A Christmas Feast
The Table
We had a great Christmas party at Sara’s apartment. Moriah and I ordered a giant turkey and ham dinner from a catering place on the US Army Base. We all hosted it and it was a great success. Lots of our co-teachers and friends and their friends came. Everyone brought some food or drinks and it was a great feast! We ate and drank and had a wonderful time!
Merry Christmas!
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
Without Lights
- With Lights
Here is a picture of our Christmas tree at Chad’s place. I decorated this one for us and then I decorated a pink one for my place. I thought this would be the one chance I get to decorate a tree pink with Hello Kitty. The white thing at the top is a little mobile that one of Chad’s students drew Pokémon on. Christmas trees are VERY cheap here but lights are expensive. Also I’ve had trouble finding large rolls of wrapping paper.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
We miss you and hope your holidays are merry and bright!!
Decorating Dilemma!
My perfume collection
I’ve been watching too much HGTV. As a former RA I understand how important it is to make your place feel like home (no matter how big or small.) The students that left after one semester usually never decorated their rooms, never made it feel like home so they would get home sick easily. I definitely want to make this new apartment home. So how to decorate a small studio apartment when you like too many styles…. I like the zen Asian style but that seems to be a bit overkill in Korea. I love the art deco style but that might be out of my price range and harder to find in Korea. I love the modern clean sleek style but that would feel too “magazine” and sterile and could make me feel home sick. I like the vintage 60s-80s style but again that might be harder to find in Korea. So what to do… I was thinking of something eclectic, something “halo-halo” if you will. I like so many things maybe something that is “organized clutter” might just work. I don’t know, any suggestions out there?!?!
Well I think I at least want to have:
Funky Clutter/Toys
Funky Accent Pillows
Bright Colors
