Rawr?
This weekend was bubbling in awesomness, starting with Maggie's arrival late Thursday night and ending...well, not ending yet.
Let's see, what did we do? She came to school with me on Friday, and provided excellent moral support when I got an email telling me that even if I get accepted into my Education grad school program, I'm missing three prerequisite classes... :( Then we went out for a raucous Itaewon night, starting with drag queen bingo (that's bingo, called by the oozing-fabulousness Nevada with her pink feather boa and her memory-foam boobs).
We wandered through a part of Seoul known for its still-functional ancient houses, and looked at jewelry in Insadong on Saturday. Then we met with Nam Hee, Ah Young and Tack Youn for a yummy
dinner of budae jigae (after I pestered all of them over numerous text messages for kimchi jigae this was the compromise we reached). We laughed, reminisced, sighed, gossiped, all over ramen stew and later, tea and coffee, staying out later than any of us had planned.
Sunday morning saw a scrumptious brunch at the Flying Pan in Itaewon. The reviews of this place did not lie. It was one of the best non-Korean meals I've had in Seoul. Maybe one of the best meals, period. Maggie and I, with our innate ability to sniff out any Starbucks in the vicinity, holed up in one to wait for Min Jung to come visit, and thus the cycle of ASW reunions in Seoul ended. Well, for the people we cared about, anyway.
Tack on two days of shopping - the kind of shopping that leaves you warm and satisfied, and excited to go to work the next day if only to show off your finds - and you have a perfect 3-day weekend. Top it all off with one final girl's night at Woodstock: mugs of Cass, a winning streak in Rummy, requesting all the silly, singalong music we love so much and giggling the night away...
I think I'm ready for Evan to come now.
