Wendy's Adventures 

Monday night/Tues am early!!!

Wow...I just discovered something. I just saw Orion in the sky!!!!! I didnt think it would be here too! I thought it might be flipped over or something..but it's the same way! (Orion the constellation that is!)
How incredible the creator is! The planets seem a bit brighter here though... I'm looking for the big dipper next! Who knows. Man...how huge the universe is and how small we really are.

So today John, the other teacher came in. He seems to be a nice enough guy from Great Birtain with a great accent! Heh. He's from Liverpool I believe. A young chap.. sorry...had to say it. ('chap'). So we went out with some of his mates which was a good time. Went to a fabulous restaraunt downtown that was impressive! Designers...I've got pictures coming. Wowzers. A thought occurred to me here as well...the slate floors that come from China that I ordered before.....are from RIGHT HERE! And no waiting for major shipping here! Cool.

I've got a cold, and I've lost my voice tonight. I wonder how that's going to go tomorrow. Hmmm..

So I leave for Japan finally on Wed night I believe. Go for Thursday, and return on Friday. I stay at a hotel in Fukuoaka, Japan, and come back Friday am. Woohooo! Then I might go to Seoul on Friday from Busan hopefully. Not sure. I'd really like to go hook up with Candice, but that is money providing.
Shim (the school director) offered to give me an advance, so I think I'll be taking him up on it. But just to survive. The point of me being here is to SAVE some money!! I think I might be able to do that from the shopping point of view for clothes...cuz none of them really fit me. So that's a good thing..I think. Now electronics can be another issue!

I went to look at the LG store to see the prices. A laptop sells for starting at 800,000 won which is about $800 to $2000. A desktop is around the same. Ya that sounds ok to me. A digital camera that is 7.1 pixels and 256 MB card and a 2.5 LCD screen is about $500. Yep. MP3 player is around $100 for a good quality one. So If you want some electronic thing, and you don't mind a bit of Korean jibberish on the side on it...then let me know! I'll try to get it labeled in English before I send it out! Teehee!

K...I gotta get my zzzzz's. Gotta keep on top of my health! Gnite all...it's good to be from Canada ;) I do wish I brought more Canadiana souveniers or at least lots of stuff with Canadian flags on it. And I KNEW I should have brought maple syrup! They dont have it here..and it was the first thing that Shim mentioned about Canda! They all seem so impressed about it. Dammit.....oh welll. When I come back for a holiday or something:)

It's a good feeling to know that we all sleep under the same stars ;)

Saturday night

Okay I'm so retarded! The lighting is compact fluorescent!!! DUH! Yah, It's everywhere, and a very white light. So envision CFL's ALL downtown GwangJu in streets that are 20' wide, and there u have it. 3 stories high...in Korean proportions, which means everything is about 2' shorter. It feels like it anyway.

OKAY....I think I have some creature living in my room. This is nuts. Okay, living in another country...I have first seen wierd little tiny ants that i have never seen...and there are cockroaches here, i know cuz they caught one at work...it was tiny thank God. But I woke up one night and heard a strange noise...like rustling around...and then a little cockroachish kind of squeak, and then it was gone. I thought it was possibly part of a dream or something... But, now I just heard it again. I have no idea how big or small this thing is!!! Or how damaging it can be. Is it just a wierd bug? Or is it some creature? It seems to be happy under my bed so far. Okay, that's just wrong. Is is slimy? Or furry? Or crusty? OR WHAT?!!! Little beady eyes...or teeth...

Okay, this is getting crazy...but i want to know so I can just feel like I can go to sleep tonight!!! Ugh...if I knew it was a mouse I could relax! I dont' know how to resolve this issue!!! HELP!!! So here is me, standing on top of my bed, and right now sitting on my chair with my feet up in the air, and my eye on the bottom of my bed..never knowing what is going to happen. Swiffer broom thingie close at hand.

I wish I had someone to help me right now, or someone to call, but I don't really. Hmmm...what do I do. I feel like going for another walk and coming back and it will be gone...or I'll forget...or something.

And this TV has a mind of its own. All of a sudden it goes fuzzy, or once it turned on on its own. Right on. Just what I need. Yep, I said a prayer on this stuff. Bugs and electronics with a mind of their own. you know what would be funny? If it was just a vent or something ... Errrr. I've been spoiled in Vancouver with no real bug problems. This is going to be interesting...

One more event!

