New Years in Seoul

My four day, three night adventure in Seoul for New Years had to be the most fun that I have had since coming to Korea. I went with my Canadian friend, Joanna, and we met up with two of her girlfriends that she met at her orientation who live and teach in other cities in Korea. Ashlea, the blonde, is originally from Canada and teaches in Wonju and Hope, the Asian, is originally from Texas, but speaks some Korean, and teaches in a small city outside of Seoul. Seoul is the capital of South Korea, has 22 million people residing in it and there probably was another 2 million there to ring in the New Year. It was like being in New York City. Since it was way too cold to take in the festivities and lights of the city, us girls chose to join a party, which was a New Years Eve Ball held on the military base. We had an absolute blast, especially being the prettiest girls at the party and having all the guys drool. The ticket was only 45,000 Won, which is about $40 US dollars, and it included party favors, DJ and dancing until 4am, appetizers until 1am, champagne toast at 12am, and a five course breakfast at 2am.
