Airport goodbyes

Another weekend on friend-filled fun. I think we're all getting a bit partied out; hopefully the holidays will bring a lot of excuses to sleep! Anyway so for Jaideep's final weekend in Seoul it was back down to Wara Wara in Sanbon on Friday night with their delicious fruit soju cocktails; salsa class on Saturday followed by shots and raspberry mojitos at Bonji and dancing at Caliente; and for the first time in a long time we all went our separate ways at 4am, to reconvene in Hyehwa at midday on Sunday. This was just in time for coffee and lunch and to make our way to the airport to send Jaideep on his way.

I'm not a big fan of airport farewells; they're sad and prolongued and well, sad. Luckily Jaideep attempting to take five large suitcases on the plane to get charged $2000 excess baggage rather detracted from the sadness as we spent an hour packing it all up to ship (for a meagre $500 :-o), and after a final dance with all the girls there was little time for tears. Of course he will be missed, but we're living in a small world. I have no doubt that the adopted salsa family is yet to disperse.

And just as a relevant aside, Andrew dreamt that on questioning when we'd all next see one another, I distributed fingers of a severed hand and assured everyone that once the fingers revived themselves we'd know to get back together. Someone's subconscious is running overtime I fear...
