This semester was definitely the busiest and most fun semester ever. Seoul during the holiday season is an awesome experience and everywhere you go everything is decorated. Offices, malls, department stores, hospitals, coffee shops and many other places. Although holidays like Christmas are not celebrated in the same way as in the U.S. it doesn't mean that there is no Christmas spirit. I've never loved the holiday season more! Christmas music everywhere and beautiful sights to see. In Korea Christmas is more of a couple holiday so usually people spend it with their significant other or their friends. It's very different from what my sister and I are used to. We spent the holiday season with our friends. We went to Lotte World and ice skated which also happened to be the first time we had ever been ice skating all of us. Lotte World also had a Christmas parade which we happened to catch ! Afterwards we went out to eat some Kimchi Jjigae and we also tried the most delicious kimchi ever. I'll leave you guys with a few pictures I took of everything Christmas and festive things!!

| Lotte World at night looks beautiful. |
 |
| Ice skating with my awesome friends! We were all beginners and terrified but after a while we got the hang of it and luckily none of us fell !! Kai was the only one who had experience ice skating. |
 |
| While the iced was being cleaned on the floor above the ice rink was the Christmas parade. |
 |
| Not very good pictures but inside the subway station was a cupcake shop with really cute and delicious cupcakes! |
 |
| On our way out of Lotte World outside the trees and bushes were covered in Christmas lights ! |
 |
| We ended our day with the best Kimchi Jjigae we've had in a long time! Our friends introduced us to this really great restaurant near Lotte World located in Seongnam. It's really popular for its Jjigae and its kimchi which they sell it was actually 3 year old kimchi and it's the best kimchi we've tried. I just can't recall the name but I'll post it soon. |
