On Wednesday I had to be at work by 9 AM, but I got off work at 4. Angela, Christi and I headed to Seoul for a free nights stay at the JW Marriot Hotel....It was super nice and absolutely beautiful inside! Later that night we met up with Jessica and Heather and we went to Kangnam for dinner, but b/c it was the Holiday most of the restaurants we wanted to go to were closed already. So since we didn't want Galbi for dinner, we wound up having.....BURGER KING! lol! I know, we're pathetic, but it was either that or go without food at that point! lol! 
Thurday was Sulnal-Lunar New Year. This is usually a big thing in most Asian countries, but here in Korea, its more of a family day. So nearly everything was closed down and there weren't really any activities going on except for some traditional dances and people wearing the traditional Korean Dress- Hanbok. Since Angela and I had to work the next day we had to leave Seoul that evening and come back to Daegu. But at least we got to spend a night outside of Daegu relaxing and not working!
Friday was also part of the Holiday, but we still had to teach at the academy. I think that our school was the only one teaching during those 3 days....but on Friday I didn't have very many students show up. my first 3 hr class only had 4 students out of the normal 12. Then my second 3hrs class had 6 students out of my normal 16 students. School was over at 4 PM and when I walked outside the weather felt like Fall. It was WONDERFUL. So, instead of going home and being productive with cleaning, I wound up going downtown and walking around outside! God is Amazing! I loved it! Then I wound up meeting with some people and we all went out to eat at a restaurant called POOM. It was pretty good, the had some pretty good food and then they actually had dessert too! WOW!Saturday I didn't have to be at work til 2 PM so I got to sleep in a little. Then, since classes were cancelled on Thursday and sooo small on Friday, EVERYONE came on Sat. My class was maxed out. I'm only supposed to have 15 at max, but today I had 20. And somehow, we squeezed all 20 desks in there and surprizingly, I still had a little bit of walking room!!! After that class I only had 12 in my next class, so it was a lot roomier! Today was also Angela's 31st Birthday! So we went to a new bar and grill downtown called "Traveler's" Its owned but a Canadian, and the food was actually REALLY good for Korea! I was impressed! Angela, Jessica, Christi, Mikey, and I enjoyed the time out together and devoured the 2 layer White Chocolate Mint cake Mikey made for Ange...AMAZING!!!
Sunday, Another day off (NICE), I left for Church at 12:45 from my apt. and I still wound up being 10 mins late for the 2:00 Service....I had forgotten how long it takes to travel from my apt. ALL the way to Damti by walking and Subways! But I made it. The worship was really nice, I enjoy the extra instruments and the harmony that they've added recently. The Sermon was also pretty good, "Love" (2 Peter 5-11). After Church we hung out and talked like usual, then we got kicked out b/c small groups were starting....but that's ok, b/c the "geniuses" took a trip to Palgong Mountain in Mr. James Kim's car! He took us to one of his favorite Beksuk places to eat, which was a steamed duck served with a rice porridge. After that he took us for some traditional tea. Both places were really nice and I am so glad I got the chance to go! Lastly, he took us to an area on the mountain were we could kinda see the stars, I wanted to stay there for ever, but we had to go, that concluded my very busy, but super AWESOME week!
