Things I will never get used to...

1) Hotel rooms with shower rooms. There is no curtain on the shower, the walls are made of stone, and the floor has a drain in it. It's designed to be a super-steam shower, but because it's winter and there's no heat in the bathroom, it stays ridiculously dripping wet and cold. It was kinda cool at first to have a sauna and shower at the same time, but now I'm just tired of the toilet paper being soaked.

2) Heated floors. You can't put much on them! Electronics would get zapped!
3) The time difference. Okay, maybe I will get used to that, but around 4 pm, I start getting ridiculously tired, despite having slept a full eight hours the night before. Tired to the point of getting nauseous and dizzy. Please, dear jet lag, go away!
4) How amazingly awesome it is that we're ACTUALLY in South Korea!!!!! Who would EVER have guessed that Daniel and I, the super-scheduled, super-old, super-predictable people would move halfway across the world?? I love it!
5) Korean game shows. Enough said?
:-)
Today's been a really nice day. We bought some gifts for our coteachers, vice principals, and principals at E-Mart. We had lunch at Popeye's that was REALLY gross (a cold chicken cordon bleu sandwich??). We got our computer stuff organized.
It's been fun!
Have a great week!!!!

  1. Good to hear from you!

    Sorry about the jet-lag problem still with you. Just takes time! Nothing will help the wet TP situation! Hopefully, your apartment will have a different design.

    Got to see the pictures of you, Daniel and the rest as well as those of Sokcho. THAT made it real for me! To see you at the low tables eating, the view out the window of the restaurant....and voila ~ ~ THERE YOU ARE!

    Hope you have a good week ~ ~ LH&P, always

  2. Can you BUY a shower curtain at E-Mart? I guess it doesn't make sense to do so for the hotel, but you might want to do it for the apartment!
