Korea = Random Adventure!

So this weekend ended up being adventurous and random at different moments.

All in all, it was a great weekend. On Saturday Alex and I went to Duryu Park. I have uploaded some pictures of this park. I enjoyed two parts of this adventure. I loved the pond/lake that we went to. People go there and feed HUGE koi fish, pigeons, and ducks. While we were there, a dad and his daughter were feeding the fish and pigeons. After awhile, the dad offered us some rice cake to feed to the fish. Let me tell you, his daughter was not too pleased with him. I didn't actually know what she said to him, but her tone and body language was enough of an indicator to figure out what was going on. It was funny to say the least.

Then we headed over the the Daegu Culture and Arts Center. This was funny because we couldn't figure out if there was a fee. All was saw was a sign that said "20,000 won." So we decided to take our chances and head up stairs to the Fabric Arche exhibit. This was fun we got to see a lot of interesting pieces. Here is where we discovered that the exhibit was "pree" aka as "free." Here in Korea they do not pronounce the letter "F" like we do they use the letter "P" instead. We decided to take our chances and go back to the room that had the sign that said "20,000 won." When we were standing there a man motioned over to us and told us to come in and he said it in excellent English. We would later find out this man is the president of the International Photography Exchange or something along those lines. We also found out he studied in Washington State so he actually knows where Montana is! Anyways, we got to see some photography from different parts of Asia. Some good, others not so good.

Also, today Alex and I got paid! So we decided to head downtown at the last minute (we literally ran to the bus stop so we'd make it and not miss our bus). I bought this very trendy hoodie dress thingy that all the Korean girls wear here...I'm still not too sure about it. It's really comfortable, but I might not be able to wear it in public. Then we headed to our favorite little "dollar store." This was fun and I got some great things for my apartment.

So far I am loving it! There's nothing holding me back and I am ready to experience Korea and what it has to offer. I'm not going anywhere! Who knows I might stay here longer...Life is good.
