Priceless

I just had a really great weekend in Seoul. Cirque du Soleil has been here in Korea for about 3 months now and I finally got to see the show.It's called Alegria. It was pretty good. I've seen other shows by Cirque, this one isn't my favorite but it was a good time. It may have had something to do with the venue....it was a tent so there were huge poles with lights attached placed throughout the tent. Our seats were positioned with a good amount of pole sight so we were moving all over the place trying to get a good view. The crew members were so strict on seating, even though the venue was far from sold out. The show itself was fine.

I was so excited because I saw snow fall for the first time in 2 or 3 years....It snowed in Tucson a couple years back. I took some pictures and it began to look a lot like Christmas. Nice big snow flakes too. We shopped, haggled and bargained, slept 7 to a hotel room....Best way to save money.

The funniest thing that happened is that we were rushing to the show after getting a hotel room and missed the train. Not all of us missed it however, one of the girls jumped on and tried to hold the door open for the rest of us. It didn't work, so she just ended up on the train alone. I was one of the ones that was way behind so I didn't get to see this personally but they say the look on her face as the train took off was priceless. I wish I was there. It sucked though because she had no phone and she was the one who knew where we were going so that was bit of a mess. And I think her boyfriend was kinda worried that she was separated from us in this HUGE city. Seoul is really big. Hmmm....but yeah he obviously didn't hop on the train with her lol. We had to laugh at him about that.
