What I have learned while living in Korea Vol 1

This is a list of musings, of observations, of hard and fast facts, of opinions, of completely made up fairy tales. These are things I have learned since I have moved to Korea. Things about myself, things about Korea and things about things. Believe them or not, I believe them to be true.

• Costco is the perfect example of the yin and the yang. Pure glorious goodness and an evil that will be the death of you.
• My stove is too small to cook with more than 2 pots at a time, even though it has 4 burners.
• We have to turn everything on and off here every time we use it. Our gas for our stove, our air conditioning and our hot water.
• Koreans really like to add glitter, rhinestones and sparkly things to everything. Read EVERYTHING.
• Bidets are equally hilarious and horrifying.
• I may just fall over and never get back up from all the mountain climbing aka getting up to our apartment every day.
• I have never tasted more unique and delicious foods in my life.
• I really love Korean food.
• Bean sprouts are my new favorite food.
• Personal space and body odors are not to be taken for granted here.
• There are stores devoted entirely to pens. Expensive pens.
• These people love to shop. It is a daily way of life.
• I love riding the bus here.
• I still have not ridden the subway.
• This is how they drive: gas. Breaks. Gas. Breaks. Gas. Breaks
• If you give up your seat for an elderly lady, sometimes, she will hold your bags for you.
• They are dressed nice all the time.
• Oh you like that? Its got a cool modern pattern on it? Look carefully, there IS a cartoon character on there somewhere...
