Tonight at dinner I was convinced that there was an older Korean man sitting at the table next to me.

Turns out the guy was not only very white, but was also an American professor that teaches at KNU.

Apparently I can no longer tell Koreans from Americans.

I'm not sure what this means...

Although with my bangs and soon-to-be-purchased thick Asian glasses, most people will probably not be able to tell the difference between me and my fellow Koreans. :)



P.s.
I have not been able to stop listening to this song all week:


It is definitely worth a listen. Actually you might as well listen to Noah and the Whale's "Blue Skies" while you're at it.

whaaah?

Korean Dramas are the best. Really.

Melissa and I have been obsessively watching this one called Boys over Flowers:

At home, I've always felt like everything in life can be related to a Seinfeld episode, but here in Korea, everything in life is completely related to a Boys over Flowers episode.


As of tomorrow I have lived in Korea for exactly three weeks and it already feels a lot like home. I think it is going to be a very good year. :)

Buster

I am generally not a supporter of travel blogs and after some debate I had decided that I would not be starting one. However, my feelings on this changed the second I encountered this man...

While most know him only as Prof. Knickerbocker (no joke on the last name), I instantly recognized him as Buster Bluth's long lost twin brother. I can hardly tell them apart.

I can't even walk past Prof. Knickerbocker anymore without feeling like I am a part of Arrested Development.

So pretty much, I had to start a blog. It probably will not contain page long explorations into my feelings or profound statements. Mostly, it will be about how I find life in Korea to be quite funny.
