off to the land of dol hareubangs

it's another pre-vacation eve for us, and we're too excited to sleep. we're heading out early morning to catch a shuttle to the airport for our flight jeju-do (also known as "korea's hawaii," our post report will confirm) for three days of exploring and relaxation. and monday off work!


mark also successfully got his international driver's license this week. as a recommendation from our friend derek, who recently visited the island, renting a car seriously helped the getting-around factor. it was also fairly easy to obtain, too. mark had to show the required ID and his ontario driver's license and pass a sight test (the colour portion proved a little tricky - who needs to know the difference between red and yellow and green anyway?) and tada! officially internationally eligible to drive. good luck to him, i am too scared shitless to drive in the madness that is asian traffic and traffic rules. or rather, significant lack of traffic rules. i will happily be a passenger/backseat driver/navigator instead.

on another note, i finally got around to putting my prescription in my new cheap and stylish frames. and now i can fully fit in with koreans, as 90% of them rock the oversized plastic frames. i made that statistic up, but i'm sure you follow ...


new glasses for ₩40,000 = $35CDN! hello, i am going to be bringing a suitcase full of reasonably-priced prescription glasses home with me to canada.

happy long weekend!
