Two months down. So much has happened in the last two months it feels like I have been here longer. I can't believe it has been two months and it is almost November.
Good news! My washing machine door was fixed yesterday! The chopstick method just wasn't cutting it. When I came back to my apartment last night I walked into a spotless kitchen. My trash had been taken out, my food was organized, the floor was swept, and all my dishes were clean. While the door was being repaired, Cinderella did a little touching up herself. If I can get her to do this once a week we are set.
Got my hair cut today. I have been meaning to get one, oh for about a year now. I have been nervous to get one in Korea in case there was some miscommunication and I ended up with no hair. However, today I stumbled pass a salon with a lady with red dyed hair and figured she looked cool so I couldn't go wrong. I told her to cut "jogeum" (the korean word for little) and showed her with my fingers how much.The whole time I was sitting in the chair I was nervous she was going to do something crazy. I should have gave her more credit. My hair looks and feels great!
Apologies in advance if I come back to the States and I shove you out of the way to get somewhere...and not feel bad about it. At first it bothered me that people would bump me and not even acknowledge it. But I have realized it is normal and not rude. Even the little old ladies with hunched backs and canes do it. Also, I might come back walking unusually fast and possibly run to my destinations.

Your blog is cracking me up! You seem like you're having such a fun time. My mom used to work in China Town in Boston for liek 10 years and all the old chinese people just shove their way through anyone no matter how young or old you are. Then they glare at you like you were the one who did something wrong.
