Farewell, Oh Mango

This weekend was Amanda's farewell party. I met her the first few weeks Nav and I came to Korea. She even invited us to her birthday party, even though she hardly knew us! She's a great person with tons of experience and knowledge of living in Busan. I will miss her wittiness and her jokes. Her farewell party was on Saturday. We had a Korean dinner. Unfortunately, it was all beef and pork but I had cold noodles which was something new! Another person going back home and all three have been Canadian! First Chris, then Victoria and now Amanda! In a month or so, it'll be Veanna's turn. She's also a Canadian and a fellow Torontoian too. I was able to finally take a picture together with Amanda! On Sunday it was my Mango Galore event! This is the second time I have hosted an event! First event was all about chickens and this event was all about mangoes! Mangoes can be a challenging fruit to add to any dish but it was a lot of fun. Everyone did a fabulous job of being creative! We had cupcakes, spring rolls, curries, tortilla wraps, chicken wings and more with mangoes in it! The people who showed up are Andrew, Erin, Dharma, Steven, Jeongeun, Candice Myburgh and the other Candice as well! Yana and Veanna couldn't make it because they didn't prepare a dish and they felt really bad that they couldn't budget properly (they will be going back to Australia and Canada respectively soon). Ann and John couldn't make it because John is sick. Brian couldn't make it because he was feeling a bit sick and had nothing prepared (both reasons combined). It was a lot of fun either way, and it was shorter than the previous event because it's on a Sunday rather than on a Saturday. Anyways enjoy the picture! The next possible event hosted by me will be in March most likely. I need some creative themes in the next few months.
