We have had the past four days off of work due to Children's Day. Once school closed on Wednesday we were ready for the long break. Fred and I decided not to travel due to the large number of travelers on the roads. Instead we stuck around Suji and Seoul. On Thursday we met up with some co-workers and headed to a nearby park for a picnic and some soccer. After a few hours in the sun we were ready for margartias in honor of Cinco de Mayo. We headed to our favorite Mexican restaurant for food and drinks. On Friday it was rainy so we spent the day inside and shopping around Suji. On Friday night we went out for chicken galbi and met up with our friends Ann and Collin. On Saturday Fred, Ann and I headed into Seoul for the Lotus Lantern Festival. The city was transformed in honor of Buddha's birthday, this coming Tuesday. We walked around temples before getting our seats for the Lantern Parade. The parade started at 7pm and didn't end until after 9:30. The lanterns were very cool and full of details. I even got one from one of the parade walkers. It turned out to be a great long weekend!
