To further the notion that to be unique in korea is something to be undesirable, Koreans all clap as one. Even the students. It doesn't even sound like clapping. I don't know what it sounds like. Something strange though.
Things I miss from the US:
You know I started this list and can't really think of anything. Of course, there are lots of people I miss from the US, but as far as actual things go...I guess I miss my car. I miss XM for the BBC and baseball. I miss ESPN Radio. I guess I can get both of those here though via the web. I do miss cruising around in my car, which leads me to...
The bus in Korea. I finally figured out how to take it. Let me just say I'm glad I live in a country where there is no odor in people's persperation, because you're packed pretty tight in there. I don't think I could survive the bus in Europe, or even the US, where people's hygenic habits are less than stellar. Right now I'm sitting in a pizza place. Normally I go with the hot chicken, which is about the only way to get chicken around here.
Oh, I miss chicken. Good chicken. Like KFC :) And Taco Bell. And Arbys. And Tudors. I almost cried last time I thought about Tudors.
Ok anyway, so I'm about ready to order this new kind of "combination pizza". Who knows what kind of food it will be a combination of. Squid? Octopus? Kimchi? All of the above? As long as its not seaweed. I really hate the seaweed here. It's completely different-tasting than Japanese seaweed I've had back home at Chinese and Japanese resturaunts.
Oh, that reminds me, I miss Chinese food too. There is an Americanized Chinese resturaunt down by Ulsan University I'm going to have to check out soon.
I got my pizza, and what I thought was a cheese-filled crust was actually filled with mashed potatoes. Weird, but pretty good.
