Merry Christmas from Korea to Thailand
Well, it’s just after midnight now, so we can officially wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas from Korea. In case you weren’t aware, we’re off for a little over a week starting today, and we’re taking the opportunity to relax in Thailand. Add to that, Katie’s parents and sister will be meeting us there (hopefully with plenty of sunblock, although that might not be necessary judging from the weather reports).
Uncle John comes to visit
Last weekend we had our second visitor, my Uncle John. Despite his many travels, he hadn’t been to Korea before so we were happy to show him around a bit. We made into Seoul to see Gyeongbokgung Palace, Myeongdong, and N Seoul Tower for a night view of the city. On Sunday, we stayed closer to home with the Korean Folk Village and Hwaseong Fortress.
Thanksgiving at Outback
Of course, this week was American Thanksgiving, which we missed dearly. We knew going in that this would be tough, but we vastly underestimated the scarcity of turkey in this country. We tried to fill the void, thus, with an Australian-themed American restaurant of choice, but alas Korean Outback was not up to par. Who knew they’d have kimchi on the menu?
The Good Old Days of Michigan vs. OSU
I think this goes without saying, but in a twist of irony I’m going to anyway: it has been a tough year for Michigan football. I guess the depressed expectations and physical distance have dulled the pain for me—us—in particular, but no self-respecting Wolverine would say they haven’t come out of this season licking their wounds.
