safe and sound! we returned to madison last night to the sound of deafening thunder, tornado sirens, and huge streaks of lightening throughout the sky. ahh, wisconsin in the summer!

we had such an amazing time in new york meeting up with our yonsei friends! i loved the fact that we could just pick up from where we left off like nothing had really changed. i was especially happy that i got to hang out with my brother during his birthday weekend. it was so great that he got to meet all of my friends from korea and they had a chance to meet him (even though the similarities i noticed between him and ben k kind of wierded me out).

anyway, there's not much more i can say about the trip other than it was much more than i hoped for and better than i could have ever imagined!









great friends. great food. huge thanks to naerim and brian for taking care of us and showing us around!

oh yeah, one last thing, we went to nobu next door for jason's birthday dinner where we ran into the bush twins. one of their secret service shoved jason. happy birthday!

more pictures on my flickr.

tomorrow i leave for new york to reunite with old friends and hang out with my brother during his birthday weekend.

i'm so ready to get out of the midwest for a while, even if it is only for a week.
