Before going to Korea, I had never:

- been surprised when the Budweiser cap wouldn't screw off (1st night in Korea)

- taught English (2nd day in Korea)

Having lived part-time with a Korean girlfriend in America and gone to some massage parlors when I was younger, Korea isn't very different than America for me.

never owned a motorcycle, now I have three....I'm addicted
never had a cell phone
never ate squid, now I like it

never copulated with a girl other than a Canadian born and bred for at least 2 generations (Euro decent) - now I wonder why I wasn't trying to tap this untapped resource so long ago

thought yellow fever was weird - now I know exactly what it means and I love it, yellow fever, latina fever, nubian fever, curry fever.....ahhh the women of the world are so darn pretty and come with such interesting culture!!!!

I thought I wasn't a racist and that it was only white people who were racist....god was I wrong....messed up little world and I unfortunately seem to have grown to understand how such racial prejudice exists!!! Perhaps I should call it Geo cultural understanding of things that I don't like and think might be better fixed....I don't know.

I had clean lungs - now I have dirty lungs

I wasn't married and had no intention of doin so - my slant eyed princess has stolen my heart and I think mixed kids are the coolest thing on earth

I hated my damn white skin and wished I was born Italian like my bronze skinned childhood best friend who always made me feel like a pasty freak who needed to hide from the sun....this hasn't changed
