B-ball

   Last Friday a big group of us went to watch the pro basketball team in our city. It turns out that they don't usually get a group of 18 foreigners to fill the seats, so they treated us to a number of goodies. Some of us got free water bottles; one of us got a signed ball, and we all got a slice of pizza from Domino's. We cheered our team on to an easy victory. After the game, we headed to the Pub to wish our friend Hank a safe trip back to Canada. B and I left early since we had to get up for our 1st class of the new term on Saturday.

  We started our Business Ethics course at 10 on Saturday; our professor is a fellow Minnesotan (and our travel agent's husband). The class has gotten off to a good start and promises to be interesting. We take this one Mondays and Saturdays. Our 2nd class will be Marketing Mgmt., but that one won't start until Dec. 9th. When it does start, we will take it 3-4 times a week for 4 weeks. It will be the most intense class we've ever done. 

 After class on Saturday we went to Costco, where we loaded up on some fun foreign foods. Back in Wonju, we went to our friend Sean's 25th b-day party. We ended up staying out until the wee hours of the night, so on Sunday we took it easy.

  This week is flying by, and on Friday we'll attend a wine and cheese party at our friend Emma's house. Then, after class on Saturday, we'll head back to Wonju to partake in a Thanksgiving dinner with some fellow ex-pat's.  We really wish we could celebrate back home with our families. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!

One of the 2 foreigners on the team: Reggie Okosa. His guard wanted him to keep walking but he stopped to sign a few more autographs for the kids instead.
