I don't feel like writing in a coherent paragraph form today. Therefore I am going to list what I want to write about.
1. I went to "What the book" yesterday and bought two books. I am excited for the new reading material and appalled at how expensive even used books are in this country. Shipping ruins everything. I have heard of a few "book exchange" groups which I plan on using once I get a few titles here.
2. Yesterday, I tried using my card to pay for my dinner. It was rejected. A very nice man translated for me that I needed to call my bank. I don't know why my card was rejected as there is money on it. He was also nice and bought my dinner. I <3 the kindness of strangers.
3. Yesterday, on the subway a group of four loud and very drunk americans got on. I looked around and it was apparent that all of the Koreans were 1-looking at me to see my reaction, and 2-extremely annoyed. I wanted to apologize for the loud group. They were extremely annoying.
4. I am starting to get more adventurous in what I eat as half the time I have no idea what it is anyway. On Friday, however, there was a dead animal floating in my soup bowl for the school lunch. I just couldn't bring myself to eat that. It was also one of the first moments since being here that it really hit me that I am in a foreign country.
I believe that is all for now.
