Been a while...

Ok... A lot has happened since I last posted... On March 20th Aaron SBN and I celebrated our birthdays really randomly... We were all getting a late night bite to eat and Aaron nim was like... Hey "IT'S MARCH 20th"!!! Our eyes instantly lit up and we knew it was time to celebrate! We devoured various pan chan dishes, the best fried eggs sunny side up and a main dish of pork foot!... Which was delicious... Then we also were culturally enriched with the introduction to (Mak-Ollie) a traditional Korean rice wine beverage that is served iced... I found it to be very pleasant and refreshing as did the rest of us foreigner's... All in all we had a GREAT TIME! THANK YOU SO MUCH Y.E.H.A. CAPTAINS FOR SUCH AN AWESOME TIME!

Two days later we were off to Jeju island where were greeted by In Ja nim and Costa Diva! Today was a very special day because it was DANIELLE NIM'S BIRTHDAY!!! But first we had to take care of business! We had a demonstration to perform straight off the plane at one of the local universities... Then we had another Y.E.H.A. night where we danced with the members, performed Chun Bu Shin Gong and the Phoenix Dance and celebrated Danielle nim's birthday... Aaron and I were lucky enough to have the whole center sing happy birthday to us along with Danielle... We had what I consider to be one of the best cakes in the world, a variety of pastries and drinks and all kinds of yummy yum yums! ;D

While in Jeju we had a main event demonstration at the Jeju island Convention center... We had a great time performing and the Dangun B Boys never cease to amaze me! They are so talented! Also in Jeju we were lucky enough to visit Cow Island (I forgot how to pronounce it in Korean) There we rented scooters and drove around the whole island! It was SOOOOOOO FUN!!! I had never been on a scooter before but I think it's inspired to get one once I get back home... I can't wait! That same day we got to got to the beach where the water was blue like Hawaii! Aaron nim and I managed to throw ourselves in the water and went for a quick swim... I was over it pretty fast though... I'm no polar bear swimmer... Also another highlight of Jeju island was the opportunity to visit Love Land... There we had SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! MY GOD!!! THAT PLACE IS INCREDIBLE!!! I wish we could have gone there during the day! I know that some day I will go back there... Maybe I can plan a vacation back to Korea and Jeju Island so that I can have more time to frolic and really soak up the culture of the local people...

Today we flew back to the mainland and made our way back Kook Hak Won... HA! I didn't know we were going to lunch so fast and all of a sudden Ana nim is knocking on my door all like... BRANDON! WE'RE ALL WAITING FOR YOU IN THE VAN!!! I was like half naked and laying in bed reading emails... I had to let this lunch session go... I know there will be others... I did laundry and took a well deserved nap... But accidently went into dinner late! (one of those days)... I found myself @ a dining hall with locked doors and the lights off!!! But I was able to catch a comforting remind me of home dinner at Mc Donalds during our trip to EMART!!! There I indulged in a Combo #6 Shanghai Spice Fried Chicken Sandwich!!! It was delicious! (THANKS WU NIM!!!)
On the ride home we had one of the most intense HSP training sessions of my life! Wow! That's all I can say... Wow...

Well it's time for me to hit the hay! Love ya'll and GOOD NIGHT!!!! MuAh!
