Last weekend was eventful. I attended my cousin's wedding with my parents and met relatives of mine. On the same day, I threw a party for my friend Scott who just arrived the country to teach and Sarah leaving for the U.S., her home town.
Thankfully, everyone that I invited gathered. I was a bit disappointed with the fact that some said they can't make it. But they all came.
Speaking of Sarah / Joe's sister, she said she was done with Korea for now. After spending a year, she seemed to be a bit frustrated with many things. I had opportunities to hear about her stories where she did not like her coworkers and had unpleasant experience with locals. I thought it was very unfortunate that she went through it.
And my friend Scott. We met back in 07 while he was a summer program student at Ajou University, my alma mater. Honestly speaking, we were not that close to each other, but he is from Iowa where I spent my 4 month stay back in 2004 as an exchange student at the University of Iowa. I really enjoyed it so thus I thought I would show the same or more extend of hospitality to those coming from the state to Korea. And Scott was one of them-
Ed, Joe, Sarah, Scott, Rick, Bong and Hwanki.. we all congregated, drank, ate and hung out together. It was very much nice to be able to do it with the cool breeze of fall on the rooftop overlooking Nam San tower.
I am looking forward to the next congregation. I proposed that we go to a ball game sometime. I will make it happen whether it is baseball or soccer.
Goodbye, Sarah.
Welcome back Scott.
