Oh Dear

So there are pretty much one trillion and seven ways to insult someone in Korea. I'm scared haha No giving gifts wrapped in dark colors or multiples of four, but bright colors, like yellow, and multiples of seven are good. Or was it multiple of four is good and seven is bad :/ Writing someone's name in red=bad. Sitting in certain spots at the table; refusing a drink from an elder; saying thankyou right after being complimented. Bad, bad, bad. People are going to think I am American with how rude I will accidently be. :(

But the good news is girls not shaking hands is alright! :D

안녕히계세요

I will be "that" exchange student...

...the one that says yes to everything because they don't know any other words. :P Or in my case, I guess it would be "I love you." Awkward.

Anywho, I decided that this would be the pretty much perfect spot to chronicle everything to do with my South Korea trip. So yeah. That's what is going to be here now. Not that anyone reads this, which makes this more of a note to self thing I guess. :P

So why South Korea you may ask? Well, I will tell you why, in list form.
1. It's pretty.
Whether it is in the capital or on the countryside, South Korea is GORGEOUS! And I want to see it for myself :P

2.The culture
It is an incredibly modern place that still manages to hold on to some old ideals.
3. The Language
It sounds awesome and apparently isn't that hard to learn.
4. They eat less seafood than Japan.
I would rather eat fermented veggies and super spicy foods than icky seafood. Just a preference of mine.
5. It also happens to be cheaper to live in Seoul than it is to live in Tokyo :P
6.
I was hoping to come up with more reasons before using this one.

...how could you NOT want to go to Korea after that XD hahahaha


Saranghae ;)
