Hate for Cabbies ... Love for Kimchi

FRIDAY ...

It's the middle of December and the weather is surprisingly mild compared to back home. On Friday, I went to Dr. Fish with some friends and then we sang our hearts out at the "Luxury Noraebang (singing room)." After a long night of getting our feet eaten by fish, chilling, chatting, and singing (no drinking), it was about 1:00am and we were ready to head home. We asked about 8-9 cabs to take us home and they all rejected us! And.. it wasnt just us... Korean people were gettig rejected too. So as we continued to attempt to hail a taxi, we were baffled why cab drivers drive by yet dont pick anyone up! Eventually, my friend Jared and I just started walking and 1.25hrs later, we made it home!

The good:

1. It wasnt blistering cold
2. We didnt get lost
3. We werent stumbling around
4. We didnt have to pee
5. We saved money

The bad:

1. I was in heels
2. Jared didnt have gloves
3. I caught a cold
4. We created a HATE for cab drivers in Hongdae


(Sarah, Jared, and I singing something - Greatest Love of all, The Rose, Dirrty, who knows)

Sunday ...

I went to my birth mother's house and made Kimchi and Chap Chae. It was really fun and since I made it, I figured I should eat some. I didnt throw up or run to the bathroom for a #2 right away... so it was a good day!