I forgot to say...yesterday was pepero day, or Pocky sticks as I've seen in Canada. They're cookie sticks dipped in chocolate or other flavors. Every student pretty much came up to me and gave me one. They gave whole boxes too! I ended up deciding to give them back to other students because LIKE i need a whole bag of candy and chocolate! It was like Valentines day here! I think I explained before, but the basis of this day is because it is November 11, and that is 11/11 which is in the shape of sticks- the number 1 that is. So it's pepero day!

One kindy class I taught yesterday was also eventful for another reason. A girl Mandy lost a tooth! She came in crying away with a big wad of toilet paper in place of her tooth! It was so cute and sad too! I forgot about losing your teeth and all that drama! What a wierd concept of losing your teeth! As soon as Mandy came in and showed me, all the other kids came around and showed me their teeth...all the loose ones and the ones that have come out allready. Man...I forgot all about that! It's also interesting to see how the kids reacted to it. They all seemed to completely be concerned and supported Mandy, and were a bit excited too. Wow. Kids are amazing.

Then later, a girl in the same class lost her tooth too! I only knew this because I went into the washroom and she was washing the blood from her mouth. She was smiling and all happy and showed me,"look! i lost mine too!" ha ha. Her name is Zoe, and she reminds me of my sister when she was that age.

Kay, shower time...

Saturday Morning

Grrr...I just wrote a whole page, and I went to download a picture to attach and i lost the whole thing. So I guess I'll have to try and re-create it.

I just got a wakeup call from my friend Michael! How cool was that? It's so wierd speaking to someone who knows English without even thinking about it! That's the first call from overseas in reverse!

I wrote about the police cars, how you know where they are or if they have an issue, because they broadcast it with loudspeakers! I asked the girl at work about it and she said it's because the cars arent allowed to park on the street there. Must be in certain places because cars and pickup trucks are EVERYWHERE on the street.

I've been very mindful of the police because of my non-legal-visa status right now. I forund out last night that I got my confirmation number, and I go to Japan on Thursday for the night and come back on Friday. I'll miss working actually, but it will be a good adventure. i'm wondering what the differences will be from Korea and Japan. I've heard lots of people like Japan, but they havent worked or went there because the cost of living is more expensive. My first choice, honestly would be Japan, but I chose Korea for the same reason. Also, they require you to have experience and good training perhaps as well. And Korea for me is something more different than I would have chosen in the beginning, so more reason to go anyway!

I saw a lady on the back of her pickup truck with a full kitchen there! It's amazing what Koreans fit into such a small space. She had a deep fryer, and a counter of sorts, and everythign she needed to cook and fry fish cakes or tempura, and sell it. Sitting right under her tent tarp. Street vendors set up ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE it seems, and some are mostly right out in the open, and some are under makeshift tarp tents, some with plastic windows in them.

Right outside Zero Mart on my street where I shop there is a full industrial looking kitchen! It is kept really clean considering it is right on the street, and they make and sell things like fresh tofu. Yum. I'm gonna have to try that. It's right sitting on a pan ready to be eaten.

Last night still amazes me. The trip downtown was so worth it! I went with Rachel, who wanted to show me around. We walked up and down the streets window shopping. I got myself a sweater in the department store, and Rachel bargained it down to 20,000 from 28,000...right there in a department store!

It's funny how the stores and department stores are just mini versions of those in Canada. (Wierd how I want to say America- in terms of America as a continent which includes Canada). The scale here is so much smaller and compact, but I really like it. Everythign seems to serve a purpose, even if some of the stores I have no idea how they maintain a living with what they sell. Like one store I saw with just a few clothes hanging on the walls, some shoes, and some guys sitting in the back on chatting away.

The stores are mini versions of Robson street downtown. The general size of the stores are about 10' wide by 15-20' long. Alot are smaller than that. some look to be 6' wide and 10' deep. But they manage to make it look spacious and well presented and maintain a lliving there. I think when I go back to interior design, I will have such a newer vision of space and proportion stored in my resources.

The trip to downtown was quite eventful. We took the bus which was about .80cents. Yes, the driver was crazy. A few times I wondered how we were going to make the corner. It almost fell over to me! you have to hold on and be quite careful when you get up to get on or off. I just about got thrown around at one point! When you get off, he pretty much just dumps you off on the street! It's kindof funny. All the while Korean advertisements on the speakers for the ride.

