Ex Post Facto

I went to a fancy pants banquet tonight at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul, held by my employer. There was some good entertainment, good wine, and lots of good food--with more forks and fewer chopsticks than I've seen in awhile. There was lots of good company, too, like the cute Korean English teacher sitting beside me (unfortunately, she's from Daegu, which is about four hours away from Seoul). I got some compliments on my Korean pronunciation, no doubt because I didn't use much Korean beyond "thank you." Also, purely by accident, I ran into another Canadian expat from Saskatoon!
