celebration!



this year, to welcome both the lunar new year and my personal new year, aka my birthday, my friends, amanda, chris, ui-jin and i went out of the city to a coastal town called donghae. (note: if you ever visit donghae, do not be freaked out by the fact that at some crosswalks, there are no traffic lights. pedestrians have the right of way and cars are very courteous and obedient!) even though we were stuck in traffic for nearly 6 hours, (besides it being a 4-day holiday weekend, it was also lightly snowing.) i didn't really mind. i was afterall, on a minivacation and slept most of the way. after we arrived in "downtown" donghae, we continued onwards towards the beach and to our pension.

our pink, purple, and with lots of bows pension:
