ma chigi bung bung...ma chigi!

So over the past few weeks I have learned some valuable lessons and experienced some new and exciting things:

A trip to Seoul made me realize how impatient I truly can be...as well as enlightened me to the fact that I am not made for a big dirty city!

I saw my first "love cock" exhibition in a subway in Seoul, can you think of a better place to display such a thing?


I have mastered the art of wasting between 5 and ten hours a day on the Internet searching between Facebook, Hotmail, Myspace, CNN and People.com.

I have shown a Korean family of four the art of pumpkin carving and they are now convinced it is a "ritual" or "ceremony", I said it was just for fun, they chose not to believe me.

I have had my breast felt by both a Korean woman and a Korean man...asked by the woman doctor, "does your partner suck very hard on your nipple?". Ummm...no.

I have tried to explain over the phone why I was at the doctors and resorted to saying, after 10 minutes of lost explanations, "My breast is sick. I will show you tomorrow."

I have taken an ice cold shower.

I have eaten Dukgook...(rice cake soup and my all time favorite meal) a record 30 times since coming back to Korea. To Koreans, each time they eat this meal the become a year older, that has me at 57....I wonder what happens when I hit 100.

I have taught Korean children how to play 4 square and am now trying to remaster it as I did in Middle School.

I have come to the realization and admitted that I need Daniel in my life. I think I have known since I met him, however, for the first time when I was sick it was him that I instinctively needed to hold my hand.

I have realized that I have become my mother constantly asking "does that belong there".

Its been a week!!! Pictures and more to come!
