Last weekend I went to a meditation retreat with my Korean friend Sewon. We met a little over a year ago through Stephany and have been friends since. Sewon speaks English very well and is always full of energy. She works as a headhunter in the finance industry and it's always interesting to hear about her recent placements and candidate interviews. A few weeks ago riding the subway home late at night from a baseball game, we talked about spending a weekend together before I left. Sewon is a regular meditator and suggested going to a meditation retreat that she has been to several times. It sounded like an interesting endeavor to me so I quickly agreed.
We later decided on a date to go and although I have an accounting exam coming up this week, I left my books in Seoul and headed out to Gyeonggi-do to get a little Zen.

The whole program was conducted in Korean. It was fairly easy to follow most things until more abstract topics were brought up, at which point Sewon translated for me.
Thanks Sewon for showing me a piece of your life in Korea!
