a very interesting thing happened the other day which only now am i able to actually write about it. i'm still in shock about the whole event. and even now as i'm about to write about i just want to laugh. it seems that one of my dreams which i mentioned in a previous blog has become true to some extent. the dream in question is the one about me, misty, kate, and the mysterious man in the bathroom. i'm sure you know where this is going.
a couple of days ago i was heading to the bathroom at work. there's public restrooms on each floor that everyone uses. so i'm casually walking down the hallway minding my own business. i turn to go into the men's room when right before my eyes i catch a glimpse of a bare assed man, pants around his ankles trying to go from one stall to another before he explodes. i managed to catch him just as he was walking into a new stall and the whole time he's either talking to himself or on the phone. its hard to tell because no matter what they're doing in the bathroom (#1 or #2) they always seem to be on the phone. before i can even get into the bathroom i hear this sound that immediatelly makes me want to turn right around. it was as if the heavens above had opened up and let everything out. i stood there in disbief. did this really just happen i thought. there was no way i could use the bathroom now because all i wanted to do was laugh. i don't think he say me but i was completely embarassed for him so i turned around and waited 10 minutes before heading back to the danger zone. upon my return he was gone. it does make one good story though. gotta love korea.
as the coffee place today horace and i ran into another westerner. he was basically a dopey white guy. you know the kind that comes to korea to get a wife. we tried talking to him but he didn't say anything to us. oh well. the mochas are getting better and better with each one. i love having my own little coffee place here. it makes me feel at home. plus i feel like i'm supporting a mom and pop shop. four more and then i get my free one.
now its time for me to say how sad i feel about the outcome of the election. of course deep down i knew that this would happen. however, there was a small part of me that held out hope for my fellow americans to see the light. alas they didn't. and now we have 4 more years. korea is looking sweeter and sweeter by the minute. i guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. that's all i really want to say on the matter. there's so much more i could say but i really don't feel like being depressed.
i got a new student the other day named diana. she's in my orange b class with the older kids. she's a lot younger than them and reads so much better. its amazing. jk told me today that yesterday her mom said i looked sharp. i'm sure it had to do with the fact i was wearing a tie but i'll take that compliment. little do they really know.
thats about it for tonight. until next time…
