Realizations I have made since I've come to Korea (about Korea, myself, etc.)

1. People are soccer cuhraaaaazy here. Hopefully they win against Nigeria :) If not, I wouldn't really mind because there'd be less chaos AND I could get the t-shirts for cheaper ;)

2. World Cup is the only time I ever watch Soccer and I think what I enjoy the most about soccer is how excited a team gets when a team scores a goal. It's not like that in other sports because goals are considered rare, unless your Portugal playing North Korea...
What I enjoy least: how every player falls after getting hit by air.

3. I've realized how shallow, especially girls, can be when it comes to sports. Most of us only know the good looking people. I guess the same goes for guys in women's sports. Actually, it's not even sports, this could be for anything i guess...

4. Enough about soccer. I officially have decided I don't like traveling. I can't wait for Yonsei to start so I have a set schedule. I don't like going around everywhere, sleeping in a different place every couple days, etc. What I hate especially about travling: long airplane rides and turbulance. It has made it onto my top 10 things I hate along with carsickness, upset stomach, and Kobe Bryant. I do like nature though and all things green, parks, etc. Jejudo was beautiful :) I didn't even get to enjoy it in its fullness because it was so foggy though.

5. KOREAN FOOD = YUMMY. That is all.

6. Could the boys in Korea be any more feminine? Boy do they love their skinny jeans and pink clothing..... BLECH! Sometimes I feel a little violent when I see someone like that and want to knock him off his bicycle or something. HAHAHA

7. The weather is stanky and humid!!! Im planning on cutting my hair soon and I can't wait because it wont be as nasty in this weather!

8. Fishing is fun :) Even though all you basically do is wait, it's exciting! It was drizzling a little when I went but I enjoyed that feeling afterwards where I felt like I had a layer of slime/salty ocean water on me. HAHA

9. I've realized when you're not around internet access, you don't really miss it too much.

10. Korean babies/kids/toddlers are SO CUTE!!!!!!!!! They're so much cuter than American babies.. maybe I'm just bias though. I don't think they're as friendly as American babies though. A lot of them give me the stank eye when I try and play with them.

11. People smoke and drink a lot here.

12. I'm a little sad that I won't be at home with nothing to do and lazing on my couch while Wimbledon is on TV.

13. Kim Yu Na and Park Ji Sung are advertised EVERYWHERE.

14. During the week I've been here, I've touched one of those puffy fish, cut up an octopus leg, found a cute kitty on the street, seen a siberian husky, been bit my like 20 mosquitos, and accidentally ate an ant. I miss my dogs <3

15. I've been reading a lot more here than I have in America. Currently reading Lolita, good book :) I hope that doesn't mean you'll automatically think it's boring Miyoung ;)

*Dave, I edited this numerous times hoping there weren't any grammar or spelling mistakes. Forgive me if there are still errors! I hope it's good enough for you :)
