Katie's Wandering Seoul

As I wrote in my last post Thanksgiving has come and gone.  Although, it was a depressing time because it is my favorite holiday, I still had a good Thanksgiving. It was nothing like any other Thanksgiving I have ever had before.  There was no big family meal, no little kids running around me, and no turkey.  I did however spend Thanksgiving and the entire weekend with some really great friends, which is what the holiday season is all about really.  Spending time with your friends and family, and here in Korea my friends have become my family. I also got to Skype with my family at home, so I got a little bit of the things that are the most important. Now it is the Christmas season and I'm very excited for it.  I do think that I will be a little depressed being away from the family, but we are already planning our Christmas day.  Many Koreans have Christmas yes, however it is not as big of a holiday here as it is at home.  I will only get Christm...

I have about 15 minutes left in my day until I can leave and go home.  I really should be lesson planning for my classes, maybe try to get ahead, however these computers are just way too slow to do much on them.  I go to try to make my presentation or look something up on the internet and it takes 50 years to switch things, so I'll write a blog instead! Gyeongsangbuk Palace in Seoul Beth, Heather, and me in Seoul We went to Seoul this weekend for St. Patrick's day.  We went up on Friday night, and came back to Sangju yesterday afternoon.  We had a lot of fun, and Seoul is absolutely huge!!!  We went shopping during the day on Saturday...there are so many different stores.  Western stores and Korean stores, it was so great!  I know that I don't have to worry about finding clothes that fit me!  We decided that we will just make a girls weekend back up there so that we can go shopping.  The guys weren't really into the whole shopping...
