Here we are again, at the end of a busy day, one day closer to home and yet each day bringing a new adventure which reveals another dimension of life in Korea. Today was Buddhas birthday. We spent time at a temple where families pay homage to the great Buddha through ceremony and offering. But what birthday celebrating larks tonight! It is also the great Amandas birthday, and we have just returned from a session in a private Karaoke bar, korean style! Never seen  anything like it in the uk! After a fab birthday meal with cake, we were escorted to a sombre little place in the city where for a brief scary kimchi moment I thought I was about to be sold for a few bottles of soju. However, within moments the room was soon to be transformed into a rocking and rolling party zone with Hansung getting  the musical groove on with Amanda wailing something of a quaint love duet, and me croaking out  Careless Whispers, and Sugar Sugar. I'm sure there is a gap in the uk market for a similar venues.

Tomorrow I  am off to meet some nursing students, and I think I had better face that dreaded packing some time soon! Must sleep now. Paula
