* Friday I gained an appreciation for “bar close” because it tells you you’re drunk and have to go home. I had dinner with co-workers and then was drinking till after 3am. Needless to say the next day I felt like “dong.”
* Teachers are leaving, new ones are here … so it’s a sad and happy time so it was worth the hangover.
* “When in Rome” I’m not a fan of going to a restaurant with all foreigners. Despite the chicken fingers and honey mustard sauce I had to cure my hangover, I wasn’t feeling the vibe even though I was around people that I’ve been used to for the past 26 yrs of my life. Weird huh?!?!
* “Yagu” aka baseball (well softball) was introduced to my sister this weekend. I tried to show her the way… and she didn’t do half bad for a first timer. My brother showed me his skills – he had some strong points and then looked a bit uncoordinated at other times. The hardest I threw was about 60% at one point and I guess I hurt my brother’s finger. Oops! It was wicked funny though b/c I got to see more of my siblings’ personalities. Mun Hyuk was playing “catcher” and giving me signs and animating the umpire “strrriiikke.” We got through the language barrier just fine. Softball is softball no matter what country you’re in.
* After dinner w/ birth father and his wife, we went for a stroll along a stream and saw a fountain light show which was neat. Then we came back, I got a mini physical from my step- mom --- she was squeezing my arms and legs and was like “ahh good” but then she squeezed the belly and it was “not so good” ... It looked like she was reading my palm and then she started talking… Korean Korean Korean “dong” Korean Korean and gave a little poke to the top of my poop shoot. Yeah that was uncomfortable… but then my sister gave me a massage (aka cracking my back and then pound it to death) which surprisingly feels good.
* My brother and I are meeting at 7:00pm at Chungmuro Subway next Saturday to have dinner and then see Namsan Tower (Similar to the tower in Seattle). We communicated that all by ourselves! Woop woop!
* Birth mother gave me more clothes and they are becoming less hideous. Two shirts have “RAFFIA” written about 4 times. No idea what it means but that’s fashion around here.
A fun weekend to close out August and start September!
