This weekend brought beautiful weather to Korea. The week was a fairly busy one. Wednesday we had supper and drinks with some LG workers. Our new friend teaches the LG business men so we went out with them before heading to Waegook. Friday we enjoyed an evening with friends in Indong at a Hookha bar. Saturday was a beautiful day so we spent the afternoon downtown and at Gumeo mountain. We went for a nice walk around the lake which offered some great photos. Saturday night was Craigs farewell at Waegook. He is heading back to Canada so we felt the need to send him off in style with a Waegook very sloppy party. Sunday a group ventured into Daegu to check out a Samsung Lions baseball game. It would be comparable to the MLB at home. It was a great day for a ball game, and to work on a base tan for Taiwan. Korean's hate the sun so many of them were wearing an insane amount of clothes, and hats made from just about anything (empty boxes, newspaper, flyers etc). It is almost funny to see because Koreans are very self conscious about their looks. They constantly look in the mirror or take pictures of themselves, but they will sit at a ball game with a beer box on their head. They see skin color as a division of social class. High class work in offices and have indoor jobs, where as lower classes work outside doing manual labor so they have darker skin. At the game we also sat behind a family with a small Korean girl. She was amazed by all of us foreigners, and probably one of the cutest, well behaved children I have seen here to date. After the game I met up with a friend from home for supper. Nick and Dave both work with Moon Kkkang in Daegu so I spent the evening with them before heading back to Gumi. So great to have people from home here, and nice to have a getaway in Daegu even if it is just for a day.

This week is the start of a new series for me at work, so today I will be getting a few new kids in my classes. Learning new names should keep me entertained for this week.
