Vacation...

It's been a few days since I last posted and it's purely because I'm lazy and on vacation. I realized the other day that I don't think I've ever truly had a whole week off with nothing to do. Of course I have things I'd like to do, but I also have 11 more months in which to do them. However, I have done a few things, nothing special, but I got a little more sightseeing in. On Monday I went to the 63 Building and saw Seoul from above. It was kind of a hazy and humid day, but I still had fun and saw enough.
Tuesday I went to Dongdaemun Market and was overwhelmed by the amount of stuff people were selling. They also had street food and pretty much everything I expected of a Korean market. However, it wasn't quite as big as I had imagined, but enthralling nonetheless. I don't have any pictures because I feel weird about taking pictures of people or their stuff, but I will at some point. I was lazy on Wednesday and today and I didn't do anything except for go to the grocery store and watch Discovery Channel and fiddle with iTunes (yes, I just discovered the awesomeness of iTunes and an iPod touch is looking very intriguing). I felt guilty about not embracing the city, but I also wanted a few days to relax. Tomorrow promises to be an exciting day as I plan on going to Olympic Park and back to COEX (I need a power cord for my NintendoDS and they have a Nintendo store that hopefully sells the cord). I think I'll do something on Saturday as well, but Sunday is cleaning, lesson planning and chilling before going back to work on Monday.
