Seattle, Paradise. Hehe!
1. Won FINALLY let me tag along to the gym, his house of worship. I went for the first time.. ever. Now he is going to get me a membership. I proved to be not as weak and annoying as Won thought I would be. I ended up running on the treadmill for almost an hour straight. Question: Why on the treadmill I can run for so long but on the streets I can barely speed walk half a block? Another question: How does one avoid getting dizzy after getting off the treadmill?
2. Won and I have this AWESOME new business plan. I'm SOOOOOO excited for when it comes to fruitition. We're gonna be ballers and life of every party. Better become friends with us now before our plan takes off! hehe3. Wons parents are moving us into the Master Bedroom! And everyone else in the house are going to shuffle rooms. So thoughtful of them and so exciting for me! I guess moving in with the in laws wont be so bad after all!4. Wons mom bought me a hanbok for our wedding. Its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome cuz its totally cute and modern and couture. It still holds the essence of a hanbok but isn't so traditional and boring. Good thing we found one in my size already made at the store and I don't have to have it custom made. Not to mention the owners couldn't get rid of it cuz it was too small to sell (yet I fit it) so they were happy to get it off their hands so they gave it to us for super cheap. Let's just say we spent 1/5 of what I was expecting to spend.5. I spent quite a bit of time with Won at the university while he was going to class. I got to explore the place a bit and do some emails in the common areas.*sigh* Maybe this will be my future school? One thing I will miss about California is everyone is Asian so everyone is only slightly taller than me. Here in Washington, everyone is mostly white and they TOWER over me. I hate that. So sad
6. Surprisingly, I am getting along with Wons friends much better than I thought I would. I am starting to find their jokes funny and not just pervy or offensive. Lol. Also, the groomsmen are down to do and wear anything for the wedding that I want them to. That was my biggest worry! Won was scared I would try to boss and bully them around but luckily they like my ideas too! Yay! Win! Win!Abrupt ending of another amazing Seattle trip summary.

It's all Asians at UW!!! At least...if you hang out outside of Odegaard (the library). LOL!
You can't run as far because regular pavement and sidewalks are not as even as running on the treadmill. It takes much more effort to keep balance and adjust to curbs, inclines, and anything else in the way of your run.
wow you run 1 hr on the treadmill!? I'm like. 5 min and I die LMAOOOO
Wait I didn't know you moved already! When are you officially moving?
your mother in law seems very nice which is a super ++++
1. I have never figured that out! I get dizzy too! Which is why me and the treadmill don't get along. Well, me and running don't get a long...
and yayyyyy it looks like you will be transitioning well =]
So happy for you! A great relationship with the future in-laws and his friends make things go a lot more smoothly.
Treadmill is a stationary position so you're essentially just running in place at the speed you choose when you choose it with the incline you choose when you want it. It's better for your legs and feet as well since the treadmill is a bit bouncy as opposed to the concrete of the outside world. To not get dizzy afterward, breathe a little better, drink more water while running, or don't run so long just yet until your body gets used to it.
congrats on your move, i'm sad i didn't get to see you again before you left! best of luck van, it sounds like things are just looking up!
moving in with the laws? that sounds pretty exciting
