The Way of the Tiger


Yep: it was a weekend much-anticipated and quite enjoyed. We had one day off to help usher in the white tiger of 2010, and no, Lunar New Year is NOT just for the Chinese. 새해 복 많이 바드세요 Here is an interesting and timely story I found posted by author Paulo Coelho on his blog.

As for my own weekend, here's what I thought you should know:

Friday night kickoff with taekwondo, chicken burritos, friends, and youtube: check.
Andy Warhol exhibit at Seoul Art Museum, walk downtown, and homemade Lunar New Year meal: check.
Hookah and tea and philosophy and art and tears and curses until 3 am with a friend who’s had her heart broken: check.
Long-distance threat phone calls to India: check.
Early morning Lunar New Year homemade brunch on the floor with Korean friends: check.
Movies and laughter and indecisions and lounging: check.
Romantic candlelit Valentines dinner (for four): check.
Lots of Skyping and chatting with long-losties: check.
A complete day without once stepping foot outside the apartment: check.
Gift box of Spam and bottle of wine: received.
Various chocolates and junk food and first coffee in a week: consumed.
Well-rested: possibly. Content: definitely. Ready for work: no, thanks.
