The ‘deepest’ statements tend to be the most obvious, simple, and overlooked ideas

Ethnocentrism.

It’s kinda weird being in Korea. I’m at a foreign place but it’s my “motherland” so it’s sorta not foreign. This gives me an opportunity to hear and understand people more clearly than I have previously been able to (Chad, Peru, Thailand). 

I was talking with my gomoboo (or listening to him talk) and he mentioned how people come to Korea and kinda look down on them because they can’t understand them and etc. But he continued on about how they can’t think like that and was like ‘they can’t speak Korean so if we compared them the same way they would be babos as well’.

All the time I always subconsciously and consciously compare something to the U.S. and the U.S. lifestyle is automatically the “normal” and often the better culture. I’m so dumb

Jeans Observation.

I feel like my jeans have shrunk since i’ve come here..

Anyways in korea sometimes it’s hard to tell guy from girl because 80%-90% of the time their jeans have the same tightness. But i’ve also come to notice that the number of similar jeans in the U.S. has significantly increased as well. I guess it’s not as sheem-heh as Korea but the U.S. still has it.

O yea Dwayne Wade was also sporting some bright pink pants on T.V. the other day too

2:21 AM

The time where i begin to write this entree.

I just woke up from a discouraging nap. It’s those moments where you keep bouncing in and out of reality/dream and everything just gets annoying. Plus i also felt like throwing up.

 i tickled the little hanging thingy in my throat but nothing would come out. I tickled it many times but to no avail, so i decided to eat some candy and sit here until something happens

Kinda hard to sleep bc i feel bleh and there’s that little ball of annoyance that sporadically decides to jiggle around whenever i think about it.. which makes me annoyed… then not sleepy..  ok i’m done.

I guess ill jus update on Korea now:

Met with many more of my cousins. THe little baby boys i met in 5th grade are now chubby middle school kids. and they speak formally to me which is weird and it’s weirder because i speak korean to them and yeah i don’t do that often…

I also have discovered a baby cousin that is extremely cute and sassy. so good at korean and she made fun of me because i suck. Pictures to come!

She started off shy and then held my hand much later in the day but then let go right after because my hand felt weird (callused and taped from golf lessons) :(

getting better at golf.

my other gomo or immo is quite the worrisome one and inadvertently raises her voice alot. My cousins (the mothers of the kids) call her out on that everytime but she can’t fix it. She also gave me 100 dollars.

My cousin tae eun ee noonah lives on the 24th floor which is really high and i like it. The apartment itself is really nice too.. i really like.

They delivered udong, kimbap, other stuff, and some dukbokgi in an interesting pasta sauce. 

They already fed me galbi jim and stuff before but kept making me eat more. i think that is why i feel this way right now.
