buddha lantern fest
In many Asian countries for obvious reasons, Buddhas birthday(석가탄신일) is a big deal celebrated with fireworks and dancing and Lanterns. Even though Korea is one of the most Christian Asian nations, it was still no exception since 63% of the population is Buddhist. The birthday is a national holiday (well except at my school) but on Sunday I got to experience the beauty of the lotus lantern festival.

Welcome to the Good Life
It feels like Atlanta, it feels like NY, summertime Chi, ...and Seoul.
I am having a great time here. I can't believe I almost didn't come and for the most asinine reasons. I realize its been a long time since I wrote, so I am going to try to catch you up...
