your pants are on backwards

yeah! There was a lot to read for me! I enjoyed it all so much.

Mara- is Annie almost finished with school? I'm glad you are still a lightweight, I'm still an psuedo alcoholic- it's like nothing has changed!

Meg- Thanks for posting your essay's! I was just getting all sentimental about missing school... not any more.

Gin- Quick find a job, and then come visit. ready.... go.

Well, school is coming to a close here in Shingal Middle School. The students have already had thier tests, so we are doing a lot of fun things- including fruit basket upset. An awesome game.

This weekend I'm going to the DMZ to yell across the boarder at the North Koreans. I'll make sure to throw over a few words about you guys too.

I would love to come to your place for New Years, Gin, but unfortunately I will be on a boat headed for China. With any luck it will be a nice boat, but if it's not I'll bring the fun. I'm going to china for two weeks. Bejing, Shanghai, some places in between, and (depending on stuff) perhaps hong kong. I'm going with two awesome people, so I think we are going to have an enjoyable time.

A funny story about Korea- Every Korean food is "wellbeing" aka. health food. Seriously, practically every lunch they tell me that what I'm eating is very healthy. The thing it- it's not always. The meat they have at samgyapsal places is VERY fatty. But, they think that if you eat onions with the meat it will cancel the bad stuff out. Same with kimchi- It's okay to eat fried Chicken because the Kimchi makes it healthy.

Plus, they eat A LOT here. As you know I don't eat like a bird, but I very frequently eat the smallest lunch.

So the question is- how the hell are they all size zeros?!

Besides genetics, I think it's because they actually follow the "a little of everything" diet. All the school lunches include soup, rice, kimchi, at least one other vegetable and some type of main dish. They have kimchi and rice and soup at home for dinner too.

Anyway, the other food thing that rules is side dishes automatically come with every meal in korea- and you can get free refils of everything.

That's all I've got for now- come visit me.
