The Longer Story

Hey there, I'm back again!

I'm getting internet from the front stoop of the apartment. Awesome, haha.

Alright so a few extra details about the past few days.

A lot of young men in Korea wear polos with big bold letters on the underside of the collar (which means they always wear it popped advertising the lettering). I saw a boy on the subway today with an Angry Birds polo on. Literally had an angry bird on the pec. I was dying.

I was on my way out to Suwon today and there was a boy next to me who was starting to fall asleep. I felt pressure on my shoulder and turned and all of a sudden he was sleeping on me. I had no idea what to do. The old lady across from me was cracking up; apparently I was making a pretty hilarious face. He slept on me for half. an. hour. Thankfully he didn't drool. When we finally came to a stop, he jolted up and just looked at me, then got up and left. I was so weirded out.

Today I had a great interaction with a drunk guy. He was sitting on a stoop at a street corner just reeling back and forth, and I asked him if he was okay and he just went mrrrrrphlphhhhrrrrrrr and swayed a little more. We had a total connection.

Tonight I went out for 고기만두국 with Angie and Jerrime (it's like a dumpling soup) and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. The dumplings were like 95% meat (which is GREAT) and the soup was just the right salty and eggy. I was in heaven. Whenever I bit into a little dumpling the soup would fill up my mouth and steam would puff out everywhere - a little taste of paradise with every chew!!!!! (I would go on for days but I won't bore you, haha)

Afterward we went to home plus, and then went out and got Rich Milk Ice Cream Bars (which are basically condensed milk on a stick, YUM!) and sat outside of the corner store and hung out. It was really peaceful.

Anyways, that's it for now! Miss y'all!

Love,

Janet
