The fun just keeps on coming

I've had another fun filled weekend, and this one was even better because I had Monday off for Lunar New Year. It all started late Friday night when we got a bonus at work - some cash and a gift set with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and like six tubes of toothpaste. I'll never have to buy toothpaste again during my stay in Korea.

Saturday we had a singles activity. The first part was a photo scavenger hunt. It was fun running around Seoul with our group taking random pictures of odd things and strangers. Like this guy:


After the scavenger hunt we had pizza, and then it was dance time! There wasn't a huge group but it was still a ton of fun. Everyone was dancing and goofing off and just enjoying themselves.

With having Monday off a couple of friends and I decided to explore some Korean culture. We headed to the National Folk Museum where they had tents for crafts and such. I refrained from making anything seeing as how the tents were crammed with Korean kids. But they also had drum performances outside as well. Like this:




After watching some drumming and even some break dancing we headed into the palace museum called Gyeongbokgung. It is really huge with a lot of buildings all over. Some parts look like this:




After awhile at the palace we had pretty much turned to popsicles because it was freezing. So we went to the bookstore and then to Starbucks for some hot chocolate. It was a lovely if freezing day. And I even found a boyfriend! Check him out, he's very tall...
