It has been exactly one month since I arrived in Korea and what I have done? Well started working at a real 40+ hour a week job. Visited family. Walked around the outside of Dongdaemun. Went to COEX mall. Learned the subway system. Learned how to kind of read Korean, very slowly. Gone to a jimjabang (a spa where everyone is naked... yeah awkward).
The short list of what I would like to do in the near future: Actually go inside of Dongdaemun Market. Go to Namdaemun. Travel outside of Seoul. Go to Busan. Climb a mountain. Go to a Buddhist temple. Go to a palace. Get a dog. Learn how to speak Korean (this may take all year).
I can't believe it's already been a month. It feels like I've been here a lot longer and yet not long at all. Does that make sense? Anyway after my long hospital stay it's nice to be back at my place. It never really felt like home until today.
Tomorrow is going to be extremely long. I have to be there by 10:10 am and I won't leave until 8 pm. Did I discuss that I found out that I only get paid for the hours that I teach. I get there at 10:10 but I don't start teaching until 11:10 (and only for 40 minutes). So I get paid the 40 minutes that I teach. Alright in short those ten hours that I'm there I get paid for 6. It's basically so I can never get overtime. But regardless of whether I work 40 teaching hours a week I still get paid $2000 a month. That's confusing but I'm tired and can think of no other way to make it better.
I got two packages from Lucas today!! Plus stuff Genea threw in there :). I love my music note pendant it is so awesome and all that tea. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you so much!! And Lucas thanks for everything. I'm eating the goldfish as I type <3

WHBAT ABOUT THE HOST??
love you
YW glad you like it :D Isn't it snazzy to get mail?! Oh yeah.. about the tea. You should add one tsp of sugar it totally makes a difference. On the lilly pad stuff try steeping it for a few mins and then pour it off and resteep. It was really bitter! OMG! The blooming tea is sooo cool! It's a green tea so drink it when you want to be awake :D
It sounds like you have a lot of fun things on your list of things to do while you are away.
I definitely misread that as you were eating an actual goldfish! I have been up way too late the last two days completely obsessing over Twilight. I'm excited about the book club lol.
