Not a bad day

Happens it's my birthday. Made it through another year.

While I didn't really party hearty I did get together with some folk. My new language exchange partner invited me to meet with her and her English study group. A bit of an adventure finding the place but I met her at the 중앙파출소 Jungang Pachulso or Central Police Station (which caused some concern when I mentioned to someone else that was where I was going). Just some friendly conversation and coffee with some interesting people.

In the evening  my other language exchange partner and her friend helped me shop for some things. I picked out a microwave oven, a sort of toaster oven (they don't have toaster ovens in Korea like they do in the US), and an iron. Didn't buy them because it was raining and we wanted to get some dinner. We went to a traditional Korean porridge restaurant because I'm still babying my stomach a bit. All the food on my tray cost 8,000 won, about $7.

All in all not a bad way to spend my birthday.
