Happy New Year from Korea!

We went to a cool boardgame cafe in Cheongju and played Ticket to Ride!

Happy New Year from South Korea! It's officially 1/1/2013 here and we're hoping to weather some school issues and have everything work out in our favor. If not then it's off to greener pastures (hopefully) with a sprinkling of trouble for what we'll be leaving behind.

The new year means several things though, including remembering to write 2013 instead of 2012 and the approach of the year that means we'll be homeward yet again. Here's hoping that the rest of the time we have here goes well and will provide us with lots of fun times and good memories.

While our New Years celebration has been pretty low key, we did get to spend time with our friends who will be in Seoul for a few months longer before backpacking through Europe and heading homeward. We had dinner at a local foreigner bar (which always has delicious Western food), and ice skated our way to the board game cafe. By ice skated I mean that they do a poor job of sidewalk and road clearing and we literally shuffled/skated our way down the completely icy roads. Afterward we came back and played some Minecraft before heading to bed.

Then tonight (New Year's Eve, though we've already passed that time) we came back after hanging out and eating/shopping in Shinae and relaxed before they headed off to the bars for a New Year's celebration. A good night to consider the future and what things hold. :)

Happy New Year everyone. May 2013 bring you good things in all shapes and forms!