The trip back was fun too. Rachel got a taxi for me, and told him where to go. That was a relief. The next part was trusting him that I'd get home! Rachel wrote down the address, etc in Korean and English so I could say it if something happened. The taxi driver so so super cute! He said stuff in Korean when I got in...and Rachel was still loudly talking to him while he drove off. He said Ssong Chon Dong? and then he said OKAY! Hee hee! It sounds like a movie the way I'm describing it...but it's true! The ride was pleasant enough, it was good to see a bit better how to get home from downtown. The music was nice, it was some folk song. THe taxi driver was singing along, and it was quite cute. Then some funky disco song came on and he started bopping away to it! That was the best! So when we got to my place, he said OKAY! and I said OKAY! The trip was 6000 won, or around $6. That's fine by me. I think I'm going to try to learn the bus route though to save the dollars...but considering that was quite cheap. In Vancouver that trip would probably be $15.

I just heard someone on a loudspeaker. That seems to be the norm here. If the police come around they start talking on the loudspeaker, so the whole neighbourhood knows what's goign on. The vendors sometimes have them, or a recording on a loudspeaker. Stuff like that. Kindof interesting. The horns are ALWAYS going here too. I like one kind of horn that sounds European to me. Hard to describe but it kindof goes doodedoodedoodedoo. Like 2 tones alternating. How do you explain that anyway? It's like an octave difference. Then there's the regular horns.

Man, my hair is falling out a lot more than usual. I guess it's the change and shock of everything lately. If it starts clumping then I get worried.

So I wonder what I'm goign to do today. Probably go out and walk around, take lots of pictures, etc...
Candice and I (a friend of mine who came to Korea from Vancouver a month ago and lives in Suwon, part of Seoul) wanted to get together this weekend. At this point we dont think it's that feasible because of the train or bus that would take around 3 hours to get there, and the fact we can hardly get downtown by ourselves, let alone go to the other end of teh country!

I wonder how i'm going to learn basic stuff fast like asking directions. I guess the only way is just to DO it! K, time to get up and at em.

Friday

Alllrighty then. Today went fine. Glad it's Friday. I got my confirmation number today!!!! Woohooo! So I go to Japan on Thursday...yep...I just float across an inlet on a boat to JAPAN! HA! I love it. So I stay there a night...and then come back the next day. That will be interesting. yet another foreign country with another language, etc... sounds like fun to me. SO glad I have that number now anyway. I hope it all goes smoothly

Well, I just went downtown Guangju with a coworker for diner and a stroll. Man, it looks like mini Robson street stores, and I mean MINI. With Robson street being a whole neighbourhood!! It was night time...and the streets were brighter than daylight! IT's all that fabulous lighting I tell you! Wait till I post these pics!!

We went to eat in a perfect restaraunt if you ask me. There was a section with chair seating, and a section with floor seating. Of course, I asked for the floor seating. Woven 'bamboo' or straw mats on the floor that were about an inch or so think. The dark wood laminate tables that were so classy looking that who cares if they were laminate!! I've noticed a LOT of laminate here. It's also mixed with solid wood too..but mostly p=lam (plastic laminate). LOVE the colors they use.

We happened to bump into a friend of Rachels on the street who happened to be a white guy and his Korean girlfriend. I felt like HE was the foreiner! it felt like..hey this isnt right.!! Ha! And the interesting thing about it was...he spoke fluent Korean. HA! He was really nice. His name is Matthew and his girlfriend's name was something in Korean. She spoke quite good English too.

I find myself speaking to EVERYTING and EVERYONE like they know little Englilsh. Ya...and I think that I feel quite comfortable here because of living in Vancouver. Honestly, at times I really dont feel like it's much different. Its the same feel and atmostphere...and I'm used to hearing Chines and Korean and any other kind of languag earound me all the time anyway. Nooo big deal.

The stores are ful of purses and (oh man I gotta get me a Louis Vuitton) but the problem is that everyone has one! They're just 20 to 30 each. Depends on where u go. WOWzers!! Funny how much counterfeit' stuff is here. No complaints though....;)

Oh yes, I happened to walk by 2 stores in one day that had chunks of cow or wahtever hanging outside. How hoofs an dlegs and other parts I hve no idea bout and dont really honestly want to know1

Oh yes...it was pepero day today. Kids are amazing. They just come up to you and give all their stuff way without even considering it. Lesson to learn right there. I got a hug box of peperos. I gave most of them back to other students. It's so sweet.

Oh, and did I tell you that a girl came up to me out of the blue and gave me an orange? I felt like the 'real' teacher with the 'rreal apple'!!! Awwwww!

Okay..I'm falling asleep. Will write tomrrow...

