Yo yo yo…

So I moved out to my own little officetel in 신슬동 (shinseuldong) and I am loving it. It’s not a happening place but everything I need is closeby in the neighborhood…my bank, the post office, restaurants and convenient stores. I’m just a couple stops from City hall, Dongdehmoon and I think I can even jog to chungehchun. (the small artificial river with nice walkways) The subway station is literally just a minute away which is also convenient. The officetel comes with everything i need, a washer, cable, internet, kitchen, microwave, and floor heating =)

I feel really bad that my aunts are really sad that I moved out but I just feel more comfortable on my own; I dont feel as much as a burden even though they keep asking me to move in with any of them. My aunts stocked me with food, utensils, cooking tools, etc. I feel so undeserving of their love cause they love so much. I learn a lot from them and cherish the time I do spend with them and their families.

So a lot has happened. Sunday before thanksgiving, I went to celebrate my aunt’s birthday and finally got to see all my relatives on my dad’s side who lives in Korea…

Played with Annabelle at my aunt’s house before going to the thanksgiving banquet

My cousin dropped me off at the thanksgiving banquet at the Yongsan US army base which is close by their place.   The food was ok; had a good time hanging out with my friends and seeing some shows which included a hip hop routine, a couple songs by a choir, and body worship. I participated in a karoake game where you had to sing the rest of the words of the song that was played. (No one else from my table would go up.) Needless to say, I didn’t do so well; it was pretty hard actually. Not a lot of people could finish singing random songs that were played…
