Coming to you at 6 am, after a solid 3 hours of surfing the net....
I went to bed exhausted at 10pm, to awake 5 hours later. Awesome. School's going to be super fun today! (In all seriousness, I'm really excited to be back at school. I would have preferred it be after a full night's sleep but you can't win 'em all)
While I was home, this commercial came on and my mom said to me "Were those supposed to be words?". I was watching The New Girl and The Mindy Project on Hulu this (very early) morning and that commercial came on. I was curious what the song was so I shazammed it. Turns out it's KPop! The song in commercial is a KPop group called 2NE1 (like twenty one, but pronounced like two-any-one). I know you want to hear more of it, so here it is.
I'll be using http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/ to learn some more korean this year. The korean teacher at my school offers classes for us foreign teachers, but I usually teach lessons during that time. It's a little embarrassing how little korean I know... but you'd be surprised at how easy it is to scrape by with taxi and restaurant korean. Everything else I do here is in English! Not a ton of opportunity to learn.
Nut Rage is a thing in Korean news. Macadamia nut sales soared after this incident. Apparently Korea has a great sense of humor.
I watched some quality films on the airplane rides to and from SoKo. This Is Where I Leave You, The Good Lie, The Giver, 21 Jump Street, and Billy Elliot. All worth watching. I sought out The Giver here in Korea and am so glad I did. I've been telling everyone I know that they need to watch it. I read the book back in middle school and loved it, which miiiiight contribute to my enjoyment of the film. However, the depictions of humanity (good and bad) are breathtaking. What an incredible movie. Go see it.