This was Tuesdays I think

Man- you have NO idea how happy I am to find these posts in my email so I can copy and paste them for the record! Wooohooooo!!!!!!!!!! I gotta get up and jump around the room now!

* * ** * * * * * * * * * * *

Okay, today was pretty good. I didn't feel as nauseous as I did the day before. Busy enough not to think about that kind of stuff I guess. I can't believe how good it is feeling to be working. Every DAY!

Well the story today goes as follows: I started work at 1 pm.- but I went EARLY today and got there successfully! It really does take 10 to walk there. I woke up at about 7 30 am this morning. That's fine, and almost surprising. I dont know what clock my body is doing, but it seems to be adjusting just fine...to the light and dark anyway. Still feel a bit hazy at times, yawning after 4 pm, but whaddya do about that?!

My first class was honestly a disaster. Kindergarten in the 'morning', and elementary in the afternoons. It progressively gets to students who are more knowledgeable (is that spelled with that d or ...? oh man...am i really an English teacher?!). The kidsters just need sooooo much stimulation and CONSTANT movement and direction. I need to learn the Monster song at least!! The Monster song for those who are wondering what the HECK i'm talking about is a story that the kids have made into a song/play. It's great! And can u imagine me singing and doing the actions right along with them? It's fun! I forgot how simple and fun it is to be a kid! Just to sing a song over and oer again is the greatest! haha! I remember when I was in elementary and we did a play, I felt so proud and confident in myself! (the old oak tree swing was my favorite song).

The next class I asked another Korean teacher to come and help me control the kids. That one went WAY better. So until I figure out all the songs, etc...I'm hopefully going to have someone help me do this. Then I'll be running around the class and singing the songs like a mad woman! Ha ha.
oh man...I'm just watching Ben and Jerry in Korean ...welll subtitles anyway. The commercials are cool! Every interior seems to be white and shiny surfaces with hints of color here and there . The colors are fresh and bright. The wood here is gorgeous! I'm trying to figure out what it is. Laminate everywhere actually, but the colors are wonderfully warm and inviting. AND i LOVE radiant heating in the floors. Dad, you'd be addicted! Good for cleaning, and no allergies!! IT's so nice to walk on a warm floor in the morning!

Weather is sunny again. I have NO complaints. It feels like spring to me here, except the trees are orange and rusty, and the leaves are falling. The streets are cleaned everyday it seems. The street vendors are always sweeping up the sidewalks with their hand made brooms. I HAVE to get a picture or two of the old ladies squatting on the side streets with their bowls of PEELED garlic, (now that feels like a luxury!), and green onions, lettuce, cabbage, mandarin oranges, persimmons that I have yet to try, and then there's the bins of fish, and dried stuff. Eels swimming around, baby octopus, other wierd fishes that I dont know whre they got the idea that they would like to eat them!

Oh, I tried kimchi here for the first time today, and let me tell you..I could be addicted or eat it every meal like Koreans do. It didnt seem to be anytihg like the kimchi I tried in Canada. Similar though. There seems to be several different types of it or somehting. There's one vendor I walk by every night that has restaraunt bins full of it. about 6 different kinds.

There are vendors EVERYWHERE on the streets selling everything from clothes to food. I feel like I'm at the fair or something. I walked by a store tonight that had vats lined up on the wall of rice cookers I assume. And that's it. My word....you can really make a living off of rice here....obvious I think.

So I got my toilet fixed today...finally. The seat wasnt attached to the bowl. Kindof awkward to pee! Man I love the 'wet room' showers and stuff. I'm going to be addicted.

Mike, the guy that just left before me told me today that the girl on the back of the motorbike was a 'street girl' or a prostitute! Imagine that, a guy running around town with a prostitute plainly displayed ont he back of him motorbike loudly screaming music. I love that they run around with loud music! It's kindof freeing. I always feel so paranoid not to be too loud for other people...but hey...why not when you're driving a hot bike around town! It's almost like the pimpin-mobiles pumpin the music at home or something. Doing the summer cruise down Robson blasting the tunes that make you hotter. Ha!

I gotta run and get lessons together for tomorrow. I love how they all run up an dcrowd around you and try to get your attentionn! "wendy teacher" is my new name! Tee hee!

Tuesday or Wednesday afterthought addition

Here's the other post that I lost too! Woohoo!

I looked at the night sky tonight....thought of the special people across the ocean, yep, you know who you are!! Looking at the moon, which was a lovely crescent. I'm actively looking to see if I can see the same side or the other side of the moon! Also, I can see Mars, and it's REALLY red here! A lot redder than in Canada. Hmmm....coool!

