drinks with Jen afterwards. She stole someone's hat. 
after the lantern festival we saw a guy selling puppies in the subway. I WANT ONE.
This is my loot from pepero day, 11/11. You give your friends these chocolate covered sticks because they look like the number "11".  I got all of these (plus at least 4 more boxes, not pictured, already eaten) from my students.

Buchansan
people drinking makgeolli (alcholic drink-rice wine)
and eating food on the mountain. Have I mentioned
that it is very common to drink while hiking?
 I like your style, Korea. 






Jen made us breakfast! What a great hostess. :)
