Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, peoples! Halloween here was pretty unexciting. In fact, while we were planning on watching Rosemary's Baby, maybe carving a pumpkin, we ended up hanging out with Tera (new friend from church who lives in Mokdong! Yay!). It was a lot of fun! We left kind of late (about 8pm) and went to Myeong Dong. We walked around the giant Forever 21 (I got a really cute sweater!!) and the H&M. Then we went in search of dinner (I know... it was 10pm at this point) and came across some shoes. I got a cute pair of ankle boots and Tera found herself some nice, cheap fake Uggs.

We did end up finding food and it was SOOO good! We were kind of going by smell since it was hard to tell what to expect at most places. We got really lucky finding such good food. I'm sure there's a name for the kind of place we went but I don't know what it is. It had like a wok in the middle of the table and they stir fried your dinner for you right there. Tada! We had chicken bulgogi: chicken that tasted like it had been marinated in ginger sauce (there were even chunks of ginger in the stir fry! I love ginger.), bunches of these little mushrooms, slaps of mushrooms, bok choy, carrots, and glass noodles. It was sooo good. Love it.

We made it to the subway too late so we ended up taking a taxi back... got totally ripped off. I taught our driver a new English word. :)

It was an awesome night. Next Saturday, Tera wants to go exploring the shops along the streets near our apartment. I'm totally up for that. Especially since the strap on my favorite (and, currently, ONLY) pair of heels broke today at the singles pancake dinner... DANG IT!

Unfortunately, there are NO PICTURES documenting the awesome adventure. I was pissed when I searched through my purse and couldn't find my camera while we were out. I was even more pissed when I found it in my purse this morning. Grrr...

As far as actual Halloween festivities, I didn't do much of anything except talk about it with my students and give out candy. I did get a couple of awesome drawings from some of my students. Love it!!





My favorite is the one that says "Hallowin." Because it WINS!! :D

Also, one of my students came in a witch costume. I asked her if I could take a picture of her. I just remembered I'm supposed to e-mail her a copy. Here's my adorable Helen.



And that's my weekend. I can't believe that it's only four more weeks until the end of the term! Time has gone by so quickly. One term is the same amount of time as my student teaching yet it seems to have gone by ten times faster. Wow... probably because I'm doing less than half the work for this job than I did for my student teaching. :)
