New Shirt

Just a quick post about a new shirt I got... for very cheap at a place called Dondaemun Night Market, thanks to my friend JiSun. The place in Dongdaemun we went to is actually a wholesale area, and generally they don't sell wholesale price to people who aren't shop owners, but they were having a lot of sales... and there are a few other things that are helpful in getting good deals.





While young women in Seoul tend to be rather fashionable, I'm not Koreanized enough to go for anything that's trendy, but this was a buy I was quite happy with. I'm got a couple other things too for warmer weather. I'll model them for you all when I have more time.

Right now, it's past one in the morning and I am still getting over my flu, so I'd better get to sleep.

I'm back online!

Since South Korea is relatively new at being welcoming to foreigners, those of us who are from other countries have to get what we call an ARC or an Alien Registration Card. If I had applied for an F-4 visa (for foreigners who have parents from Korea), as I should have, I wouldn't have to worry much about an ARC. Since I only have a E-2, I couldn't sign up for internet service until I got my ARC, which was just Monday. I feel like I can breathe again.

I got my first flu in South Korea, so I had a hospital trip today and only paid about 3,500 won, which is less than 3 dollars. Teachers sure get good health insurance here. I got some medicine that I need to take for 3 days, 3 times a day, each dose packaged in it's own little paper envelope.

I have a lot to write about, but now it's time for me to rest up. Hope everyone's been well. I missed my first food today... hot apple cider. Anyone know where I can get some in Seoul?
