Movie Madness and a little taste home (Really little)

Hey again everyone!

Well its Sunday night here and I'm sitting in PC Bang near my home.

I had a lot of fun today, which was great as in the original plan I kind of had today as a write-off. Honestly most Sundays are. I recover from my weekend, take a few trips to stalk up on things I want or need and that's normally it. Or at least has been so far.

But I was down at Speakeasy's again last night, I know I go there a lot, but there's a lot of fun people that I meet and get to know down there, but back to the point. I was playing a game of darts with Paul and talking to our friend Krystin about home, because she's a Canadian like me, from Ontario, I believe.

Side note #2: The myth that every young person in Canada goes to Fort Mac is wrong, they all come here!

But as we talk she laments that she wanted to go skating, but when they had tried it was closed. I agreed that I really missed home and could use a reminder, so we decided to try today.

Well, skating in Korea is interesting, to say the least. This is a popular activity on Sundays because the line up went out the front door. You get your skates from the rental place, all of which look like rollerblades with blades instead of wheels and then go stand in the rink, waiting for the ice to be cleaned. I have no idea what the official man in the middle of the ice was saying to us, but it seemed important. Then they let you on the ice. There were three things with Krystin and I noticed. The first is that you are not allowed in the middle of the rink. You get to skate around the ice, counter clockwise and if you get to close to the line and the pylons, they blow a whistle at you, randomnly there was a figure skater in the middle at one point. The second was how crowded this place was. We could hardly move! Which unfortunately meant no fast laps around the ice. The third was how bad they all were! This is one of the times where I really wished I could speak Korean to try and help these poor people, I mean there were people who seemed to tip toe on the edge of their skates and just tried to walk on the ice as if they were running. Needless to say, I saw a lot of people fall down this afternoon.

In all honesty, I didn't get the fix I was looking for from skating today. I've never been that good but I really like it and I just wanted to be able to glide around the ice a bit, but between the crowds and dodging to make sure I didn't barrel some poor person over or skate on them, I didn't get it. So I'm going to go back again every few days, find out when its open and see if I can find a time that's less crowded.

Aside from that we went and grabbed some lunch at Heim Pizza, still haven't figured out how to order my pizza, but here the Peperoni pizza is good enough, that stuff is DELICIOUS! I don't think I can get enough of it. And then we went and saw Yes Man. This is the second time I've seen it, but still just as hilarious! That's pretty much my day today, Back to work tomorrow.

See you!
