17th day in Korea (MERRY CHRISTMAS)

25th December, 2011 (6:20pm Korea time)

Merry christmas everyone!!
It is freaking cold here in Seoul. I hope you had a great day today with your family. Opening presents... And remember Jesus' birthday. It's about love. Ok.

Today.. We spent a normal Christmas. No.. It was tiring. Yesterday we slept at 1 in the morning and woke up today at 6am. Had to go to church with grandma. It was boring as hell. But today is all about family and Jesus.

We then bought a birthday cake and the scarf we bought before to grandpas house. It was my step grandmas birthday today. I think she's 65... I'm not sure.

Anyway we went and the two sons(step grandmas) and a baby and a wife. They are really nice. Well, the younger son is and the baby is so cute. The wife is the older son. Shes from north korea.. I asked how she came here... But grandma came in... So I don't know.

We went to a buffet. Haha.. The step grandma accidentally dropped the plate and it smashed. But the service was great. They were like. Oh, don't worry. Are you okay?(because the grandma has a bad leg.. Always needs support.. Dragging me next to her).

And now we are at my grandmas house. My mums friend from yes.. 20 years ago is here with her younger son. He is so cute with his tiny brown curly hair. He's about 5 years old. But he keeps asking me to sing with him. This cartoon with buses and trains talking. It's called Poli. Man, it's annoying. Over and over again. Apparently, he doesn't open up to much people. Lucky me... But he is really cute.

I locked myself in here to take a rest from the noise. Oh, you know everything is opened here(shops) and most of them are on sale. So everyone is going shopping. But we don't have time.

Let me see. This is what I bought for myself.

- schedule planner($4 which is really expensive for me)
- a highlighter (35c)
- 2 glue stick ($3)
- face wash ($3)
- toner and lotion for the face ($10)

Yeah, that's about it. Most of the stuff I bought is for others like:

- dads shoes ($90)
- step grandmas scarf and traditional bag ($15)
- step grandmas birthday cake ($22)
- friends souvenirs
- old friend from 10 years ago a flower ($4 for a rose petal)
- money for cousins ($100) and ($50)

Not only that we took my cousins and the old friends out so we had to pay all.
Sorry for ranting out. Haha.. But I dont regret anything. It was so fun. Even though it was a lot of money it was really fun. I wish we could do it again. But everyones busy. And we only have 3 more days left in Korea. :( the days go by really quickly. Grandpa promised me he will live till I get married. He wants to check him first. He has to be nice, handsome and rich. That's going to be hard.. Haha.

Well, I am going to go through all the pictures I took since the first day. Noo!!! I want to stay here a little longer. But I miss the long warm showers, Sam, my friends, ribs, not really my dad ( since he calls like every second day.. Hes counting the dates when we come back. Hes like sharmbo(my nickname only to him) i miss you), my piano and again I miss Sam.

Anyways, I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and hope to see you soon :)

Yours truly,

Sharna
