My Sweet Bike

Today I bought a bicycle. It's yellow, red and has purple fenders. If they could've made it hypercolour, they would have because its right from the early '90s. I got it for $50. It has a rack on the back. I need to buy a basket for the front and a bell. I'm very excited.



Denise Teacher also bought one. Hers is silver. It took 15 to 20 minutes to walk from home to school and now we can ride in 5 minutes. There is a huge cycling circuit along the river here and its very close to our house so we are going for a ride tomorrow morning. Our area is really bike friendly. Along the sides of the road are guard rails so pedestrians and cyclist don't get hit by a car. And there is one path for bikes and one path for pedestrians. Riding home tonight after work though were some guys on motorcycles riding the opposite way on our bike path. It was a bit sketchy.

Tomorrow is Friday and its the last days of work for a week. Next Tuesday is Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok. Its the biggest holiday besides New Years. The shcool is closed Monday to Thursday. So we all have 4 days off. Almost everyone is Seoul leaves the city to go to the country and visit family. Most stores close down also. It would be nice to go somewhere, however I did just arrive here so I am going to check out the rest of the city. And of course ride my bike. Leesa, my friend from UNBC, arrived yesterday. She is working on the other side of the city at another school. She's going to stay at my place after the Waygook Floor Crawl and then I'll help her move into her place on Saturday. She's also going to play tourist with me next week.
