Kimchi, Ice Skating and Santa Con..... Week 17

This time of year is Kimchi making time....so on Monday.....one of my coteachers brought everyone a bag of homemade  Kimchi to take home. Free food. Score.

Then on Wednesday one of my other Coteachers invited us round to her house to try her new kimchi. So I had my very first home cooked Korean meal <3 I ate a LOT of food and was sooo full. I went to sleep with a happy tummy!

On Wednesday I did my volunteering, and the boy was all excited to show me his English test results. He got 60% which he seemed really happy about - it's my last visit next week - So I think I will get him a little Christmas present.

Friday night - a few of us went round to Meabhs and we watched Home Alone.....well I say watched.....it was on - we mainly just drank cheap wine, ate chocolate and talked about The Sims....

 
On Saturday we went Ice Skating - on an outdoor rink. I was really happy when I found out that there was one in Daegu - so we went on the opening day! It was supposed to be 1000 won - 50p for one hour skate rental - but we all got it for free. I'm not sure if it's because we are foreigners or because it was the opening night - but either way....we got it for free. :)

Then downtown for our 'Santa Con' - we met in From B where we were given candy to hand out to people on the street - I put my onesie on - then we walked around Daegu giving out the candy to  people on the streets. Then we went onto the stage in front of the department store and sang Christmas Carols! Then  we hit the bars - and of course I kept requesting Christmas songs.

 It felt so nice to be all dressed up together and making people happy by giving them candy...who doesn't like free food! Whilst walking around with all the Santas I had one of those - I am reallly really happy right now moments - which made me feel all nice and warm inside! Haha! <3

After paying for skiing for my birthday- I am super skint - so I don't have money left to eat out - I am only allowing myself to eat what I have in my freezer and school lunches. So drinking on an empty stomach meant that I was DEFINITELY in the Christmas ermm spirit!!

I feel like I had a very festive weekend - Home Alone, Ice Skating and a night out dressed as Santa. I am getting really excited about how Christmas will play out - it will be my very first Christmas not with my family so it's going to be different - but different can be good :)

One thing that has been annoying this week is my creepy life like dreams. I think my brain associates December and getting excited for Christmas with being in Newcastle - so in my dream world I'm there. I've been to Sinners, mushroom and Koos so far! On Tuesday morning I actually woke up super confused as to where I was. But I guess this makes this song relevant...... I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreammmmmsssss <3 <3
