Another Holiday with works

I saw this morning zinco leaves which was beginning to change its leave's color to a little bit orange(not to yellow yet) at last at Namsan sowol-gil(road) while drivining to work after another 5-days holiday. Oh, the fall would be coming soon, exclaimed joyfully.

Since we had spent nice days in a nice resort in the previous holidays(it's just in the last weekend ! see the previous two posts: (1) and ( 2)), on this time, I'd like to do something that had been delayed so long by the lack of the time. Could you guess what it was?

Yes, repapering. My son had been longing for decorating his room with fashionable and new-style wallpapers quite a long time and I promised we would do it in his summer vacation. 5-days-holiday was quite a long one and I could make time for doing it. Moreover, we didn't have enough money to plan another trip. Yes, so repapering.

From previous surveys at shops in town, we'd learned it would be really expensive if inviting a couple of experts and repapering whole the house. No need to spend so much! So, made mind to minimize the work only to the boy's room, and two walls of the kitchen, and decided to do it by ourselves.

Guessed it would be hard and it's really so. For the repapering itself, only 12 hours by clumsy and unskilled guys were enough, but we had to spend in real 4 days for shopping, preparing, repapering, and cleaning- the whole things. There's some mistakes like pattern mismatch, but no problems. Rather, very satisfied with the works.

(Bangsan Market, Prints and Papers market)

One episode. We went to Bangsan market to choose wall papers, where we could buy every papers and interior stuffs in the world. After shopping with time-cosuming negotiations, we had naengmyun(Korean Cold Noodel) for dinner at the near-by famous restaurant(like MCCHAE and Clockwiz a couple of weeks ago), but we found later the little girl had some terrible alergy for it and has suffered still, in almost a week. Doctor said the buckwheat might be the reason and it would last more than a week.

Another episode. Fitting and pasting papers(silky papers) were not easy job and at least two adults should co-work for them. My mom and nephew came to us for taking care of the little girl during the work in the evening and thanks to them we could do it whole night. We went to Everland with them in the next morning and enjoyed the park's Summer Splash party. Really cool and funny. We all were totally wet.

Hmm. The first one was Aug 5-9(Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed) and the second one was Aug 12-16(Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed)
As you know 8.15 was national holiday, I was off only 5 working days for the above two vacation. Actually I could make them into one-12days holiday!!-but had some meetings/works to do..

Take a rest! Hard works are good but a helathy rest is better!!

Thank you for advise.
Frankly speaking, hard working was not the real reason why I couldn't go to the vacation in this summer. I had to make others work hard. *-*. This is closer to the reality. T.T
