This past 
weekend we took a much needed mini-vacation from the city. A coworker/friend of Kirsten and Liz's put together a pig roast up in the local mountains. It was really great! There was plenty of food cooked up for us, lots of fresh air and scenery, good music and of course great company. We finally got a taste of fall with chilly temperatures (eh) and turning leaves. Those who felt festive dressed up in costume and some sported awesome wigs... Overall it was just a chill time. (Which was sooooo welcome because of the week I had.) After we got back to the city we went out for some good old fashioned Halloween havoc.
Korea doesn't celebrate Halloween so for once the strange looks we got on the subway/metro bus were waranted. But the typical "foreign hangouts" had a few parties so we spent our night split between Itaewon and Hongdae. One place in Itaewon actually had pumpkin sugar cookies and goodie bags for everyone! I think the prize for best costume for sure goes to the guy at Rocky Mountain Tavern that was dressed as kimbap. (I'll be sure to post pictures of the best ones we saw soon.) And waht's more? I get two more days of celebrating because we have to do Halloween for all the kids at SLP... (Some students only come on Tues/Thurs and we don't want to shaft them!)
