emily's "last hurrah"
i swear
i've never laughed so hard.
these girls made my final weekend in korea something to remember.
on friday night, they helped trenton and angela put on a surprise farewell party for me ... we played mafia and ate chocolate fondu and delicious cheesecake.
saturday they stole me away to seoul, where we wandered around looking at beautiful, random art.
when it began raining cats and dogs, we ran for shelter and found comfort in an ice cream cake, which we destroyed and devoured.
following that, we got a hotel, and naomi and i watched a movie and desperate housewives while emma went off and partied till 5 am :)
early the next morning (7 am) naomi and i found our way to 'yangjae park' where we were registered to run a 10 kilometre race to raise money for kids with cancer. we found ourselves in a luscious, green terrain with hundreds of koreans and only 3 foreigners. it was fantastic. we ran along a river and made it in 58 minutes... a personal best :)
after earning our 'gold medals' we made our way to a local jimjilbang (sauna) where we showered off and then bussed home...
how fitting, that i would run across a literal finish line at the end of my time here. this whole weekend was a gift from God... a package of memories to take with me to canada.
