Routine Month

Every single day the students ask me questions about the "USA" naturally they are curious but I seem to be getting the same question on a regular basis from just about every different class. So I told them I am going to answer it one last time!!! Here is the answer "Yes I know Britney spears, she is a close friend but we like to keep our friendship quiet." "There you have it, now stop asking about her, we respect each other's privacy."

Now on to normal life, I went to Seoul this weekend and for one second I thought the city I lived in way was fun but the whole time I was in Seoul i was like, "holy excitement Batman," this city is bananas! There were what seemed to be like millions of people walking around, Tons of street vendors selling different things from food, clothing, purses, shoes, watches, to stuff you don't want to know about. They had huge stages set up on the sidewalks every 200 hundred feet having dance competitions to give away free clothing.

One piece of advice I feel like I should give to everyone is do not march in a random street protest if you have no idea what they are protesting about even if they are going in the same direction as you want to go. It is not a good idea, as I looked around and saw that I was the only non-Korean I started to wonder what "WE" were protesting about. It turns out I was marching with people that were mad about some sort of bad free trade agreement with America! I thought the dirty looks everyone was giving me was instruction on how to look at the non protesters, nope it was directed at me! "yeah guys it's my fault, I personally signed the bill that is screwing you." So I hauled ass out of that group of people, and stood with some other foreigners and tried to look pissed at America so I wouldn't get a knife stuck in my side. After that we just walked around for a while took in everything and eventually found our way back to the bus stop. All in all it was pretty fun and I am for sure going back.
