it's been so long since i've done this, so i'm not sure if this will make any sense...but, whatever.

being in the motherland has been strange in so many ways.. just some things i noticed:
- there are so many paris baguettes here. it's like starbucks. i guess before i leave, i should try it.
- everyone here has a portable tv. EVERYONE. it makes me want one, but i would have noooo use for it.
- the recession doesn't seem to have affected korea in any way. there is so much shopping! and there are so many shoppers! honestly, i have never seen so many stores/items in my entire life...
- the food really is as cheap as they say. it's not as good as i expected though. maybe it's just cuz i expected too much? i haven't had anything that has been reaaaaallllly good. although, i did eat a moroccan sandwich, which was pretty darn good. (thanks mierie!)
- it is necessary to carry around extra napkins.
- it smells bad here. like sewer.
- 50% of people are completely and absolutely rude. 50% of the people are pretty nice.

the end
