Korea:
Fish- The scent of fish wafts through the air. Fish stands, selling fish soup, fish sticks, fish stu and fishy fish stuff too. As you walk by one of the many stands, the strongest fishy smell fills your nostrils and my first thought is always, "Ewww! That stinks! I just can't get used to it."
Bowing- As I enter any restaurant or store I am met with a bow and verbal greeting. Other people do it to, like the kid's parents or some people I work with, or just strangers on the street. Make eye contact, give a small bow and greeting. I smile, cause I don't know how to say hello properly yet, or I am just too self concious to say it.
Red light runners- The busses and sometimes other cars run the red lights, the ambulances and cops don't seem to. Hmm...
Meat sticks- They sell yummy bbq'd meat sticks at these stands all over the place for 1000 won here (like $1.50), sooo good!
That's all for now. More later, as there is way more to mention!
p.s. I'm doing well, by the way. I had my ear drum cut opened by a doctor the other day. My ear was plugged for nearly a month, as no natural drainage took place. So, I had to resort to the cutting. It hurt, the anestetic was weak, but I didn't want him to stick a needle in my ear drum either. He sucked some fluid out with a sucky thing... that was the most painful out of everything. Then I had to lay on that same side that night with tissue under my ear and hope for maximum drainage, as the incision was due to close by the next day. I go to see the doc tomorrow to check the progress... my hearing is better, but not perfect yet. I am hoping for some good news, which I am pretty sure I will get. Bye!
