Just arrived the other day and walked about two miles to a market. The owner of the market offered to give me a ride back because I had like seven bags of groceries. Well, we started driving, and I completly forgot wherte exactly I lived as it was my first stroll around. Wew drover around the same small area for about 40 minutes looking for my apartment. He didn't even get frustrated and refused to leave until I found it. Also refused a tip. This would NEVER happen back in the states with a total stranger. Maybe I still have the rose colored glasses, but IMO Koreans are actually very sweet people in general if you just get past their rush rush mindsets. Same thing about my in laws. They are some of the nicest people you could meet, but are always in a hurry.

Decided to pay off my student loand before it's interest grew to where it would be a major undertaking to pay off. I feel like I made a much better choice than going to Thailand in such a crappy financial situation.

Happens a lot sure.

Just to add some juxtaposition. Was out wihta friend sun eve. A random Korean guy who had lived in the states for a couple of years joined us. his conversation consited of interrupting our conversations rudely and with no effort of social politeness to tell us about the foriegn countries he'd travelled in and how terrible they were. According to him (and these outbursts were delivered at random regardless of whether or not my friend and I were deep in a converstaion or not already...) -

1. Paris is covered in sh*t, the Champs D'lyses (sp) is 'small and dirty' and the Louvre 'is small, boring and everything is taken from another country.

2. Swiss people eat only fondue everyday which is greasy and ''smells like p*ssy. and costs around the eqvt of 80,000 Won...'

3. British people eat cow *beep* which cost about twenty pounds and come served cold (I'm a brit and have no idea what he is talking about, yet he insisted that we do...)

4. The people in Versailles live like cavemen and they don't have toilets. They all deffacate on the floor in the streets and that is why high heels were invented there so that they can avoid most of the turds that are all over the ground. they also never wash or bathe and are always dirty...

And this guy is a proffessor of astrophysics apparantly at Seoul Uni and studied under Carl Sagan in the US...

I don't know about the rest, but #4 may be at least partly based in fact. I remember it was my high school French teacher Mr. Beckman, bless his dear memory, who informed us Versailles was originally built without much regard for that aspect of life, and that is why all those beautiful chamberpots were produced at that time. So beautiful, in fact, that some of them are used today as soup tureens.

Wait till you encounter the farting adjummas on the subways, and the ajoshis that push and shove you to get on or off the subway.

I hope those glasses stay as sparkling as Korea.
