life.

long overdue update.

last friday i stayed in pohang and went to dinner/drinks with a few friends. one by one people went home and i was left out with three of the other new EPIK boys. We walked around down town, played in the arcade for a bit, and then went and played pool for a while. it was nice and mellow. saturday i woke up early and met my husband (i'll explain that one later) at the intercity bus terminal to go to daegu. the closest big city. there we met up with the air plane family (baby and all) and about eight other south african girls. the lot of us walked around daegu in search of various things. several people wanted new lap tops, or cameras. michael and i were in search of clothes. hehe. i need to dress up for work and jeans and t-shirts just don't cut it.

so the husband and i branched off from the group and he had tons of success, boys clothes are easier, but i was finding it a bit difficult. having boobs has never been such a bad thing. i had given up all hope when we spotted a fellow westerner walking across the street with a GAP bag. the husband followed her and asked here where the store was. she pointed, we walked some more and there it was. massive sale and all. i felt a little guilty about buy gap clothes while in korea, but it was the only place i found stuff i liked and that fit. and it was inexpensive. (well most of it was).

we met back up with the rest of the group, got lunch at a delicious restaurant (tex-mex made by canadians with mostly korean inredients). while at lunch, my friend from pohang, michael, previously referred to as the husband, got up and went to the bathroom. as soon as he left, one of the girls from SA promptly asked me, "so, is he your husband?" not even boyfriend, but husband? i was floored, and could not stop laughing. he's basically my bestie here and if husband and wife talk to each other the way him and i do, they marriage is much different then i've been led to believe. i've never played more "tha'ts what she said."

moving on, after lunch it was back to shopping. i may have also splurged on a bit of perfume. but mine got lost in transit, so i've been scentless for days. michael caught a bus back to pohang, and i ventured with the family back to their litte town of uiseong for a proper b-day bash for the little man. it was nice. presents, and pizza, and grape soda. what more could a girl ask for. i ended up crashing early next to the little man. so precious.

ill update more about this week soon. but that deserves it's own post entirely.
