Last Weekend in Korea

Our last weekend in Korea is officially over.  It was a busy one as we each spent a lot of time with friends.  Eric spent Saturday with a couple of the families he has been doing private tutoring for and Sunday with some of his coworkers.  On Friday night a couple of our friends spent the night at our house so we could watch movies and spend a nice, late night together.  On Saturday morning my friend and I went to a cafe I have been wanting to go to for a while called Dr. Fish.  They have a couple fish tanks here with little tiny fish, officially called Garra rufa, in them.  When you put your bare feet in the tanks these fish start to nibble on them (they don't have teeth) and nibble away all of the dead skin on your feet.  It felt really, really weird at first, like something was crawling on my feet, but after a couple minutes it just felt like a really nice foot massage, or a fish pedicure I guess.  Our feet were definitely smoother after letting the fish nibble on them for twenty minutes!  Now my feet are nice and smooth for the beaches of Koh Samui :)  Sadly, these "fish pedicures" are banned in the US and only available in Asia...

I spent both Saturday night and Sunday night with some of my friends having dinner and enjoying one more weekend with them.  It was really hard to say goodbye so instead we just decided it will have to happen again sometime in the future!

Eric still had to work a few days this week.  Wednesday is his last day so I have still been doing some packing and organizing with my days off.  It seems like there is so much clutter and stuff still in our house now that most drawers and cupboards are empty, but I have to remember it's all going to be given away or thrown away in the next couple of days.  We feel bad throwing away things that are still usable but have figured out a way to make sure nothing goes to waste.  If we put something out in the trash area outside our building but leave it visible, almost always it will be gone the next time we look.  We always see people looking at and taking things out of trash piles outside of buildings so that is a good way to not feel like we are throwing away usable things!  We decided to book a hotel in Incheon for Friday night so that we are closer to the airport and not scrambling around very early Saturday morning trying to get last minute things done and still get to the airport on time.  So only three nights left in our little apartment...

 Dr. Fish was really fun!!

Last dalkgalbi dinner with friends... until next time!!
