Samsung Mall Coex Aquarium

Just had a wonderful time at the aquarium in the Samsung mall just off the Samsung stop at the subway.  This is a very interesting and action packed place.  From tons of shopping to many kinds of restaurants to choose from, the Samsung mall is most definitely a place to visit in Korea. 
The aquarium is a wonderful place with tons of interesting aquariums to check out.  It will take you a good 2 hours to see and enjoy everything that it has to offer.  The fish aren't only the focal point of the aquarium but their are other animals from spider monkeys to many different kinds of reptiles and even a  tarantula!!!  The other interesting thing to see is the many creative aquariums too.  Their are aquariums in refrigerators, washing machines, sinks and even computer monitors! 
I was so thrilled that my wife suggested to go here for our wedding anniversary.  ENJOY;)

Melly Klismas Korean style Hagwon Christmas

Had a wonderful Merry Christmas at work.  I taught the kids how to make Christmas cards and played games with them.  It was a good time.  The Christmas spirit however is much less in Korea.  As I did my nightly call on Christmas eve (yea I had to work on Christmas Eve.  Kinda the down side of working at a hagwon) I asked each student what they were gonna do for Christmas and mostly all of them said nothing or just staying home.  Its just so strange to me that no children were excited about Christmas.  When some students said that they will get presents they said that their parents were getting them presents and not Santa.  Also mostly all the kids only wanted clothes for Christmas.  It was just such a bazaar experience for me.   Well we had a good time.  Enjoy the pics;)
