Running gag

So I've found one thing to be true if you laugh instead of cry you'll be ok....and boy does this place give you plenty to laugh about. The bells signaling the start of class play the song Fur Elise...Amanda saw a girl yesterday had a shirt on that said "pythagorean" and the men seem to be exceedingly fond of hot pink clothing. One restaurant proudly advertised "Fride Chicken." The students pick English names, other teachers claim kids have selected "the hulk" and "I don't like teacher." Very creative. Many Koreans like to talk about us, or so we assume as we can't understand them but we find that if we simply increase the speed of our conversation they lose us as well. Hoping to find toilet paper tonight and perhaps some alcohol....words of the wise to anyone wanting to try this out....LEARN KOREAN. Not just a few phrases, learn it completely! Nothing is in English. Peace out cats. ~Abi

Abi, so let's just be sure that if your plants die in the coming year it's not my fault :)
The 'bury wasn't the same without you this past weekend (quieter) but I am glad to hear you have arrived safe and sound. Can't wait to hear about the randomness some more.
Cheers!