Oh, and mom, and all you hairdressers out there....you'll never believe what they ACTUALLY use here to pern hair. The OLD ANCIENT kind!!!! What the???? Cutting edge cell phones, and technology, and they haven't figured out the exothermic permanent??????? WHAT???! I have a couple FABULOUUS pictures of the salons here. Oh man, I'm dying to get in there and talk to them. AND...the flat irons and hair dryers are soooo cheap (about 25 dollars) and flat irons too...ceramic ion ones!!! I've got to pick me up a LOT of them!

Okay, I must say that Korean skin is quite gorgeous. I never thought ...like alabaster on TV anyway. Skin whitening products in the beauty stores would do that. Hmmm! I dont have a problem there! Here I'm always trying to tan my skin! I wonder if they can get skin cancer from whitening too....

I'm really liking this bowing action or nodding to everyone here. I notice it's a sign of acknowlegment...(cant spell) or thankyou or respect or whatever. And do it twice. I think I'm going to tackle learing Korean by learning one word a day. Yep...that will ahve to be the plan. I'm getting annoyed with this computer and keyboard....I keep typing too fast and misspelling. Ugh....who cares....I'm tired...and have to run. Oh, I noticed that they guys here almost have better more styled, and more colored hair here than the girls! Heh. Oh, and Shim has a NICE suit. People have an appreciateion for dressing nicely. And then wear your slippers everywhere with them.

I think I like this slipper thing. Am I repeating myself? Ha!

Today Is Wednesday

I found my post from Wednesday so i'm posting it now! Woohooo!
Well, today ....lets say I got through it. I woke up wondering how I was going to control and entertain the kindys, and by the time it got to it....it went spectacularily. You should have seen me doing 'smiley face, surprised face, sad face, funny face (complete with tongue sticking out!)' with them! Ha haaa!

Elementary was another story though...I had a couple of classes run my class! Ahem. WE'll have to see about that next time. I think it's rules, and then rewards. That's gotta do it.

It's funny how I don't know how I'm gonna do a class, and then I just go in, and I have no choice and just DO it. Wowzers. Thank God for the CELTA course I took, believe it or not. It is helping me to teach them better.... One guy, Andrew ( you know, almost all of them have 'western' names- I hope no one 'gave' them out, because I think that native people shouldnt have to adapt their names as much as ossible. They have those names and that is their identity. oookayyy...just my opinion....so Andrew, he is about 16 or so, and he has been quite quiet. And today I got him talking and the rest of the class by using tone of voice. SAY those question marks like you mean them! Heh.

Oh, I went and got myself a pair of what I would like to think are Donna karan sunglasses tonight. All mine are broken, and i just can't bear to live without sunglasses...also because my eyes all water up when I dont have them. They were only 35$!!!! Even if they weren't real...who cares...it was certainly fun. And they came in a cool case....very very cool!

Ooooh tonight I got the best picture of an elderly lady on the street. Oh man, it should go to National Geographic I would think! (I wish) Woohooo! She was adorable when I motioned to take her picture. She made some gesture that she was a bit embarrassed, but she wasnt really. She wiped her forehead, and then grinned the cutest grin ever. Man...that was worth a thousand words.

I noticed that some people walking down the street have masks on. I asked YuGen what that was about and she said that most women wear them because it is to preserve their skin!!!! Imagine that! And all this time I was thinking that it was because of SARS or something! Ha! I do think it's becasue of pollution too though. I dont feel that there is really a lot of pollution here though. Maybe in the summer or somthing.

I can't begin to tell you how great it is to not be in the rain! I am truly on vacation from winter here!

Kay...I can't seem to concentrate right now....will write more later....

Later!!!

Woohoo! I think It works!

I've always liked the number 10. Just seems clean and neat and simple to the contrary...in that I mean the binary code!!! Heh. Okay, enough of the philosophizing...

I'm so sad that the last two blogs didnt work. They had some good information that I don't think that I can replicate. I think I went and deleted them accidentally because I can't read Korean yet. Darnit. Whaddya do.

Well I got an amazing picture that should have been on National Geographic or something. This elderly lady that is a vendor on the street....oh man...I couldn't resist. I havent really asked someone for their picture in Korea yet, except for the guys at the airport (!) because I didnt know how hospitable they would feel. But this lady as soon as I motioned to her that I wanted to take her picture, she acted like she was not suitable for a picture. She wiped her forehead with her sleeve, and muttered some think like....oh not me!, and then grinned away. I can hardly wait to post this picture. I walked away with a big grin on my face!
It's something to paint I think!

