Another work week begins after another weekend of adventure!

It's already Tuesday night here in Korea and it seems like this week is just flying by. Last weekend I traveled to Ulsan with my friend Nate. It was a great weekend in an even greater city. We arrived at 4am Saturday morning, after what seemed like a never ending trip there. After work Friday night we took a bus into Seoul in plans of catching the KTX(300mph bullet train) to Ulsan. After the hour and a half trip to the KTX station we were told that all the tickets were sold out. So we had to back track an hour to the Express Bus terminal and then wait two hours for our bus. Luckily the buses here in Korea are very comfortable so we were able to catch a bit of sleep on the way there. Once in Ulsan we walked to our hotel and crashed for the night. Saturday we met up with Nate's friend and had lunch. I spent the afternoon strolling around the neighborhood we were in. Afterwards we went to another part of town and walked around some more and then walked an hour or so back to our hotel.

This is the view we had on our walk home. Needless to say I am in love with this city! I plan to visit it more and will potentially look for work there next year. Saturday night we met up with Nate's friends for some Korean BBQ. I was the only girl crashing what would normally be a boys night out so I obviously had to keep up with the drinking. The good thing about being a girl in Korea is you rarely have to pay for anything! So after four rounds(four different bars filled with boozing) we stumbled home. Needles to say Sunday wasn't a very pleasant day. And like with all things, it seems that the world wanted to punish us for having a little fun. We took a 20 minute cab ride to the KTX station only to find out that it was, yet again, sold out. So we ended up taking it for only 20 minutes to Daegu and then taking a bus back from there. On a normal day it would have taken only three and a half hours to get home, but for some reason, this day the traffic was insane. We inched along and finally arrived home about six and a half hours later! Even with all the travelling delays it was still a pretty great weekend! I am happy I am getting the chance to explore Korea!

This weekend we are planning a girls night with all of the teachers at our school. Hopefully it will be a great time! Until then.....
