The Weekend

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Congrats, I am going to skip this topic of updates since it seems every other expat already cared to do so. In other news it is 26 January which means the following. . .

1. This past weekend we went to an ice festival in Hwacheon. I caught two fish and then proceeded to whack them against the ice to "lessen their suffering." At least they tasted good. Photos will be shared soon.
2. I have just passed 5 months in Korea and am starting to look seriously at prospects for August when I plan to return. The plan of course is changing week by week and my options seem similar to those I had this time last year. On that same note I submitted my first fellowship application as of last Monday!
3. It snowed in the city this weekend and Korea has yet to discover the snow plow.
4. I went to church with Grace and Tom last weekend, it was refreshing to be in the environment. We then went to lunch with Tom's family and I was sent home with two months worth of sweet potatoes!
5. My birthday is in one month and I have mixed feelings about entering the next year of life.
6. My little cousin and aunt both got facebook accounts in the past week.
