My New Favorite Season

With Fall settling in nicely, it isn't hard to understand why most Koreans will agree it is the best season in this country. After the whirlwind vacation I had with mom and the weekend-stealing illness I that just passed, this weekend was the first I've had to really enjoy it solo.
I think the Korean Fall is similar to what we see in Ontario except it's so much longer and warmer. This weekend I was dressed in shorts and actually got really hot at points. This is the run down.

Friday, Molly and I went to Speaks and just hung out. I called it quits early and went home.

Saturday was the World Food Fest at The Kim Dae Jung Convention Centre. Molly, Holli, Jess and Vaneeta showed up and we ate everything. Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, food from North America and best of all Greek!
The food was all prepared by volunteers and there was also performances by various nationalities.
We had a really nice time.

jMy favorite! Taek Won Do.

When we finished stuffing our faces we went back to Holli's apartment and she showed us to a really nice park in Sangmu. By that time, it had trickled down to Molly, Holli and I so we were able to rent this crazy bike cart.
Normally, it is used as a romantic date prop but the three of us loaded into it and pedaled for 40 minutes while enjoying a bottle of wine.
After our work out we headed out to dinner. Shabbu Shabbu was on the menu and I enjoyed every bite. Downtown was the next stop and we proceeded to do what we do best. Party.
The first time I looked down at my watch it was 5am. I went home after that and slept until 2pm the next day! What a waste.

Sunday was beautiful and I walked around for a little bit and met up with some people for an early dinner and then called it quits. I fell alseep at 7 last night and woke up today at 5am.
Got a lot done already. Gym, laundry, groceries and now this. I'm not going to make 5am a habit anytime soon but it does have benefits!

Missing everyone on the Gobble Gobble weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving
