I haven't posted in a while. I tend to do that... get lazy with my postings. So, I have no direct path of thought to take you on today- instead we'll just take a little glimpse into my mind...
Tonight I took the bus. It was packed. I was the only white person (foreigner) on the bus. I didn't mind.
Drunk people are tolerated way too much in Korea! One of the men on the bus was definitely drunk. He reeked like Soju. I wouldn't have stood near him.
I am going to start going to Hip Hop dance class. This is something I've always wanted to do (maybe my whole life!)... mostly I'm just too cheap- but now I'm raking in the dough... so... I hope it whips me into shape real fast! Until then... my back is a bit sore from all that body rolling.
One thing that we should implement into the American University system is "membership training". Everyone from the same major spends a weekend together eating, hiking, eating more, drinking but BEST OF ALL... performing! All the the freshman have to endure this type of hazing by being required to perform in front of the upperclassmen. Boys wear dresses and do choreographed dances. It's great team building :-)
For once in my life I am beautiful simply because I am pale. This is a strange phenomena for a westerner. We spend tons of money with fake tanning beds, lotions, bronzers, blush... but in Korea it is the other way around- skin bleaching creme. I will not partake in the bleaching, but lets face it- I don't need it. My mother has always commented on how pale I am and that I should do something about that... now I shouldn't... unless of course I want to stop receiving so much attention ;-) Yes, these days it pays to be pale.
Thats about all of my random thoughts for the evening. Love to you all!
