Halloween

Last night there was a big Halloween party at the Blue Agave (foreign pub). Nearly everyone got dressed up or wore masks. Vampires, werewolves, angels, badminton players and pirates. I haven't been to a Halloween party in forever! so, even though I felt like crap -- because I went to the pub on Friday night instead when no one was there and drank too much then did nothing yesterday-- I went.
Never one for dressing up at Halloween, I went to E-Mart and bought a 1/2 mask like the ones they wear at Carnival (Spanish Accent). Stayed for one beer and went home. Glad too, because today is nothing but blue skies and I want to drive the coastal roads to the beach or for a hike. Something.
Next week (Nov 6 - 9) Jeremy (co-worker), Ms. Kang (boss at the center) and me are going to Busan for some English festival. Have a feeling we'll be monkeys' in a cage again but I'm excited to see the boys at O'Briens pub; maybe play some poker there. Course, it's an all expense paid trip which always makes it better :) The island is very nice but it is small and already I'm tiring of meeting the same people over and over again.
The weather is still really nice here. I'd say about 20C.
Yestearday, Anne-Marie and I drove down to the 5 day Market (it's held ever 5 days). It's kind of an outdoor market, tent coverings, everything for cheap, little restaurants. We bought some fruit and camomile tea in bulk. Was going to buy Ginsing but they're nuts, $50 for a small box. They said it stops you from getting cancer. So will quitting smoking but you don't see me doing that do ya? Haha, I'm funny.
And I don't know what the deal with that was but at the Market so many of the vendors had huge plastic bowls filled with earth and HUGE grubs. At least 2 x the size of my thump. All you could see were their fatty, milk white bodies moving, making the earth seem like it was breathing. Eeew. I think they eat them as a kind of apetizer. Like bundaegi.
