Woohoo!
I just got sent home from school! There is a typhoon heading in today, so classes were all cancelled. Teachers and staff still had to go in, but then I was told I could go since I don't really have admin tasks. As I am developing a cold I am pretty excited to spend the day at home! Plus I love storms and feeling snug as a bug in a rug while they rage on outside. I even bought some veggies, including gorgeous king oyster mushrooms that are cheap here, to cook a little.
This weekend was a lot of fun: Adri came to visit me in my town this time. While our hiking plans were cut short due to pre-typhoon rain, we did manage to not eat hagfish. I also showed her my new favourite pub which looks like a gnome hut down the street.
Next weekend we have tickets to the Hallyu Dream Festival and I am SO EXCITED. It is just by chance that this festival is happening right here in Gyeongju, and luckily I was told to sign up for a free ticket raffle for foreigners. Guess who won two tickets? So I have two tickets to a KPop Cover band competition on Saturday, which will be awesome. They have been competing for months and this will be the finale. Then a friend of mine won tickets to the concert on Sunday, which involves huge K-Pop celebrities and she will be taking me. My students will be SO jealouS! Hopefully both my cold and this weather will all be gone by then.
Anyways, I look forward to my snuggly day at home. Here are some pictures:

| Amazing mandu, or dumpling, that comes from down the street. The woman who sells these recognizes me now and knows my order : 1 kimchi mandu. Oh baby it's good. |

| The coffee shop across the street makes such gorgeous lattes. I had a crazy coloured blueberry one that tasted like a muffin,probably should have taken a photo. Here is a regular ol coffee flavoured latte and a happy spoon. |
