A Spooky Time in Korea

Brief updates.
I apologize for not updating this in a while but odds are if you are reading this I have spoken with you at some point in the last two weeks. This past weekend was Halloween (Happy November!) and nine of us dressed up as the track and field team from the Former Yugoslavic Repuclic of Macedonia (FYROM). Despite this acronym only one person actually asked me what is meant. We made the journey up to Hungdae to a place called Bar Boom for drinks and dancing. It was an excellent night until it dawned on me that I had somehow lost/dropped my camera while on the dance floor. Documentation of this night is being left to others and photos will be posted as they are available.
It was a fun time but I missed the emphasis that Halloween receives in the states. I saw a Christmas tree decorated with pumpkins the other day at Lotte Mart and was thoroughly disappointed that Halloween was not in full effect.


In other news this week is going to be HUGE. Election day is on Tuesday. I get to buy a new camera and it's one week closer to Japan!
