Seoul Weekend and Cat Adoptions

To celebrate Cassandra's birthday, a bunch of us (me, Cassie, Haydar, Michelle, James and Tony, representing Canada, USA, Iraq, South Africa and England, respectively) headed to Seoul this weekend. For me, it was a quick trip - up on Saturday morning and back on Sunday morning! We took the train up from Suncheon - Michelle and I liked the young Korean soldiers and sailors that we found there. It was great to wander around Itaewon, buying food, books and clothes that you can't seem to find elsewhere in Korea.

The high point for me was the Rocky Mountain pub. It's a Canadian pub, decorated with hockey jerseys, playing Tragically Hip and serving Moosehead beer!

When I got back from Seoul, I picked up Jakob from the vet's (he's fixed now! Yay! Of course, it hasn't slowed him down one bit!) and noticed that there were three gorgeous Persian cats there. Well, they were homeless kitties in search of good homes. Now, you all know about me and cats.... suffice to say that with Karen's help, these kitties are finding good homes amongst different foreigners! Yup - it's the Korean branch of the SPCA. Heather would be proud!
