save the planet

I know you are just waiting on the edge of your seats for a weekend update… but sadly you will be let down today. Friday night was fun, although typical with its ‘galbi-MillerTime-noraebang-4am galbi’ pattern, but I spent the rest of the weekend in bed with a killer cold. Boringgg. It’s still looming, but thanks to massive amounts of sleep and a bag of oranges from the school, I think I’ve almost kicked it.

Aside from being sick, 2 really awesome things have occured this week.

#1: I bought a bike!

We found a little used shop in Uijeongbu, and John, Beenish, and I each got our bikes for less than 50 bucks! I also got a basket on the front of mine, although the picture doesn’t show it. Now we can cruise around the neighborhood in style, and I can get to the gym much faster than walking. After we bought them, we rode from Jihaeng to Donducheonjungang to Bosan for some Subway (like the restaurant. YUM), and then back and to our respective houses. What used to take forever and cost money and be a big hassle, is now made fast, fun, and easy. Plus it’s like the cutest bike in the world.

#2: I finally took out the recycling!

I know this seems like a ridiculous reason to be excited, but seriously it was getting out of control. Recycling is made so easy here, and is basically REQUIRED, so I really appreciate the convenience. (In Utah I had to DRIVE and search for places to drop off recycling. That is so stupid!!!!) However, I still allowed several months worth of plastic and cardboard to accumulate, but finally decided enough was enough and loaded it all up. think my apartment just doubled in size.
