Day 469: Party At The UN

Today was Friday, and man after the week I've had, I couldn't be more ready and dying for the weekend. Michael was hosting a party at his place tonight and because we're also going away tomorrow for the weekend again, I thought it'd be best to stay at his place.

The party ended up being really cool and a lot of fun. He had invited a big group of friends from his school to come to his place and he had great turn-out. Michael goes to Yonsei University which is one of the big famous schools here in Korea, and consequently has students from all over the world. Reflecting this diversity was the crowd at Mike's. There were people from nations all across the globe, all mingling together. Strangely enough English was not the 'middle' language, but rather Korean. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise since all those students are at Yonsei to study Korean!

And what an international roster! We actually counted 12 different nationalities at one point - American, Canadian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, Taiwanese, Danish...there's more but I forget where from, but honestly it was quite the global mix. It was like having a party at the UN or something! I had some really cool conversations with people, especially this girl Anne who was from Denmark. We had an interesting chat about Danish and Canadian politics and it was pretty neat.

Life abroad is pretty awesome, I love all of this international exposure!
