STRAWBERRY CHERRY BLOSSOM BIRTHDAY CAKE! How absurdly delightful! But my past week has been just that! Cherry blossoms are here! Cherry blossoms are here! And they're lovely! They remind me of popcorn that have suddenly burst over the previously sad, barren trees! I love them!
Last Wednesday was my 22nd birthday and it was cool! I went to Seoul for bellydance on Tuesday just 'cause I wanted to. I got gifts from all my co-teachers and was surprised with a CAKE and all the kids singing "Happy Birthday" Facebook was inundated with wall posts galore, and some beautiful gifts from my momma back home. I got Indian food that evening and sparkly fiery free drinks from the bar! Whoop whoop!
Here's a video of my kids singing Happy Birthday. They didn't remember to add "Dear Charlotte" at the end, but I got the gist.
This weekend Rebecca, Ruth and I went to the Nonsan strawberry festival in, where else? Nonsan! It was lovely, and only about an hour away from home! We ran into a giant Strawberry, drank strawberry juice, ate strawberry ice cream, ho ddeok, rice cakes, and decorated an epic cake. Which we also ate. With chopsticks.
I wanted nothing more but to relax after that beautiful day! Sunday we took off to the Cheonan Exchange and both Rebecca and I had a bit of an epiphany in Korean language. It simply clicked, which is a joyous occasion indeed!
Last night I went to a book club, started by professors at Korea University and Hongik University in Jochiwon. We read Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm really proud of having finally participated in a book club. :3
