HAPPY WHITE DAY!

So today is White Day in Korea. Valentines day is 2.14 and it when girls buy guys stuff then White day is 3.14 and guys buy girls stuff!

I spent some time reading in a park on Wednesday and it was a hilarious experience. So many children kept running up to me and just starring at me. I'd say Hi or Anyahaseyo and they'd giggle and run away. One group of older boys walked by and told me I was beautiful and kept waving and saying bye. And then a really young girl walked up to me and said "Hello, where are you going?" which was a strange questions since I was sitting down reading but I said "well I'm a teacher so I'm going to teach soon" and she said "oh so you teach English?" and I said "yeah" then she started getting out some candy and she handed me a couple pieces I said thank you and she said goodbye. I was amazed with her English and her bluntness. It really made my day.

Before that I found out my only paying student had canceled so I was feeling a little discouraged but luckily I had more time to read my book.

Eddie and I tried a new Pho Mein restaurant in Cheolsan on Wednesday. It wasn't amazing but it was okay... but the exciting thing was the guy gave us a point card. I think we look a little less like a tourist because we never used to be offered point cards but now I have 3 coffee shop cards and now 1 restaurant. I wonder if I look different now or something.

Yesterday we worked out then spent some time in a Smoothie King drinking smoothies and studying. I was reading my book and Eddie was preparing for the final he is taking right this second! Then we came home and read for a while. I made some dinner then worked at 9pm then we read some more.... It was a slow day and it was a rainy one too. It is warming up though so I am really hoping to get to see more temples and museums now that I can walk around more comfortably.

Today is my official day off even though every day seems like I'm off now... We're working out then Eddie is playing soccer at 3:30 and then hopefully we'll do something fun.
