This is the view I saw on Christmas Day. It was such a beautiful day, about 5 degrees outside. Since then, especially the last couple of days, it's dropped down to about -10 degrees. It feels like about -20 with the windchill and if you've ever been to downtown Toronto, pretty much a normal winter day there but a little colder than normal here. During the winter here in Korea there are usually 4 days of cold and then 3 warm days which means that tomorrow should be the last of this cold spell.

On Christmas Eve, Tony, Rob and Paul had their usual arguments about stuff. One of the arguments was that Tony bought Rob, Paul and I toques with AC Milan logos on them. Paul asked him nicely why he bought them and why he should wear it because he's a Liverpool supporter. Tony forgot that after 7 years of knowing Paul that he was in fact born in Liverpool and was a Liverpool supporter. It was an absent minded action from Tony I must say. But we all know it was the thought that counts.

On Saturday, December 29th, we all went to a Morrocan Food Buffet. It was great to have everybody there but unfortunately we couldn't all sit together because the Ambassador of Iraq and all his colleagues were having a huge meeting and dinner. We had to wait for a table but once we did, we all enjoyed a great feast! I'm not sure of the names of all the dishes but I will remember one of them, Fal Fal which is a red pepper stuffed with rice and vegetables. They were tasty! There was also curry chicken, roast lamb, roasted potatoes, and so much more and it's making me hungry again just thinking about it! We stayed for a couple of hours and just stuffed ourselves.
It was so good that we went again the next night but this time just Paul, Chris from Preston, and I.



Above is a picture of Richard. He's from Nigeria and he's a great guy. I think he enjoys Korea for the most part but at times it's difficult for him. The other night he wanted to go to one of his favorite clubs but wasn't allowed in because the sign on the door said 'No Nigerians or Pakistanis Allowed'. He's a great guy and I hope that one day I'll be able to see him in his native country.



Later on that night it snowed heavily but just for a short time and it melted pretty quick. It cooled off very quickly after that and we enjoyed the rest of the night inside watching football in Hollywoods, pretty exciting games and lots of goals.
