White December~

It is freezing in Korea and I am so thankful for my Uggs! I have mentioned it before but my Uggs are a necessity to survival rather than a fashion statement. It is snowing in Korea and I cannot believe it will be a white Christmas this year! 

I have been hibernating in the library all week because it's that great time of the year again! Finals week. I have 4 presentations, 3 group papers, 2 finals and a partridge in a pear tree.... Aside from that, the only social interactions I have been experiencing is with my group mates. We literally eat lunch and dinner together. I can't stress the fact that there is so little time to get all this work done! Why did our group procrastinate so much?! As I sit here in my group meeting (I know I should totally be participating, but we have been together for 6 hours and counting..) my mind wonders off to my previous week where I took a little vacation to Tokyo and Bali~ 

Lost in Translation

Tokyo is an amazing, compact city. The people in Tokyo are unapologetic for their fashion choices, friendly, petite and well-mannered. I had a great time in Tokyo except that for a developed country as Japan, I had imagined the city to be more English friendly. The restaurants were all in Japanese and while the local people in Tokyo were always willing to help, very few spoke English. The movie Lost in Translation is a very realistic portrayal of Tokyo. While in Tokyo, we visited the temples, palaces, shopping, eating and a traditional hot springs. Tokyo is one of those cities that's in constant change. I would love to return to the city in a few years~

Bali~

This was by far the best place I had visited this year. I met Rebekah in Bali and we played 2 rounds of golf, took surfing lessons, temples, and threw a Thanksgiving dinner. There were 6 other UCLA MBA students vacationing in Bali at the same time, so we invited them over to our villa at the St. Regis. It was  definitely a memorable Thanksgiving in Bali!

Okay, so looking back at my last couple weeks, maybe I am behind on all this school work because I have been away. Let's just say that I would not take back any of it....
