Christmas in Korea

Well, the teachers at my school had to work Christmas until 10:30pm and then again Christmas Day from 10am to 4pm, so we had our Christmas celebration after work on Christmas Day... until VERY late that night/early the next morning.

First, we had a Christmas party at the some of the teachers' apartment.








Then we wound up in a noraebang (karaoke room) singing Christmas carols...





And finally, we danced like crazy at a club until about 6 am.

Getting ready for Christmas

Wow! It's hard to believe it's so close to Christmas already!

I ordered a Christmas tree last weekend.... artificial, since I haven't seen any place to get real trees. It was delivered Thursday, complete with lights and decorations, so I set it up.

Now, I just need some presents to go under it! LOL

I adopted a dog!

Most of the teachers at my school have a pet of some kind. A number of them have adopted through one of the rescue organizations such as Animal Rescue Korea. Well, after looking through their site and thinking about if for a couple of weeks, I finally decided to adopt a white minature schnauzer.







She's a 4-5 years old pure-bred that had been used for breeding. She follows me everywhere and is always right beside me. As I type this, she is lying about 2 feet from me snoozing away.

The people at the rescue named her Rada. I don't care for that name very much, so I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with that or change it to something else. Since I got her a day and a half ago, I haven't had to call her anything... since she's always right there. So far the thoughts/suggestions have been Prada, Cenna, Squeak (since she's been debarked), and Kimchi....

Suggestions anyone?
