So today was an early one...... WAY too early as i almost fell asleep mid lesson.. but i'm getting ahead of myself.....
so got up super early to head to school and meet with the finance fella so i could become an OFFICIAL alien of Korea.
So after some delay we finally head off to the place. This place call Omokgyo in total about an hour's travel all the way to the actual Immigration office.
Short and narrow is that i couldn't get registered cos i need to have a medical exam done on me ( which can only take place on M-F 130-4pm... don't ask me why cos i don't have any idea.... it's .. just cos.
Now this obviously didn't make me happy at all.. infact i was pretty pissed off... but being in front of Ryu who i didn't know too well i didn't say much.
Interstingly enough Ryu had no such restraint (we'd talked a lot on the subway to the place and got along quite well he's such a cack).. and having gotten out of the office we stood at the traffic light waiting to cross and he's just loking around and finally says...
****swearing ahead*****
"fuck shit damn"
now i didn't comment on this till a while later when we were about to get back on the train...
During the ride back he was saying that he'd teach the kids except that the only thing that he would teach them would be
"F*"
"S*"
"D*"
:P lol i found this hilarious coming from a guy who has such an accent on his english... his swearing is impeccable :P hahahaha.
So the converstaion progressed and i was commenting on the similarities between Chinese and korean... and all this guy had to say was
"damn... there's some many ways to say the same word and they all mean something different... like FUCK" :P hahahaha
this i also found hilarious : p (if you don't .. then you're stupid.)
anyhoo s*** f***ing aside.
today was pretty good, nothing overly strenuous at work today.... most of the kids were fairly well behaved.
hehe.. i got this kid who wasn't there earlier this week in today.. so i asked wha this name was.....
his name was...........
Big.....
yup ... his parents chose BIG as his english name... i don't konw why... he's not ever that big... but yeah.. i found this kinda funny .. i'm sure you Satc fans out there will also find "mr big" here quite funny :P
SO apart from this not much happened.... whilst on the train Ryu tried to teach me some korean which i'd like to think i pronounce pretty okay.
So anyhoo.. emboldened by some of this newfound knowledge i went to the stores next to the school and went to the meat counter and had a browse and when the attendent came out i proudly and boldy said..
"igo juseyo"
he said " ahhh"
and as i'm paying for the meat .. the old fella was really making me pay for it by unleashing an ego diminishing stream of Korean at me to which i could only stammer out "eeerrr umm.... hangul.... aniyo" ...... which puzzled him even more so he asked me even MORE stuff.....
i finally said "yongyo" (english) which left him grunting :S
So ... my enormous ego only slightly bruised by the ordeal i went in search for soy sauce... and i knew where i could find some but i was looking for a smaller bottle so iu walked up to the attendent and said
"kangjan chogun ch'akko issoyo"
but not so smoothly as she just looked at me and pointed where i was so i repeated "chogun" (becuase i knew where they were and i was looking for a smaller one so i just said "smaller")
so she came to help me... had a look and told me that that was the only size ( i knew what she said cos of her body language....
but yeah anyway so that's been my day today... both eventful and utterly boring at the same time.
so, i should be getting internet at my house on tuesday... the plan tells me i'm capped at 100mb for downloads and 60mg for upload....
now i spoke to my darling girl about the whole thing and being my girly she agreed with me.... that that size limit is ridiculously small..... that was until i looked up some facts on the internet and found out that those numbers aren't download limits... they're donload SPEED limits.
so i'm paying for a connection that allows me to download files at a maximum of 60mg per second...... that and cable tv.. for .... 30k won a week. so about... 40-50 $ a month?
who wouldn't pay that eh? :P
