10 things i love about Korea

10. The places you find corn, like in an egg sandwich or on ice-cream.
9. The random free food that people bring for you to eat; like a single serving of rice cake big enough to feed North Korean or egg sandwiches with corn in them.
8. Fan death: I am so glad that I now have learned the dangers of sleeping with a fan on and the windows and doors closed (I leave my cupboard door open at all times now to protect me from my killer fan).
7. The language is very easy to learn: Just say annyonghaseyo then point to what ever you want.
6. The disbelief that a foreigner can use chopsticks. It’s like the best party trick I have ever done (apparently the table napkin penis is out and chopsticks are in in in)
5. Drinking at 7/11 before Nori Bonging the night…or morning...you know I don’t think I have been to Noribong at night yet...
4. That fall is upon this little peninsula and the weather is immaculate
3. The business of shared lunches, especially with the native teachers because their food totally rocks.
2. The amazing Imports you meet here. Like Judith, her lover, the others, plus the millions of Canadians (on Saturday I met a whole plane load of Canadians that seemed to all be from Southwestern Ontario (I could tell because, like true Souwesterners they wore clothing that identified where they came from…ie BEACH, WILFRED LAURIER, Property of the LANCERS etc.), unfortunately because of #5 I was in no fit state to find out where they were headed, even though I knew at least one of them).
1. How close it is to Japan. See you soon Mr. Archer.
