Happy Thankspaydayfriday

Last weekend was insanely busy. Friday some friends and I attended the ballet show Swan Lake - yes they actually came to Andong. I could barely believe it myself. Surprisingly, there were a few foreigners dancing in the show. It was my very first ballet and I really REALLY enjoyed it. The sets were beautiful as were the costumes and of course the dancing. I could have stayed all night, but sadly the show eventually ended and we then all headed to a friends apartment for a Canadian birthday bash. I'm also now obsessed with this song:

Saturday morning came and I headed to 안동 경안신육원 (Andong Gyeongan Sinyukwon) orphanage for the fall festival. Although it was pretty chilly, the day was still great and the kids seemed to have a blast! Please check out this link to view photos. If it doesn't work, please let me know.

I do have to say this little one was very energetic and quite the entertainer. I didn't understand anything he said, but he just cracked me up. Photo credit Magdel Smith.

As soon as the fall festival was completed a friend and I headed to her apartment to gather her things and we literally ran to catch our bus to Daegu for yet another birthday celebration! I give you Mr. Tom Bass! Hope you had a good birthday best friend. Photo credit Leandi Pienaar. 

Yeah I know, I'm getting really lazy with taking photos. Hopefully no one minds I stole their photos. If they do mind, that would be awkward now would it?!


Story:  about 8-10 6th graders surrounded my desk

student: (said in snarky tone and maybe even a little eye rolling) Do you speak Korean?
me: A little, do you speak English?
all other students: AAAAGGGHHHHH, OOOOHHHHHHHH!! while running around the classroom
Snarky 6th grader: giggles with head down 

Almost forgot how fun it is to bring preteens back down a notch.

My sister sent an email with this photo. Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving back home. I WANT THANKSGIVING FOOD.
