357 down, 8 to go!


Yes, the adventures of Melodie and Shawn in Korea will be finishing up in just 8 days- hard to believe! The time has gone by very quickly, but at the same time it feels like a lonnnnng time since we've been home. I'm very sad-cited about the situation... sad to leave our new friends, excited to get back to eat some ketchup chips, live in an apartment larger than a shoebox, and have a well-earned vacation. We've been busy, busy, busy packing, sorting and cleaning (we've each bought 2-3 times our body weight in clothes since arriving here) and we're finding that our suitcases are filling up pretty fast. We've got 5 more working days before we fly to Vancouver for a few weeks. This weekend will be spent in Hongdae, where good times are always had, and horse heads are never too far away.

Over the last week or so, Suwon has hosted an international theater festival. The drama program is a big fat hairy deal at our school, and Shanda is a big fan, so we went to a few shows with her. They were free, and performed around the fortress at night, which made for a really nice backdrop. I was "meh" about the shows (in fairness, I only caught two of them), but it was good to do something different- like see some live theater, and it was in such a nice locale. Here are some pictures form the week, which capped off Saturday with a nice fireworks show (and a trip to the alien norebang)...
