Chrissy Renae

Well now that the rant is over with, I can proceed to tell you a little about my actual week. Since you were patient with the novel style entry last time, I will be kind and entertain your eyes with mostly pictures.

Monday

English Cafe with other local teachers

Tuesday

New cell phone fiasco, followed by my HAIR CLEANING. I went back to the hair place and they deep conditioned my hair for free. Basically they played with my hair and put in a bunch of weird cremes and told me I was beautiful a  hundred times. Can’t complain about any of those things.

Wednesday

Woke up to THIS, which reminded me to appreciate the good things and stop stressing about the complications

Also, my first date with a legit Korean. It was really fun. That’s all I’m saying about it on a public forum such as a blog.

Thursday

COSTCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s always one of my favorite places, but in Korea it just gets better. There are just some things I should just never have to go without (i.e. Fiber One bars, Kashi cereal, real cheese). Between the four of us (Jono, Freddy, Beenish, me) we spent almost $400 just on food. The reason I’m telling you that is so that you can try to imagine 4 foreigners carrying $400 worth of groceries through the streets of Seoul and then through a maze of a subway trek, and then trying to separate it all to our respective homes. Yeah, just imagine it. Didn’t cause a scene at all.

Friday

CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!

Saturday

Sick morning (maybe I have the swine?? j/k. i’m fine.) Threw up off my balcony (embarassing). Slept most of the day.

Luckily I was better for the evening so I could hold up my plans with WOO-GIN. But first let me give you a brief recap on the story of the boy we like to call BEAUTIFUL KOREAN.

So one day Beenish and I were on the subway headed to a friend’s house, and we realized we were both staring at the same beautiful man sitting across from us.

Normally I am not so forward, but he was beautiful. I couldn’t help myself. Sooo I was like… uhhh can you speak english? AND HE CAN. And so we chatted and exchanged numbers and have been texting and finally got to hang out last night. I’m not like IN LOVE with the kid, because I think it’s weird to try to like someone you can barely communicate with. However, he sure is a pleasure for the eyes. He brought a friend too, so Beenish and I got to enjoy  a true Korean night on the town– kim bop, BBQ, norebong, and all.

Today

Christmas shopping in Uijeongbu. YAYYYY.

Ok that recap was exhausting, and it probably was for you too, so I’m never going to get that far behind again. Fin.
