The Weekend

Saturday: Emily and I had lunch on campus and then did some shopping for Jenny's birthday. We also looked at birthday cakes for her. We went for a run in the afternoon. In the evening, we went to a club event in Pusan. One of our dorm managers helped organize the event and he wanted us to come and support him.

Today: I worked on some homework in the morning and then went to church. After church I met up with 정관 (Jeong Kwan) to go to a Korean wedding.  정관 didn't know where the wedding was...so we took a few different buses and ended up taking a taxi to the place and being about 10 minutes late. A Korean wedding is so different from the weddings back home. This particular one took place in a large room, but the back part was just kind of a foyer and people attending the wedding were just standing around and talking while the 'ceremony' was taking place. It also was very quick; we were 10 minutes late and we only saw about 10 minutes and then it was over! Then the bride and groom change into traditional Korean clothes and take some traditional pictures. We were given coupons to a buffet so we went to eat-there was so much food!! 정관 said that we were supposed to be able to congratulate the couple, but we did not see them in the buffet restaurant.


In the evening, we went out to a BBQ place for Jenny's birthday dinner. Afterward, we had a cake from Tous Les Jours on campus. It was yummy! :)
