Wednesday of Break Week

Today started just like yesterday. In fact it was almost the same exact day. I woke up and watched some twitch to relax. Around 12pm I headed out for lunch with the girl that I ate with yesterday. Her English is actually pretty good. She is learning American colloquialisms and it's pretty funny when she busts them out. Sometimes it stuns me for a second and I can't respond right away. I never thought I'd have that problem, but until you're in that situation you don't know how you'll react.

We got some 차돌박이 (Cha Dol Bag E) for lunch which is super thinly sliced beef brisket, and it is delicious! We actually went to the same place that I went with An Hyo Sang a few weeks ago, mainly because I knew about it. She had of course been there before, but it was good nonetheless.

Ahhh wonderful food. It really brings back memories, haha. After lunch we went to a coffee shop, which is pretty customary in Korea. I was talked into a black tea latte, and despite how that sounds I really enjoyed it. I would say it was a bit sweet, and milky if I was asked to describe it. Quite tasty.

After lunch and coffee, we headed back to the dorms. We spent about 4 hours talking about Korean and American cultures, it's pretty amazing how fast time flies when you get into deep conversation. I'm very grateful for this opportunity to learn more about the culture here in Korea, and to be able to help someone feel more comfortable speaking English.

The rest of the night was spent having some chicken curry bap at 8 호관 and going to badminton class. I basically supervise and do my best not to get hit with the shuttlecock or any of the soccer balls flying around from the soccer team that practices at the field.

I realize this week is a bit lacking on the activities, so I have finally finished the interview questions for the other RA's here. This week we're gonna start off with a bang. I will be interviewing Heavy G and probably posting that as a special post tomorrow. That's all for today! Stay tuned for tomorrow and finding out all about Heavy G! Thanks for reading.

EDIT: I totally forgot, Nathan sent me some literature on the topic we discussed yesterday. The Korean education system is fascinating, and if you have just a few minutes these (very short) articles can help you understand a bit better.

Korean Word/Phrase of the Day: 보수 (Bo Soo) this means conservative. As in dressing conservatively, or being conservative in a relationship.

TL:DR I am Blessed.
