What a fun weekend!!! It started out with a birthday party for a friend and co-worker Kat (who is from Iowa) on Friday night. The night was filled with lots of cake, ice cream and sparklers, which is very typical for birthdays in Korea. It is also tradition to come up with some kind of strange concoction for the birthday girl or boy to drink. It is usually something awful, similar to a fear factor drink and the person cannot refuse the drink or this means they will have a year of bad luck. I'm pretty sure Kat took the bad luck!!!
Last night we made our way to the Turkish restaurant that I'm pretty sure I've talked about before. We went with a group of teachers and some Koreans, and had a really great time. The Turkish restaurant is nice because not only can you have an amazing dinner and dessert, but you can also smoke a hookah or shisha. Now let me explain exactly what a shisha is for those of you who may worry. A shisha is a smoking device that originated in Egypt, and is very popular among the middle eastern countries. You can smoke a variety of herbal fruits, and they have a very nice taste. It's nothing like smoking a cigarette, and it's not illegal or harmful to your health....so don't worry! I found a picture online of a shisha . I forgot to take one at the restaurant because I was too busy trying to capture all of our attempts at becoming dragons for the night :)
