Happy Turkey Day! I hope everyone ate ridiculous amounts of delicious food... and for those of you into Black Friday, keep your eye on the prize!!
Nothing exciting happened here, although prior to work some co-workers and I went to Costco. One of them bought a giant pumpkin pie for us to enjoy during dinner at work. I haven't had pumpkin pie since I don't know when, so it was a great treat. Saturday I'm going to a Thanksgiving dinner at a brewery in Gangnam. Looking forward to eating my fill of mashed potatoes and trying some non-Korean beer.
Happy Turkey Coma Friday!

Octoberfest
Hello! Sorry for the long absence. October was a month of busy busy weekends, weekdays, work hours.... yeah lots of excuses, but totally true. It was a good month to make use of the nice weather, changing leaves, and activities around and outside of Seoul.
First weekend was spent at Everland, the amusement park about 2 hours outside of downtown Seoul in Suwon. It's more show than rides like you'd expect at an American park, but the roller coasters they have were still as good as American coasters.
Second weekend was spent in Osan for the day for shopping and dining near one of the U.S. bases.
Third weekend was spent in Busan, the port city closest to Japan, and Okpo Island, an hour or so bus ride from Busan to an abandoned amusement park. A friend of mine had shown me a link about it, so I was able to wrangle some interested co-workers to combine Busan's International Fireworks Festival with the excursion to the island.
This past weekend was spent first at work for iBT level-up practice for new students, Couch Surfers party in Hongdae, and then the Apple Festival in Mungyeong on Sunday.
Now I have lots of great photos and a whole bushel of apples.
Hope November is just as good!! Here are some photos from this month.
