Canada Day in Korea, Ehh!

Last week the foreigners were out and about celebrating their homelands. First came the Canadians, then the Americans. A local (Canadian owned) restaurant here in Daegu offered up some wonderful meals and deals to celebrate Canada Day. On the menu: poutine and ceaser specials.

You just don't realise how much you miss the comforts of good ol' canadian staples until their placed right there in front of your face. I may not have indulged in the poutine (although I really really wanted to) but I did have a few ceasers. Whoever invented clamato juice deserves a good slap on the back. Even American Amy says a ceaser beats a bloody mary any day! Canada 1- America 0.

We rocked out to the hip, and watched the Canada Hockey Game. There was even a little time for a quick game of darts.  Note the slew of red t-shirts in the background. One girl, came out with the Canadian flag shifted as a skirt. Now that's patriotism!

That counts for something!!

We celebrated our friends below beneath us on the weekend. Although there were no big parties to speak of, our friend Charles came up with a brilliant idea: bringing the fireworks to Busan!!


All in all, it was great celebration! It will be good to be back home next year, for the real deal, though!
