6 MONTHS!!!!

So I have now hit 6 months and can't believe it has been that long.  I am halfway done!  I was looking through my older posts and saw the pics of my apartment when I first got here s I decided to show a contrast of how it looked then and now.  It is small but very cozy and suits me well.

Before I lived out of my suitcases for a month!  Had only a bed, washer and sink!


Kitchen

Now!



I am even putting little things on the walls so it isn't so white.  I am mostly collecting postcards to put up.  I am trying really hard not to collect too much stuff because I am leaving at some point and don't need it.  So half way done and 6 more months to go.  I am not exactly sure what is happening when my contract is up.  I have a few different options now but some decisions have to be made before I can make one.  Maybe coming home, maybe going somewhere else, who really knows!!  Just trying to enjoy now as much as I can.

Gangnam Night out

Lauren, Cass and I have all had many stressful weeks and needed a night out.  We went to Gangnam this time.  We did hit a Noraebang this time and as always had a blast but thank goodness no pics!  We did dinner first at a restaurant called Brasilia and it was a Brazilian steak house.  I am not a huge steak eater but it was pretty tasty!  



At this bar Woodstock they had a cool hat and vest set on the wall!

Finally relaxed and having a good time!

 Rainbow bar.  Neat place.

We are glowing!!


Another great night with the girls!

The Mission Musical

A dad of two students at school works at a performing arts center and gave us all tickets to this musical called "The Mission."  It was not really that good but amazing sets and nice theater.  He also got us all VIP tickets but I am not sure what the advantages of that were.  Her are a few pics that were taken.

A neat statue thing outside the building.

All tv screens with pictures.


Pretty, old fashioned like inside.

Red carpet photo op.  The girls!

The boys!

Lauren and Nic did a prom photo!

Qasem with Rachel's niece Sally.

Every seat had a tv screen and it showed Korean sub titles for the play.  This play was in English but with harsh accents so we could have used English subtitles still.

The show was bad but we still had fun just being out and doing something different!  All teachers from school went and we are a fun group!

Pet Cafe

So a friend told me about this place called a Pet Cafe and you can go and just play with dogs while having coffee or something.  So Lauren and I went to check it out and it was such a cool place.  So many dogs, all loving and wanting to be petted.  Here are some of the pics I took!  I will definitely be going back here at least a few times!


This crazy yellow lab decided Lauren's coat was a fun thing to chew on!









The Golden Retriever, who I am sure was the owners, would take your check for you to check out!

They were allowed anywhere!

I loved this Schnauzer




Yes, it has orange feet and a colorful tail!

This Schnauzer would not leave this guy.  It wasn't his dog but I think the couch was the dogs!





Smallest dog by far!  Maybe 2 pounds.





Our check!

Some dog I saw on the way home.

Perfect place for those of who want a dog here but can't!!
