same ole same ole

By now the days have alot less excitement than when the first month here.   We have settled into our job, every day is a little different, but it is the same challenges everyday.  I guess that is to be expected from most jobs though, so can't really complain about that.  We try to balance it with making sure that we get out and explore on the weekends, which really reminds us that we are halfway around the world. Like Alison said, we met up with some korean friends two weeks ago, and this past weekend we attended one of our korean co workers weddings.  It was different, held at a wedding hall, where they probably push out 5-6 weddings on a saturday.  Everything is on one floor in building in the middle of the city, so you just move across the hall from the ceremony to the banquet hall.  There is no true reception, just a meal.  Everyone goes through the buffet line of fantastic food and then the bride and groom go around and greet everyone. Its all over in just about two hours.

I also shaved off my beard this past week.  It was beginning to get warm and muggy here, and it was just getting to be a nuisance, so i shaved it off in phases and sculpted it into to nasty facial hair.
