All of the lights

I went with some friends to a Lantern Festival in Seoul's Downtown stream. Then Nelson and I went again. There were amazing traditional lanterns that were life size and larger. 

I need to catch up on my Korean history, but a lot of the lanterns were based on old Korean kings and their entourages.

Yup, that's Batman.

I also need to catch up on my Korean folktales. The tiger and grandma battle it out and grandma wins. Love it ^^

Another folktale. The girl gave her life so her blind father could see. So impressed by her selflessness, some god gave her life back. And she was reborn in a lotus flower...(the last part I might have made up lol).

Year of the Rabbit

Mash up of videos Nelson and I have recorded in the past 2 weeks.

Fun bar Nelson and I found in Hongdae.

Little Dudu, my new friend.

We also found some cool street art in Hongdae. 

More pics and the Thanksgiving feast Nelson and I dished up on Nelson's blog.

First days...

Dinner with coworkers at Korean BBQ.

Garlic, kimchi, spicy pork, and eggs with kimchi on the grill.

My new boss at Kaaaaraaoke.

It's even more fun than it looks, I promise. Some Koreans take karaoke seriously and practice karaoke by themselves.

View from my huge apartment window. High school soccer field/community track.

Note to self: do not reveal shoulders, cleavage, or my back in Korea.

Lots of public art in Korea. The benches are always interesting. I like this one.

 

 

Just because there were "McDelivery" mopeds.

Found an entire section of Couples' cell phone charms at one of many accessory stores. Cute!
