Lion King in Seoul!
Last Saturday night 3 friends and I went to see the Broadway Production Lion King here in Seoul. It was fantastic!! Loved the costumes, stage set up was very impressive, the only disadvantage was that it was all in Korean. Fortunately I've seen the movie enough times to have the English version going through my head while I was watching! :-)

DMZ: Bridge of No Return
This is a memorial for the soldiers killed trying to cut down a tree that was blocking their line of sight. They took a group of three civilian workers and eight soldiers out to cut down the tree. They were met by approximately 30 NK soldiers, and were attacked. They were grossly outnumbered, and the NK soldiers attacked them with axes...

Korean Pepero Day
On November 11th every year Korean's celebrate Pepero Day. Pepero's are small thin biscuits covered in chocolate, and they give them out to their friends. We went to our neighbourhood pub that night, and a couple Korean friends bought us Pepero. They were so excited because they managed to find one that was called "LONG" pepero, just for me! Korean's always comment on how "long" I am.
Pre-Christmas At Everland!
Last weekend Jillian, Robin and I took the bus an hour south to Everland. We had a great day, despite the fact we were freezing all day!! We got a lot of attention from all the kids there, saying hello and practicing their english with us. My friends described me as an "attraction" at the park since my height and blond hair got many comments and people even asked to take my picture! Of course because I was the "freakishly" tall blond girl.
