Relaxing!

We came home early from our trip to Busan, but we are all still enjoying our vacation! Today we went to Itaewon, which is a small part of Seoul that is very Western, and went to a swimming pool at a hotel. Apparently it's the hot place to be! There were so many people there and the pool was amazing! It is in a really nice hotel, out on the roof, and you have to pay to get in. You can stand up and see a lot of the city which was pretty cool. We hung out there a lot of the day, refusing to let being back in Bundang bring an end to our vacation! Itaewon is a great place to go shopping. They have a lot of Western things that you can't get anywhere else, like Dr. Pepper and Diet Mountain Dew. (you can see where my thoughts were!) It's also the place where most military people and a lot of other teachers hang out, and most people speak English. There is a great night life there, and we go out there on occasion. It's about a 30 minute bus ride depending on traffic so we don't go too often, but we are headed back there tonight and it should be a blast!

Unfortunately, being in Itaewon does not bring an end to the Korean fashion diasters. Speedos and bikinis with stiletto heels were raging, and florescent colored clothing is also a big hit. Ahhhhh, still getting used to these things! Have a great weekend!!!!
