Strange Days vs. Holidays

Well, I did work yesterday and it did indeed suck. The techers were miserable and so were the students. The concept of happy employees is one that KOrean employers have no concept of. They just look at the short-term, bottom-line and work everyone ragged to fill the coffers. That being said, it was the first and definately last Christmas I will ever work.

Christmas Eve was a good time on the other hand. There was an all afternoon Christmas party at the penthouse apartment of some of my coworkers. it was a good time. Then we were off the the Westin Chosun hotel for the Christmas buffet. The turkey was dry and overcooked, but being such a rare commodity in Korea, I still enjoyed stuffing my face with it. Salmon and steak were also high on my list of foods to consume in great quantities. Dinner finished, it was time for a walk on the beach and then the Paradise Casino. Good times, next year, Christmas will be in Canada if all goes according to plan.

It's a Korean Santa and Kevin.

It's Boxing Day and 16c outside. It in no way feels like the Holiday season. First, I had no holiday of any kind and second, it's as warm as a summer day on the East Coast of Canada!

Looks like the Hermit Kings will be playin at U2 in Haeundae on Saturday night. Whether or not we're playin on New Year's Eve is still not written in stone yet...I'll keep everyone updated.
