New Years Eve and Snow Day

My weekends have pretty much gotten better and better. Though that probably means I'll have a terrible one soon.
We had New Years Day off work so on Thursday evening we all missioned it into Seoul. We went to Oi Bar, which was just such an awesome place. I couldn't really get any good pictures because of the lighting, but it's like a dark ice cave, with little running streams, low mood lighting, and caves - low and high, for people to sit on/in. It was possibly not the best place to have the NY countdown, but it was fun nontheless. Tequila, tequila sunrises, champagne! There was a big group of us, and some of the people I didn't really know or meet, so coordination was a bit tricky.  Some us of broke off to go to some other bars/clubs.  One was called FF, which is like a indie club - Saw a good band and they played some good music. Went to another, etc etc. Then on to Cocoon, a huge club. We didn't get there till about 4am, did lots of dancing and trying to not loose one another! The others met up with us in there too. Got a taxi back at... I have no idea when, but got to bed at about 10. Or 7. Maybe 10 was the following day. You get the picture.

On the friday night I met Peter, Chris & Dillon and went to Yeongtong again. We went to a bar called Boobie Boobie which I think is my favourite one I've been to so far. It's really cosy and the soju cocktails are yummy! After that we went to Crazyduck, another popular bar, and finished the morning at a DVDbang.

Saturday night was supposed to be a chilled out evening. TGI Fridays for some western food (I really did not want anything Korean!) and we decided to go to Boobie Boobie again. I think. ...I need to talk to someone about the order of events.

Anyway, you readers are probably getting very bored with me talking about nights out and drinking.

Despite being massively tired and exhausted we missoned it to Hwaseong Fortress on Sunday.  It's a huge fortress in the centre of Suwon, but I don't know much about its history yet.  It was quite a hike, a much needed workout I think! I loved it there, the scenery of the mountains was stunning (You just have to pretend the huge city isn't there) and we saw the giant gold Buddha - It's very serene. I'm glad I've done a bit of sightseeing now.

I wasn't looking forward to work today, but we had a snow day!!! I was so happy. I could have gone back to sleep or read or watched movies but I forced myself to go to Homeplus as I had loads of laundry to do and needed supplies.  Then, my phone must have fallen out of my bag into the taxi. I was so pissed off with myself. I have the worst luck with phones. Fortunatly, a guy has it and I'm hoping I can get it tomorrow. Its just really not what I needed.
I've managed to have a semi-productive day though. Tidied and cleaned my apartment a bit, done lots of laundry, and made it more homely here. I really love this apartment, but I need to get a rug and more cushions. Or maybe I could ask my mum to send my cushions from home ^.^

I can't believe how much snow there is, and it's so beautiful! Just very, very hard to walk in.
