Great 48 hours to get over the work week blues

Not often do I write about what I great two days I just had early on a Saturday afternoon, but today I will make an exception.

Thursday night was my relaxing night this week. Every night I've been out so having a night to chill was great. Friday morning I went to the Sony service centre is to get my camera repaired. Good news is a new lense will only run me about $150 including service and it will be ready (and tested) by Monday morning. Sometimes I just love Korea (that would be two weeks back in Canada and no way it would be that cheap). Also, if it can't be fixed, no charge. Then to the phone shop to get my new phone set up with a proper plan that I can use this year and next. When I'm in China and back in Canada I'll just have to pay even when I don't use it, but having to constantly buy minutes is getting really boring. So I have a sexy new touch screen phone. After that I went to an old style duck restaurant, and man was it old style. I mean half the menu was still in hanja (so was probably 15 years old at least). Food was okay, but the kimchi was amazing :P

Then was work with my usual zero-two classes (I'll save a rant about work, but suffice to say that unless they start throwing more classes my way I'll be happy when my contract is up). After work I had planned to go home but Drew was calling me down to Sydney St. so I caved and went down for a beer or two. It was a great time with her and her fiancee Barry. Mostly darts and conversation but after a LONG work day it was much needed. They also mentioned that Keimyung was looking for new staff for the summer and had a masters in TEOFL proramme that Keimyung employees could take at a discounted rate. I believe I will apply :) Also met their coworker William who seemed like a solid guy. Here's hoping, Barry and Drew would be epic coworkers :)

This morning I woke up to meet Ji Won (my language partner). She has to give a presentation in English on Monday so I helped her go over it and then we had lunch. Now I'm sitting around at home looking at laptops to buy and picks of Taipei and chatting to Paul on skype. Angela is coming in from Cheongju tonight but they want to go downtown dancing/clubbing so I will probably give it a miss and catch up with them next time (I didn't enjoy clubbing much at 22, let alone 29).

Good times :)
