So it was my birthday this week. To do something special for it I went to Daejeon for the first time. A wonderful friend hosted me for the weekend. She is the absolute best!!! We did many things but the coolest was going to a dog cafe. Yes dog cafe, which is exactly what it sounds like it is. You walk in and pay a cover charge of 6,00 won which is less than 6 dollars American.For the 6,000 won you get to stay and play with all of the dogs for as long as you want and you get any drink you want off of the menu. In the center of the room there is a fenced off area and there were about 10 dogs. outside of the fenced in area are table with comfy sofas where you can drink your drinks. If you want to you can carry the dogs out of the fenced in area and cuddle with them back at your table, which I totally did with the white Pomeranian you see me holding in the video.

This was such a great experience! I had so much fun playing and snuggling with all of the dogs. The dogs are constantly being handled by people so they were all really loving and mellow. It was my first time going to a dog cafe and it won't be my last. I know there are cat cafes too but I haven't been to one yet. A few of my friends have been to cat cafes and from what I understand they have a cover charge as well but there is no fenced in area they just roam free in the cafe. If you are ever in South Korea you should go to one of the many dog cafes that can be found here!

Open Class Day



Today was an Open Class Day at my school. It was a half day for my students and their parents came in for the whole day. Their parents watched them in a homeroom class and in a special class (like English). Then the students performed for their parents. They did dance routines, musical numbers, and they put on plays. They also had their art work on display in the hallways. I only got to see the grade 3 and grade 5 hallways and classrooms because those were the only two floors that I worked on that day.

Korean Drinks 8

I tries two new drinks that I found at the convenience store. One was a plum juice and the other was a peach juice. The plum juice tasted a little wattered down, but the peach juice was good if you like the taste of peaches.

Korean Wedding

I went to a Korean wedding today! It was a lot of fun and if anyone is ever invited to one you should defiantly go. The Bride was breathe taking!!! I mean it. She was absolutely gorgeous! It was interesting how casual it was for the guests. some people were wearing jeans and sneakers. One of my co-teachers brought her two little boys, ages 6 and 4, even though they weren't invited. Some people stayed for the whole thing and other people left as soon as the bride entered the church and walked past them.
