Day 405: Not Eggsactly Easter

Another Thursday night, another get-together with friends. After work tonight I went out for Thai with Addie, Katie and Jessica at our much-beloved Aroi Aroi. How lucky are we to have the best Thai food in Korea right here in Ilsan? (Answer: Very Lucky!)

After dinner we headed back to my place for a little pre-Easter game night. Michael and Young-Seok drove in from the city and arrived with a special treat - Easter baskets for us all! Michael had received an Easter-themed care package from his cousin in America and had more than enough treats to share with us all. Jelly beans, Reese peanut butter cups, chocolate eggs, even a marshmallow Peep. Major yum! Thank you Michael! (And thank you Michael's cousin!)

Included in Michael's care package was also an egg-colouring kit! He brought it out with him and our plans were to brew up a batch of colourful eggs, just like back in the day when the best part of Easter (well, at least for me) was colouring the eggs. Well that didn't exactly work out. Don't forget, we are in fact in Korea, and that little detail can often throw a monkey wrench into your plans....

...all the eggs in Korea are brown! And you can't colour brown eggs! Well, you could try I guess, but they wouldn't take to the dye very well, and then that would just be really disappointing. All of us sat and thought about it and realized that not once have we ever seen white eggs in Korea. They're all about the brown here, and so that's how Korea trumped our egg-colouring ambitions.

Ahh well...we still had Scattergories and Cranium and Scotty's magical iPod as the DJ to keep us occupied for the rest of the night. We'll have to save our egg-colouring dreams for another time I guess.
