What's been going on

My mom mentioned that I haven't posted anything in two weeks. That's mostly because I'm pretty lazy as of late, and I didn't think anything particularly interesting has happened. Definitely no more pictures of Rain without his shirt, which is a total bummer.

So here's what's been going on:
- It's freezing here. Literally. And it reminds me how much I dislike winter.
- A couple of weeks ago we went to a professional basketball game and my dream came true; really tall Korean men. Unfortunately they were all on the court so I couldn't actually interact with them. On the bright side, Korean fans are pretty much awesome and super loud. I fit right in, except for the whole being white and redheaded thing.
- I ate some delicious Indian food on Saturday - yum.
- I went out with my Korean friend Chris (real name Sung Cheon). We met up with his friend Seun Cheol who owns this really fancy salon; we're talking rock inlaid entry way, and separate rooms for hair cutting, hair washing, and facial stuff. Seun Cheol took us to an equally fancy restaurant with cool chandeliers and water ponds. And he paid for the whole thing. I felt like I was in a Korean drama. He also told me I'd look better without bangs; he asked me to pull them back and then told me I have a beautiful forehead.
- I bought a jump rope in an attempt to get into shape, only to realize that the ceilings in my apartment are too low. I may pump myself up, bundle up, and go out side to do it, but like I said it's freezing. We'll see how it goes.

New Year's Rain

Happy New Year everyone (a little late). My new year's here in Seoul started off with a lot of rain... But I don't mean precipitation. I mean the Korean pop star Rain. Jessica, her little sister Gail, and I went to a Rain concert to start the year off right - and boy was it right. Most epic new year's ever!!! He was cute (besides the oddly permed hair), funny, he sounded good when he sang, and the boy's got some moves - I need to learn some of his sweet dance moves.

Waiting excitedly for the show to start.

RAIN!!!! In some sweet army pants.

Rain in some even sweeter plaid pants. Just too cute. And I want his shoes...

Rain singing.

Rain without his shirt on (which he did a couple of time to appease the ladies). Probably the most epic part of the concert. And can you tell that his pants and shoes are sparkly? Awesome!

The concert ended at 2 am, and afterward we had to walk for an hour because the metro was closed and there were hordes of people trying to get a taxi. We finally managed to flag one down and he was kind enough to blast the heater for us. But it was all so worth it. Rain - I love you.
