My Birthday

Wow, long time...no blog, eh? Life has been a little on the crazy side lately. Sebastian came to visit me for my Birthday and we also had a four day weekend that weekend which meant no school. We crammed a lot of fun and awesome things into this time. I could write a ton but I'll give you the Cliff Notes and post lots of smaller blogs rather than one big one.

As many of you know, Sebastian has an obsession with Hyatt Hotels. His flight arrived an hour before I had to be at work and the airport is an hour and a half away from my house. He decided to stay at Grand Hyatt and take the shuttle bus into the city since I would still be at work. I met him at the hotel and he managed to get the room upgraded to a Junior Suite. It was definitely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. We had a great view of the city and there was a bathtub that overlooked the city too! My friend Carina, that I knew back home came too. We just chilled in the hotel, ate cake, drank wine, and had "Real Talk." (This is my new phrase I picked up from the other teachers. It involves having some beers and trying to solve the problems of the world or just our own problems. I love "Real Talk!"Carina and I both concluded we felt more out of place at the 5 star hotel than we do on the streets of Korea!

Oh and on a bit of a side note, I've started watching this Korean drama called, "Boys Over Flowers" which as about a "commoner" girl that takes on the rich kids at her school. There are quite a few scenes that are filmed at Hyatt! It's super fun to see the different locations around Seoul that I have been to and recognize. This drama is super addicting. I just keep telling myself it's helping me with my Korean.
