This weekend was pretty awesome, not gonna lie.
Just wanted to document it, cause I don't wanna forget later on.

Saturday.
I had plans to meet up with Sung 오빠 and Jennie Goh for lunch.  Woke up and got on the subway, prepared for a two-hour ride.  I had to transfer twice, but I got on the wrong side each time so I was about twenty minutes late for lunch.  Jennie lost so much weight... jealoussss @__@  She got prettier/cuter (the braces make her look cute hehe).  For lunch I ate 고구마 and cheese 돈까스 (fried.. pork?).  Probably the closest thing to heaven on earth.  After that we walked around and went to a batting cage... it was my first time ever... LOL.  We were all sweating like madddd after only like ten minutes (I'm still slightly sore from it as I type this).  I sucked at it.  Only hit one good one out of thirty.  Haha it was fun though.  After that, Sung 오빠 had to go.  Then Jennie and I hit up LOTTE WORLD!!  Rode the Gyro Drop (twice), the Gyro Swing, the Viking (twice), and Atlantis.  I love the atmosphere there, I felt like a little kid again.  Then of course, we ended the night with some good ol karaokeeeee.

Sunday.
Woke up, went to church.  Rain rain rain.  I hate monsoon season.  After that, I met up with some relatives.  I don't know what you would call them in English... but it was my mother's father's younger brother's family-- him, his wife, and his two sons.  So for the sake of this entry, I'll call them grandma, grandpa, uncle 1 and uncle 2.  When I first met them at the subway station, grandma yelled at me because I misunderstood uncle 2's directions on where to meet them.  Oops.  Bad first impression. Grandma, grandpa, uncle 2 and I went to eat some 안동국시 (uncle 1 was at work).  We talked for a little while, and they said they already liked me a lot because I was so much better at Korean than my brother, who visited them two years ago.  We went to the market cause they needed to buy some groceries.  They also bought me a huge pizza to take back home... lol.  Then we went to their house.  I didn't like the way uncle 2 was treating grandma and grandpa.  He's like 50-something, but his attitude towards them was like that of a teenager.  They were just trying to help me and make me feel as comfortable as possible, but he kept on yelling at them, saying they were suffocating me and bothering me.  Not cool.  Grandma took me to her room and showed me a bunch of old family pictures.  I saw pictures of my own grandma and grandpa (who passed away when I was only five, so I barely remember him) when they were in their 20s/30s.  I saw pictures of my mom when she was a little kid.  Uncle 1 came home from work, and the first thing he said to me was, "You gained weight~" HAHA :(  Later I found out uncle 1 and my mom are really close.  They're only a few days apart, so they went to school together when they were younger and grew up together.  Pretty cool.  Then he gave me about 200,000 won, which is around $210, and told me to go shopping.  Niiiiice.  Then they took me to the subway station and I started to head back.  Got off the subway, then got on a taxi to go home from the station.  Usually, taxi drivers are all really mean to me because I can't speak Korean very well, but this guy was the nicest guy EVER.  He's like this cute old grandpa, and he tried to teach me a few words in Korean.  He seemed really interested, and he kept asking about my family, what I'm doing here, how do I like it here, etc.  He then gave me his business card and told me to call him if I ever needed any help.  Ahhh he was so awesome :)


Haha wow that was long.
But yeah.  Gooood weekend.
