Nami Island & Learning Korean

Last weekend was a 3 day weekend because of Korea's National Foundation Day & I have no idea what that is.
Saturday night, we met up with Pajai's sisters and friends at Thai Garden in Itaewon. Quite a few girls showed up. Choua made reservations so we got our own semi private room. We made it a surprise "bachelorette/bridal shower party" for Pajai. Girls' nights are always fun.. especially with wonderful girls.
My cousin Phumee came up to Seoul also so we took a trip to Nami Island together with Shengmee. It was beautiful. I've always wanted to go there. Seriously. ever since I saw Winter Sonata in 2005/2006 or something. Anyway, we made a 2 hour subway trip to Hapjeong Stn. After waiting for about 30 minutes for a taxi, we finally got one.. who almost killed us. He was doing 80 down a curvy road, passing up a bus, and hitting the breaks right in time while another car tried getting in front of us from a small road. This homie opened the door and yelled at that other driver for a good minute before speeding off again. Korean cab drivers are reckless, but so convenient :/

Here's a picture from the island:

Here's one of us girls:

And here's a random shot I took with the beautiful colored leaves:

There were sooo many couples there. Next time, I'd like to go as a couple also :P

I started taking a free Korean class on Saturday mornings. It has been nice. I hope I can continue to go. 

Here's a picture of my small class. 

This picture was taken by a guy in my class. I'm the one sitting in the front.. like a nerd.
I'm in level 1A, which is the level right after level 0 (where you learn the Korean alphabet) :P 

I've been here for 6 months now! So crazy. Everyone's asking if I'm going to re-sign or not. I haven't decided yet. It's too soon to tell. 
I have so many stories to share, but not enough time to write it all out.
