December in Japan and Korea

December this year included a Christmas party, the flu on Christmas Eve (one of many viruses I’ve had this season…), and a trip to visit my sister in Korea!

Friends at a fancy 7-course meal put on for about 600 staff at my company’s Christmas party.
Christmas market in Tennoji Park. Mostly German food and beer… Also a skating rink they’re running for 3 months amidst 7-15 degree temperatures!
Following photos are in Korea.
Snackable crunchy crabs in Myeongdong
Christmas lights at the Starfield Coex Library
Dakgalbi… A new favourite food. Chicken, cheese, noodles, onions, cabbage and sauce.
Bingsu. Not much of this in Japan unfortunately
Korean BBQ
I bought too many funny socks.
Picking up an old hobby in Lego again… Spurred on by minimal sunshine in my apartment and being sick and bored around Christmas and New Years.
