Happy White Day~<33

Hi, everyone!!

In case you're wondering what "white day" is, it's like Valentine's Day. In Korea, girls give guys presents on Valentine's Day, and a month later on March 14th, the guys return the favor. It's actually a made-up holiday to boost commercialism, but it's basically an official holiday now. I meet my student at Krispy Kreme on Saturday mornings (I know, right?) and today it was decorated with pink and white balloons with red heart streamers. I don't get anything at KK, but today I couldn't resist and purchased six assorted doughnuts. Don't worry - they're not all for me. Two are, and two are for Chris and the other two for my friend, Ben.

Chris and I have been jogging lately. We jogged three times this week - hurray! We were going to go bike riding in lieu of jogging yesterday, but it was raining when we woke up! So, we just lingered around and read for a while and made our way over to the COEX Mall to see what movies came out - in Korea, movies usually come out on Thursdays. Nothing really good came out, though Chris REALLY wants to see Friday the 13th, sigh. Next week is the release of "Slumdog Millionaire"! We didn't get a chance to see it back in the states, so we're excited to see that. We saw "Watchmen" last Sunday. It was all right - I liked the plot, a few of the characters, and the well-intended storyline but it was so long and lacked character development. Also, it was really cheesy at some points, like the love scenes - eesh. I really liked the soundtrack, though.

We're finally moving out of Ben's place on Monday morning. We booked a tiny room at a guesthouse in Seoul - it's 4 subway stops away from Myeong-dong (the shopping mecca) and Dongdaemun (the bartering place with floors of cheap shopping), so I'm really excited. AND *drum roll* wireless internet. Thank the almighty Lord.. I will be able to update blogs and go online without going to these PC rooms to pay about a dollar an hour.

All right, I should go back home and devour some doughnuts!
