December Memories : Day 11

"Get really close and act like you're really good friends," our co-teacher
said before he took this picture...

December Memories: Day 10

As if it wasn't enough that Natasha and I both got to go on the school
ski trip, with lessons, gear, food, accommodation and passes all paid for...
this was the view from our bedroom when we got there.

December Memories: Day 9

My Christmassy corner in my bedroom.  Worked on
today so I feel in the mood when I get
back from our ski trip. I hope
that it's snowing!

December Memories: Day 8

One of the highlights of last night was watching the relief on Anna's face
when she realised that this guy's hair was a wig. She was worried
that she had been outdone of beautiful ginger locks by a boy.

Our Weekend

With all the build up to Christmas I keep forgetting that December's also going to be a sad month too. Not only will I be far away from my family and all the traditions that I'm used to on Christmas day for the first time ever, but another close friend will be leaving Busan in a few short days. Saying goodbye always acts as a reminder of how quickly time passes here and how it's all very temporary, especially with our first year flying by so quickly.

So to say a good farewell to Caroline we all got together last night in PNU to eat some Thai food and drink mulled wine at the Matahari Cafe and then danced the night away in Crossroads. On top of this we got to see a wedding ceremony between a couple who met in Busan.

Today, to get myself in the spirit I watched Love Actually whilst finishing off my Christmas decorations and packed ready for our ski trip to High One tomorrow. A little worried as I have never skied before apart from a few lessons I had when I was about 10 on Sheffield's dry slope. Eeeek. It also means that I won't be able to get online for a few days. Hopefully I will still be in one piece when we get back on Wednesday night.

December Memories: Day 6

Whenever the subject of snow comes up with native busanites they
always tell us that it never snows in Busan, but it seemed like today was the exception.
You could hear the kids screaming up and down the corridors when the first few flakes
fell.
