Update from the K-dot

Quick post tonight - feel like I haven't slept in days. And, really, my dad hasn't.

Yep, that's right, the Mooner's in Korea. Crazy as it may be, he decided last minute to hop a 20-our flight to visit his oldest daughter. Pressure's on to show him a good time. So far, he's cleaned my apartment and ate a McDonalds. Give me a break - its only been a day, we'll work on the good times on the weekend. Tomorrow's Friday and it's our first preschool field trip. We're going to some nature reserve. Right now, I'm more nervous than anything. Actually considering trying the skipping rope thing where they hold onto the rope s they walk. Couldn't hurt.

Had an awesome weekend last weekend. Saturday night I went with Patrick to a break dancing show in this artsy district of Seoul. That's right, I'm all about the B-boy style. Actually, it was surprisingly awesome. I didn't know that this break-dancing group was one of the best in the world (Patrick's know's all this - he actually used to teach breakdancing in California). I wish I could post some video on here, but I"ll put some pics up anyway. Man, I wish I could spin on my head. Wait, not really.

The next day Karen and I got up at 6 am to go on this tour to some waterfall in the middle of rural Korea. It was with the tour company that caters to foreign youths living in Korea - met lots of Canadians. We were supposed to go bungee jumping, but the "conditions weren't right", is what they said. I can't say I wasn't relieved. So after that, we went for a bike ride up to this really pretty waterfall (as I said, will send pictures soon). However, after that, they gave us an hour and a half of free time in this crap little town with nothing to do. So what do we do but buy a couple of beers from the convenience store and sit outside. A bunch of people on the tour thought it was a brilliant idea and joined us - there were more than a few hungover people on the bus ride home. But, hey, for a dollar beers, we'll survive.
