I had an interesting weekend in that I found out that I wasn't going to Japan to get my visa and now I still don't know when or why that actually changed. I'm told by my friends and co-workers that patience in the waiting game is where it's at as culture in Korea is much different than in the U.S.

I went to a korean movie last weekend because it rained ALL DAY Saturday. I went with with 3 Americans and 1 Korean. I didn't understand a word but I understood the main plot and afterwards we all asked the Korean the parts we didn't understand. It was unique and quite fun.

I found out that the rainy season here is about two weeks of rain...straight. I am really anxious to see what that is like. I have never seen so much rain in my life. I saw on the news in MI that there was a flood last weekend at the B-93 concert. Wow - almost 8 inches of rain fell! I heard that you are having 90ish degree days. That's insane for it only being June. I think that the hottest it's gotten here is about 80ish, maybe hotter with the humidity. The humidity is what's terrible, it is always so sticky.

Funny story. I was teaching my young class, I think they are pre-schoolers on Tuesday and I wrote the numbers 1-20 on the board and I wanted them to say them. I didn't get around to it but after the bell rang, I looked at the numbers as I was getting ready to erase them and I saw...7, 8, 10. Ha, I am an english teacher and I forgot the number 9. I laughed pretty hard.

I went to the store today and bought some toothpaste, a hair cutting scissors and a few other things. I think that I have the whole apartment pretty much set, the last thing is going to be a fan. They are super expensive here but I found one at the store that was 34,000 won, which is about $25. Most of them are at least $35 but they are up to over a $100.

That's all for now. Thanks for checking my blog and keeping up with my journey.
