It was a great five day weekend before my two weeks off :P I mostly stayed in Daegu but managed to see a few things that I hadn't seen before and have a solid, relaxing holiday.
On Tuesday after work I went up to the lake park for outdoor BBQ and campfire with Zeke and friends of his. A great atmosphere and decent meat. On Wednesday Yen came over and we went across town with her friends to Ariana hotel. I had heard about it for years but never been. I would certainly go again. With a live band and buffet the only thing I didn't much care for was the rude bartenders (poor customer service is more common in Korea than in Canada, but rude customer service is unheard of). Otherwise a great night.
Thursday we got up early and headed off to Palgongsan. Hoe to the giant Buddha and a cable car that, as it turns out, I have never been on before. The views from the top were amazing and worth the 90 minute commute.
Friday night Darren came down from Gumi, I hadn't seen him in moths and it was great to catch up over some sake. Really hoping it isn't another six months before he comes down (or I go up there).
Saturday Yen had to work so I had my first lazy day, watching Yankees/Red Sox. Looks like NY is out this postseason but given their injuries it is amazing that they were even in the running for so long. I hope this is A-Roid's last run but I do hope Ichiro comes back for one more season. There's a guy who should have a World Series ring.
Saturday night and Sunday I spent with Yen watching movies and hanging out. We did make a quick mission out to Suseong Lake but the wind and consequent lack of paddleboats made for a very quick return trip.
Overall an amazing Chuseok.
