Hello! Cindy here.
We had a marathon weekend! First up was our "graduation" from Korean class. At a very strange celebration party, we saw the other classes perform some interesting acts such as Salsa dancing, martial arts, impromptu conversations, oh- and our class was called up to sing a song we had practiced for maybe two minutes. We received certificates, and the YMCA provided some delicious treats. It was a good way to start our Saturday.
We had to make up for the stolen beer by heading to some bars downtown. We had some drinks and talked with friends. The boys also attempted karaoke at one bar by shouting into the microphone. It didn't go over that well I think. We were soon told that we could only sing one more song. I think they just wanted the boys to quit. It wasn't pretty.
On Sunday we went to the electronics market where Brett bought me my Christmas present- A CAMERA. I love love love my new Nikon. I can't wait to get out there and use it. The users manual is in Korean though.....so we have to track down the English version. OR I will have to keep on with the Korean lessons until I am fluent (NOT).
We then joined some friends for skating. The skate rink people were not so happy to see us. They quickly informed us that they were closing in 45 minute. Duh......we didn't think to check their hours before making the adventurous trek all the way out there. Oh well. They were kind enough to let us in for free. We got around the rink a few times before they brought out the Zamboni and pushed us off the rink. We will definitely have to go back. I love it!
Shortly after our 20 minute taxi ride home, we were both asleep on the couch. Whew. We were exhausted, but can't wait to do it again.

Next, we had to rush to work, where my class of 15 year olds all wrote stories about a teacher named Cindy (not my idea, they were allowed to write a story about anything) . In one story "Cindy Teacher" ate children, and in most stories she died....sometimes a painful and tragic death.
We then went to the Yale Christmas party at a branch closer to downtown. Lots of good food, and fun games. We participated in a present game. Brett was happy to open a 4 pack of beer, but it was quickly stolen by the next person to join the game. Sigh.

I love the photos, keep them coming! Cindy, did you sing any Karaoke? After all this site is called Canaussie Karaoke! Can you rent the ice skates? How funny that a Canadian goes to Korea to skate in the winter! (just in case you forgot, we have that here, too) :)
Merry Christmas! Leanne
Oh that photo of the 3 boys with Brett being very expressive does remind me of some good times at the Lakers Tavern Brett. You guys look like you are having so much fun and Cindy you are just gorgeous. The camera loves you back x
