It's Christmas time in the city...




Rebecca flew off to Canada on Friday, Dec. 19th, and we had a nice family Christmas celebration on Thursday night (one that involved a yummy Indian dinner at Indy and - of course! - treats at Starbucks). On Monday evening the four of us went out to admire the beautiful festive lights throughout downtown Daejeon. At one busy pedestrian intersection there was even a big Christmas tree-shaped sculpture constructed of soju bottles. Soju, for those of you who haven't tried it, is a fiery fermented rice beverage that sort of resembles vodka, and it is the national beverage of choice in bars and barbeque restaurants throughout Korea.
