Korean Thanksgiving, Choo Sok, 4 days holiday!

Since it was Korean Thanksgiving we also wanted to have a good dinner to celebrate it and it's so rare that we get such a long break here and our company usually makes us work on public holidays so we just had to let our hair down n celebrate!!
We had dinner at a very good Italian restaurant, Antonio's in Apgujeong. Pasta and pizza were so good, felt like i wasn't in korea for a moment.

Xuewei and wanrou joined us for dinner too.
Ilya and I.
According to him, this is Asian style to take pictures.hehe
Foo and I had fantastic chinese dinner. It was so good i was jumping in my seat the whole time, then we went to star city to take a walk cos we ate too much. This was taken outside a teddy bear shop there.
We decided we wanted to get out of Seoul for a day so we went to Mt Everland. We wanted to go to the aquapark, Carribean Bay.
On the train there..

Finally, after train n an hour's bus ride we arrived in Everland!
Carribean Bay! Yevgeniy and foo, pirates version..they're still reminiscing Ballet musical shim chung.
And we're re-enacting Titanic!
Hot spa!
In korea, everytime u hit the pools u've to wear swimming caps.so annoying...
chilling out with beers n drinks! we're so lucky to have great weather!
The wave pool! it's so cool..but so many people so u've to be very careful you dun hit anyone when the wave comes.
Bye carribean bay, it was so fun!

Everland Park, we'll go there next time when there's not too many people and when we've a break again, which i foresee will not be too soon..

2 weekends of swan lake in Jeonju and changwon!

So, the first and second weekend of september we were kept busy with Swan Lake, both outside of Seoul. They were the last swan lake performances we were doing for the rest of this year and yeah!!! boy are we happy! No more bloody swans!

We were in Jeonju the first weekend, bout 3hour-drive away from Seoul. We stayed there and my roommate was Jee Eun Petitqueux. I was so happy that we were together.hehe..She's really really cool and we hung out alot. Jeonju city was a bit boring. Hotel was very nice but there were no shops or restaurants nearby so it was pretty inconvenient.
Jee Eun!

Foo foo and I in polonaise! He refuses to take off his black track pants to show us his white tights! hee..he's shy..he's my partner in polonaise n he talks too much onstage!

Ilya not as rothbart.
Second weekend was further in Changwon. It was bout 5 hours away from Seoul. OMG, I'm so sick of riding long hours on the bus. The hotel was not as nice but the location was pretty good. There were plenty of restaurants and clubs and bars around. We liked this place with a live band n good beer so we hung out there after performance for 2 nights. It was the first time i drank so much the night before a performance and i kinda regretted it the next day, so i dun think i'm gonna do it again anytime soon. The rest are used to it, but it was so much fun!!
Jee eun and Ilya when they go drinking.hee..
Yevgeniy and Jee eun..just loving it!!
