So I never thought about it before I came here but... Korea is filled with Koreans. Korean food, music, people, everything. I like the way Koreans think more so than Americans, i think it's closer to how I think. But I miss seeing other people sometimes. I haven't been annoyed being stared at all the time, sometimes I wish they wouldn't but I understand especially in my area I might be the first foreigner they've ever seen. I grew up seeing international people, having ELL in my classes and stuff. Never thought the rest of the world is just one ethncity. Kinda weird thinking that you could grow up with ppl that all looked, thought and acted like you. Either way I won't be surprised if Korea takes over the worlld. I mean they make all kindsa stuff from nothing. No resources, no space and thy have a ton of ppl who are dedicated workers...just saying.
I think I could stay in Korea for a long time if 1.) I put more effort into actually learning Korean 2.) I found a good place to Salsa 3.) Could find a place close by tht had music that I miss like reggae/soca stuff 4.) Got more connected with friends.
I'll def com back if I get a chance. I can't believe I'm thinking about home already but it's mostly cuz of school. Tryin to get that together is a headache! There's still so much that I want to see and do! I haven't even gotten to go on a date with a real Korean LOL. 6 moreweekends and only 2 that don't have anything planned. I gotten make it back to Daegu to buy stuff I want and see friends, I wanted to go to Seoul to see the kids I used to tutor but getting i contact with them is proving more difficult than I thought. Anyway I'm procrastinating from writing my lesson plans for my open class next week. I gotta turn it in tomorrow and do my lesson plans a week in advanced. I think they caught on that I'm slacking. i think I forgot to turn in a few days of plans when the printer was broken. Not to mention i kinda wing it a lot. I know I'm not the best teacher, I just hate having to come up with new stuff every day with out having a goal to work toward. Like if I knew what they wanted to teach or learn it'd be easier. Oh well.
