I just got back from our company ski trip to Highone Resort in Gangwon-do. The last time I skiied was at Whistler, all the way back in 2002, so I was a bit nervous. Having to ditch work for two full days in the middle of the busiest time period wasn't helping me get more excited about skiing either. Once I got to the resort though, I started to get more excited, and by the time we were on the lift with skiis, I was really enjoying the familiar ride through snowy hills. For the rest of the two days, I had a great time skiing, drinking coffee on the mountain top, and partying with other Googlers at night. Gangwon-do has been suffering a severe drought, which meant bare hills and not much water to shower with, but it snowed a lot overnight and made the second day of skiing super fun (and less guilty about showering). I'd love to try out Tahoe at some point :)

Rrrrrrrrr
Learning Spanish through the Rosetta program and can't get the RR sound! I've tried all the various tips I could find on Google but nothing has worked its magic yet. Does anyone have a tip?

New activities taking up my time
Salsa (On 2), pilates, learning new languages with Rosetta Stone, reading in the bookstore about buddhism and self-reflection, organizing photos, and trying out more challenging recipes.

Taxes
I went out to a club at the Seoul Hyatt on Saturday, and their drinks were ridiculously expensive. 25,000 KRW for a mixed drink. Even at the currnet exchange rate, that's almost 20 dollars. Anyway, I got a bottle of water for 5,000 won (ugh), and on the recipet, there were three different types of taxes -- Service Charge, SP-TAX, and VAT. Oh hotels.
