Best Seoul Weekend Ever

Hey all. I know it's been a while, and I'm a terrible blogger, but check this out. I've just finished my best weekend in Seoul in the three years that I've been here.

FRIDAY

• Bust out of school and head one hour out of the city. Quickly set up tents and enjoy a few hours of rock climbing.
• Enjoy the company of 16 teachers and spend the night camping on the beach of a river.

SATURDAY

• Rain foils our day of climbing so we come back to the city and have a great lunch at Chili's (nothing beats a $14 burger).
• Watch a movie.
• Go to Hongdae and check out 2 live reggae bands and 1 live ska band.

SUNDAY

• Quiet lunch at home.
• Off to watch a skateboarding/BMX demo while waiting for...
• A B-boy breakdance battle interspersed with Hip-hop sets.

Incredible weekend. It finally feels like I'm living in a major world city that has a lot to offer. Other things I've done lately have reminded me of that too. I went to an awesome Picasso exhibit and yet another Korean National Team soccer game. It's been a really sweet year, a lot of good things seem to be happening.

Love,
