Samores and Champagne

The inauguration of Barack Obama took place at 2am on Wednesday 21 November here in Korea. Several of us gathered at my apartment and drank champagne and roasted samores over the two burner range to celebrate the occasion. Huddled around the laptop I streamed the video off of the NY Times website for a live broadcast of the ceremony. It looked very cold on the mall, although I am very jealous of the 1.9 million people that made it out for the ceremony.

We had contemplated going to Unlce Don's (local bar for expats) to ring in the occasion, but




. . . it was cold.
