The weekend...

It was a rainy Friday, but we ventured downtown anyway to do a bit of retail therapy. We found a few nice things at really great prices. The weather has all of a sudden turned really cold (and very windy)! Friday night, we helped a co-worker bring in things for her classroom and then went out for dinner for some very bad pizza and panini. The pizza had raisins, sweet potatoes and some other unidentifiable ingredients and tasted like it had been microwaved.





Saturday night we had friends over for the first time since moving to Korea. We moved back in the couch and the chair and made a very non-Korean meal (hamburgers, fries and salad). It's sometimes a bit of a challenge cooking because we don't have an oven so we have to do everything on the stovetop. It was really nice to have people over. Dan and Nicole are expecting their baby in just over a week and we will be taking care of their dog, Tong (Korean name for dog soup -- what Tong would have become had he not been rescued) while they're in the hospital. He is a VERY sweet dog, but so nervous. It takes him a while to warm up to us but we think we've won him over. He didn't want to leave and Dan had to (literally) drag him out of our apartment.



This coming weekend we are celebrating Nicole's last day of work and having a Thanksgiving meal. The U.S. Thanksgiving is next week so our school is even having a Thanksgiving dinner, so two turkey meals in one week??? We thought we wouldn't taste turkey until we were back in Canada!