Well, the last two days were quite somethign. Talk about learning curve! I honestly don't know how I'm managing these kids or the classroom....but I am somehow! Only 5 minutes between classes....so really I dont have time to think about it..which ends up being good. Today I did an hour class with only one student, Jenny, with NO warning. I was quite proud of myself...even if I did just follow the book. Wait a minute..who am I kidding? I always follow the book! Tee hee!

Did I say yet about all the horn honking? EVERYWHERE!!! Loud music on the street, motorcycles on the road and the sidewalk...it's not that dangerous feeling though. Bicycles ringing their bells at you to get out of the way...little babies strapped on to mother's backs....really! On the way home tonight, as I stopped to look at the variety of sizes of live octopus in separate basins, a lady said 'octopus' in korean (I wish I could remember it now), and picked up a live octopus to show me! I've never seen a live one before...and it all curled up...coool! Then I noticed that her baby was on her back, an dhe was eating a 'pocky stick' . For those who don't know what a pocky stick is...go to your local Asian store....actually they're getting more popular in other stores too. They are sweet 'cracker' like sticks dipped in chocolate, or strawberry, or vanilla, or other wierd things. They can get quite addicting. So her baby had one, and she said "pepero", or what I know it as....a pocky stick.

Apparently tomorrow in Korea, because it is November 11, or 11/11, and the 1 is in the shape of a stick, everyone brings pepero's to school to share and trade! Ha! Interesting! I wonder if the adults do that too....

Okay, I went shopping again tonoight for food and such at Zero Market. Koreans are very appreciative of beauty and the like. Everyother store is a beauty shop, hairdresser, or clothing store, with gadget stores inbetween full of stationery or plants or food. Anyway, I got a few face packs, which are a sheet instead of a mask for your face. The options are crazy and really really awesome. Let's see, one was lotus, one was aloe, one was kiwi, one was carrot, ....I got potato!, a collagen one (don't tell!), and a ginseng essence mask. There were more that I can't really remember right now.

There was perfume like CK1 that was about 25$! Oh, and since I lost it, I got a pair of sunglasses last night for $35 that I'd like to think were Donna Karan cuz it says DK on it. Who knows. From the case it came in, it should be! Oh yes, there's a glasses shop every street at least...maybe even 2 or 3! They have the funkiest glasses there!

Oh, and for the interior designers or those interested, all the lighting is VERY environmentally friendly. Or power consuming friendly. Now I'm trying to remember what the lamp is called...grrr but they're the long skinny ones that are very white bright. Every store has tonnes of them..and most are hanging right out in the open. I've got a great 'fluorescent' light in my room, and MR16's in every corner. Man this is GREAT!

Oh, and it's really easy to remember to take off your shoes everywhere, because the floor is lower there, and the shoe cupboard is right beside it. Yep. I think I like it.

Okay...back to the supermarket....I went to buy green veggies...and went to take some, and it was promptly whisked out of my hand by a lady who had a bag for me, and put it on a scale to price it. It was priced and handed back to me like it was in the bulk section of SaveOn with a sticker on it. COOL! You get SERVICED here! What I love the most is that the garlic is all peeled for you! Comeon Canada! Get with the times! Tee hee. Well, there's something about buying a clove of garlic anyway.

And I got ketchup, thousand island is the only dressing I saw there, and I LOVE 1000 island too. Olive Oil mayo...and Nick if you're reading this....IT"S REAL MAYO! We can now live in Korea! Heh. Nott that salad dressing crap that I can't stand! So...my dinner tonight is potatoes and mayo /ketchup, and corn from a can. Yep, that's fine by me. Salad coming up. All of us Irish ppl can survive here now! Heh.

What else...hmmm
I'm gonna close off for now, and hope that this saves and I dont delete it!
Love you all and keep in touch okay?
There is an option to comment, and I'd love to see some!

Trying this one...November 10 05

Kay guys, let's try this one instead. What a pain in the arse. What can u do.
I've been writing full on stories and I can't seem to publish them! Grrr. So maybe this will work better. As I write and watch TV at the same time. Eyes on TV, and fingers on keyboard.

Love this multitasking!! Korean much music'. Pretty interesting- how their music videos are. Alot of bright colorful everything. Simple, clean, almost sterile feeling, but really comforting at the same time. Hmmm.

Okay, that's it for now.
