friends in town, cherry blossoms

well being the weekend before pay day, it was an in Daegu weekend. It began Saturday morning with a major hike along Woreongsan (the mountain in front of place). Not as nice as Apsan (which in Korean means mountain in front of my place :P) but good excercise. I then met my friend Yunhee who was down from Daejeon for the weekend. We just had coffee and grabbed a snack and chatted a bit. She's a uni student who I met at Marks and who taught me a bit of Korean (and me English to her). I hadn't seen her since last fall so it was good to hear about what she's up to.

Sunday was Italian food and a movie. We went to a restaurant near Apsan to eat. Food was okay but for the price I was a bit let down. However I then went to see the cherry blossoms, which will be blooming all week. It's the same festival as the one in Japan and marks the beginning of spring. It is also supposed to bring good luck, which the Japanese could use right now (please donate to the red cross :P). It was fun and great to be on mountains on a weekend when the sky was so clear that you could see straight across the city.

I also managed to start the final part of the application process for KMU. All I need to do now is get my contract in order, book flights to Vancouver for a summer visit and get ready to start school.
