Time For A Change

Things that I do now, that I never did before Korea:

  • squeegee the floor after every shower
  • roll up my pants before going into a bathroom
  • duck when turning on a bathroom sink
  • only eat the inside of grapes and leave behind little purple grape carcases
  • contemplate my options at toilet paper vending machines
  • hear the difference between "Hyundai" and "Haeundae"
  • refer to kimchi as "pretty good"
  • drink aloe juice, and like it.
  • use words like "pagey" "changey" and "lunchy"
  • get annoyed if I have to pay more than 2200 won ($2.20) for a taxi
  • consider "hello kitty" socks + flip flops acceptable business footwear
  • Push when I want to Pull, Pull when I would Push, Lift when I want to Lower, Twist when I would Close... every instinct is opposite here!
  • Alpha-numeric Sudoku. I've become a sudoku wizard! 9x9 puzzles with just numbers no longer cut it. I've moved on to 16x16 with letters and numbers. It's definitely a challenge. They should keep me busy for the next month or so... after that, no idea how I'll entertain myself at work.

so many options... what to choose, what to choose?
