Poker Face

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I had a pretty good Valentine's Day today. Tiffany and I went to Itaewon to get a haircut/facial. Tiffany got the haircut, I got the facial. It was my first time ever having a facial before and the cute little Korean woman kept "yelling" at me every few minutes to relax. It was kind of weird, having someone massage your face and also to have something completely covering your face and eyes for 20 minutes. My skin feels amazing now though. It was definitely an experience I wish to repeat. Anyway, then we wandered around Itaewon to find a place to eat dinner and we found this place called "The Frying Pan" that had the most AMAZING breakfast food I've ever had in my entire life (next to my daddy's cooking of course, hehe). I ordered French toast and bacon. The French toast had ricotta cheese, syrup, and strawberries on it. The strawberries were bursting with flavor. It was impressive. After this, we decided it was time to shop so we went to Myeong Dong's Forever 21 store and I bought three shirts, a cardigan, a tank top, and an "environmentally friendly" shopping bag that has a cute little owl on it and says "Keen on Green." :-) Everything was on sale too so that was great.

So yes. The day was pretty good.

A couple weeks ago I finally experienced Noraebang. Noraebang is a karaoke place. You go into this store and you rent out your own private room for an hour or so and you can sing karaoke for a whole hour. It was so much fun. I met up with my friend Kathy who I'd met in the US at MSU a couple years ago. She'd come back to Korea last year so I hadn't seen her in over a year so it was great to catch up. Anyway, we (me, Kathy, Kathy's friend, and Tiffany) sang all these ridiculous 90s songs like "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and had fun.

The weeks are flying by. I'm almost to the halfway mark...
