Having a wonderFURl time in Korea

Well if I were a good blogger I would take lots of time to write about everything I have done, then embellish it all with details add photos, edit a few times and then publish. Little did you know I am not a good blogger. I am a great blogger. I know that photos say a thousand words so why bother writing 1000 and adding a photo, when I can take take a photo and tell you in a few words what is going on? (Smart I know)! Well here is a summary of what I've done in Korea...

October 6th: Gio Cat - Cat Cafe (in the Hongdae area, Seoul, South Korea)
Coffee shop + Cats = Pur-fect evening (hint.. drinking my latte wasn't the focus)






October 3rd (and Sept. 30): Asean Culture and Tourism Fair (Seoul, South Korea)
Originally a few friends and I found this by saying "Lets meet up at Sindorim Subway station at 6:30 Exit 1 for supper" and we accidentally walked into this fair / festival! Really cool find.






October 1st - 2nd: Andong Mask and Dance Festival (Andong, South Korea)
I joined a group of people in Seoul for the Andong mask festival. I think you can guess what this festival was all about by the title. :) Met some great people and had lots of fun!







September 23rd, 24th, 25th: Drum Festival & City Exploration (Seoul, South Korea)

I loved this festival so much that I attended it for two days in a row. Being outside enjoying local live music and dance is wonderful. This festival showcased many different drumming groups throughout Korea and Asia. There was even an all female drum corps which was cool to see!







September during the weeknights (Seoul, South Korea)
Life can't be wasted sitting inside when there is the sun, a beautiful fall day and concrete to walk on... right? Basically every day after a day of teaching I spend time outside walking the paths of my neighborhood, meeting up with fellow teachers and walking around different areas in Seoul and of course enjoying various different kinds of food. I love Korean food... I have had very few dishes I dislike but I figure nearly everything is worth a try once (still iffy about dog soup though).
