Makkoli Migraine - Saturday Feb. 16, 2008

So my new routine is go to sleep late and wake up late. This is going to be an impossible schedule to maintain when school starts. Anyway, I got up around noon and walked to Lotte Cinema to meet up with Julie and her fiance. Julie wasn't exactly feeling the greatest which didn't surprise me at all; makkoli headaches are some of the worst headaches EVER! I don't know what it is about them that destroys your head for the entire next day after drinking too much makkoli, but it is one heck of a horrible feeling.

Julie's fiance and her have only been seeing each other for a few months, so I was quite surprised that she not only met a guy but that they are also already engaged. He is a really nice guy though. We went to Cafe Novelino to have coffee, and he and I talked with our minimal knowledge of each others' languages while Julie left to throw up. Poor girl. His name is...Hyung Gu, I think. He is 35 years old, he is a manager at a company where they make fire hoses, he likes in-line skating, and he wants to travel to Australia and New Zealand someday. He was shy; he was nervous to meet me. After coffee, we went to see a movie together, Spiderwick Chronicles. If you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend it. I really liked it; it is fantastical in nature.

After the movie, we were going to go to dinner, but Julie had to go home; she just really did not feel very good. So, I ate dinner with my host family right before a friend of my host father's from high school came over with his wife and two sons. Their sons were 10 and 12; my host sibs are 11 and 12 so it worked out well. My host fam's friends were really nice; I hung out with all of them for a while toward the end of the night. We didn't go to bed until almost 1:00AM; the family spent the night.
