This has surely been the week of parties (see photo sets for the Mexican Fiesta and Cheryl’s Birthday), and tonight was no exception.

Happy Canada Day, eh!  It took moving to Asia for me to learn that America’s northern neighbors celebrate their big patriotic holiday on July 1.  Who knew?  …I think they’re just copying.  Tonight, one of our Canadian friends, Andrew, hosted the Canada Day party, eh.  There was barbecue, watermelon, fireworks, and some drink that involved maple syrup.  My parents mailed us some American flag cups, plates, and napkins for July 4, but since we’ll celebrate in Seoul on the fourth, we decided to show our support of Canada Day by bringing our patriotic goods to the party.  American/Canadian feuding ensued.

Then it was off to another apartment where our Romanian friend Irina was celebrating her birthday in Romanian style.  There was Romanian gypsy music and Romanian dancing.  It was yet another unique meeting of cultures at English Village.  Pretty fun.

Happy Canada Day.  Happy Birthday, Irina.  And almost, happy 4th!

Joking aside, Adam and I have felt very nostalgic for home recently.  There’s something about summer and the 4th of July that makes us really crave a nice evening in the back yard with family and a good burger.  We really miss you guys…
