All dressed up with the 18th MEDCOM ball to attend, which we crashed due to the tickets were sold out. The lesson might be that procrastination DOES have its rewards as we ended enjoying a $100 dinner gratis. 700 guests were all dressed up in black tie at the Lotte Hotel in downtown Seoul and everyone looked quite nice. There was some pomp and ceremony of course and now some of it has more meaning after going to war for a year. It's nice to enjoy the holidays with Colleen again.
