Itaewon is the foreign district in Seoul and is full of places we have really started to miss in the 3 months we've been here - Subway, Mexican restuarants, Cold Stone creamery, etc, etc!! (Picture a kind of "China Town" for foreigners in Korea?). After heading back to the hostel, I was surprised with a lovely birthday cake from our favourite cafe, "Paris Baguette". It was the perfect way to start a great night on the "town", or, in this case, the 2nd biggest city in the world!!
Birthday surprises! Party hat included!

I think I speak for both Emilie and I when I say we cannot believe it's been more than 3 months since we came to Korea. Since we've been here it seems like we always have some new, exciting adventure to look forward to. Next on the list (besides Harry Potter of course... which comes out a MONTH late in Korea!) is our winter vacation. More to come on those plans soon!
