Christmas in Seoul, Take 2.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! All I want for Christmas is Gaspard Uliel. Is that really too much to ask? A hunky man angel who will come down from the sky and treat me like a princess... yeah, ok, I know. Not going to happen, so instead, I settled for the next best thing, dinner and celebration with good friends. Here is a summative chronicle of my Christmas 2010. For some odd reason I can never load the pictures in order, so it may at this time be sligtly sloppy. Helen my dear came over the night before for Christmas eve dinner and a chat. She was off to Thailand the next day on a whilr wind adventure, so we decided to take it easy and stay in. Christmas was on a Saturday this year and thanks to my brilliant friends Dara and Jess, a bunch of us had reservations for Christmas dinner at the 'Wolfhound Irish Pub' in Itaewon.
So we shall skip right to the near end of the night. We got to the Wolfhound near 2pm and Christmas dinner was served at 3pm. It was a packed venue and we squeezed ourselves into the pub to enjoy turkey, mashed potatos and gravy with cranberry sauce. It was sooooooo worth it! There was also beer. A looooootttttt of beer. lol!
Jess and I getting our pose on in the bar. Red was a popular wardrobe choice it being very merry and festive and all.
Jess, Alec, myself and this lovely Phillipina (whose name I can't recall, oops!) As you can see, people were making merry behind us. Sometimes the people watching in bars like the Wolfhoud makes the trip woth while in it of itself. By 8pm there was chair dancing. By 9pm a girl actually flashed the entire bar.... by 10pm there were couple making out in public... yup, it was a verry merry evening.
Later on we moved the party on to Woodstock bar. Alec plays the guitar base in a really good rock band. (not pictured here, these guys do Zeppelin covers). We proceeded to drink more beer, not get into fights and listen to some pretty good live rock music.
Me, Alex, Phillipina, Jess, Dara, Gavin and Adira. and our food :) yum.

Me, Keelan and Alec. Keelan was a friend of Jess and Dara's who was visiting from Ireland for a couple of weeks. It was funny but somehow I ended up having Christmas with a table full of Irish friends... I call that a good time :)
Jess being the sweet heart that she is.
Dara and Jess might just be the most selfless, funloving couple I've met in a while.
Gavin and Adira follow that status up closely though. Unfortunately, they are soon leaving Seoul to go and get married in the US. Ah, c'est la vie! Well that is it. That was my Christmas day and I am thankful to have spent it with some great people and eating some good food :) Now it's time to get ready and look forward to the New Year! Can't wait!!!
