This past weekend, I set up the Christmas tree and put on the decorations. Last year I inherited this tree from Kris and Miranda (along with the oven of earlier posts) and seeing as how it's almost December decided now's the time. Christmas is the only time of year that I ever get a bit of homesickness in Korea. It's not so much any desire to return to Vancouver (because to be honest I have none of that) but to return to all those childhood Christmas memories (and the loot :p) and the family that I spent them with (most of which is luckily still with us). However, being that it's my 4th Christmas away from home (and 3rd in a row) I'm starting to get a bit used to it.
The rest of the weekend was spent buying a new table and some exercise stuff. I'm also happy to report that I walked to and from Yongsan, Keimyung area and then back to Keimyung (for a Starbucks coffee, my one guilty western pleasure thing). The table was cheap but is really necessary when you have two or more people over (as my old "table" was really only good for one) and the exercise stuff is because I'm finding, with the cold weather coming in at night, I no longer feel the desire to run after work and due to the fact that I am by no means a morning person I rarely find the energy to do it before work. Therefore, I was starting to feel fairly lethargic and cramped (you know that feeling when you really aren't doing much physical?). Hopefully problem is solved.
