i realize that I very much enjoy my social interactions in Korea

I had some very satisfying ones today

most recently, a foreigner at the Chinese place where I stuffed myself silly wanted to know where the dumplings were on the menu. I wish in retrospect I had taught him about the very English-able 'cheap place' restaurant.

the waitress at the restaurant tried to warn me: I looked up on-kur on my phone after I ordered it, it means rather spicy. Well yes it was quite spicy.

Then I was exchanging glances with a young lady through a mirror on a column in the middle of the restaurant.

Then I met a couple of Korean boys who exchanged small talk in two languages.

and then I had some pretty bearable calls to my kids.

My stomach and body are tired, hope everyone has had or is having a happy halloween.

I'm going to get on top of making this less boring, among other important things

  1. I loved witnessing your social interactions in Korea. You've always been a super friendly person, but seeing you interacting on another continent in another language was a great treat. "Pretty bearable calls" needs some elaboration. I don't think your blog is boring; more frequent installments has been an improvement. Like everything, it needs more pictures.
