Christmas & New Years!

Christmas was relaxing and enjoyable. Drew & Andrea invited many of us foreigners for Christmas Eve. I eagerly accepted and headed down to their place on the 3rd floor when the night arrived. My pictures didn't really turn out, but I did manage to get one of their tree.
Good looking little Christmas tree!
New Years!!! Ending one interesting year & beginning another!
I happened to be sick for New Year's Eve, so the majority of my friends went out to play with out me. However, Jina was kind enough to take me to Nampo-dong to witness the ringing of New Years.

We both were able to write a New Year's wish on a piece of paper. It was then folded & tied to the rope for good luck. The wood carving is most typically formed in the shape of a duck that will sail away with our wishes.

Almost ready to start the countdown for the bell ringing of New Years!


Drumming & dancing right after the ringing of the bell. Personlly, this made it feel like New Years! Everyone was having a blast!
