tea diaries ~~~~~ groooooovy

Went to Cheongju on the mainland this weekend for a little Halloween action. :) Some highlights of the trip:

-Choosing a random bar to chill at in Cheongju only to find 3 or 4 MAGGOTS crawling in and out of the peanuts, corn chips, and dried squid. Yes, maggots. Yes, we probably ate some. Of course it was absolutely necessary to kill said maggots with copious amounts of beer later in the evening.

-Wandering around Cheongju the next day and finding, in Korea's only landlocked province, what looked to be an abandoned boat turned into a restaurant left to decay - windows were smashed, doors were unhinged, and there was a dead rat on the stairs. Good view of the city from the main mast though. :)

-Face painting and general Halloween fun with the kids in Annie's friend's hagwon (after school English academy). Elementary school kids are so cute, I wish I could be teaching them. I'd probably never discipline, just rub their little heads and coo at them, so it's probably good I don't. ;)

-Endless amazing talks with my ETA buddies, till 4 AM every night. You guys rock.

Spent the last couple of days updating my flickr site, I've been like 2 months out of date! Sorry about that. Everything's up there now, organized in sets no less! Check it out, and update your bookmarks. ;)
