more fun with garbage!

dig this. so.... we had a hard time finding trash bags. what we hadn't thought of was where you put them when you actually throw them out. i just set ours next to some garbage by this restaurant next door. i guess that was wrong. while i was doing the dishes yesterday this woman, who i think may be our landlord, knocked on the door. she pointed to the area in the hall where i had temporarily set some of it, and then kind of gestured that "there's a different place to put your trash." i said "ok" and she left. she came back like ten minutes later. this time she gestured for me to come with her. she took me outside and grabbed some of the trash, told me to grab some, and then we headed up a hill. at the top of the hill is where you put the garbage. problem solved. she was very nice, and on the walk down the hill she held onto my arm for dear life (it's freakin slippery with all this ice on the ground). the whole time this was going on, the woman was talking to me in korean. i think it was pretty clear i couldn't understand her, but she kept on keeping on. pretty funny stuff. we're going to get some iced coffee at Paris Baguette (korean panera). happy trails.

the thing that really amazes me is that we all can do this blog thing, HOORAY for modern technology. i can't imagine drinking iced coffee in any temperature, YUCK!!! ....i'm thinking of reading a bit and then heading off to dreamland and it seems that you're just starting your day. it's weds. 9:01P.M. does the korean (panera) serve bagels??? have you found any candy shops yet???? i wanted to know what the people do when they need a haircut, do they cut their own, especially the women, how do they manage, i'm sure in the next few months you'll find out....take care, i'll be back.

korea? wow! i thought when you said east you were moving to the other side of old 63. hmm... no wonder why you had such a big party (with all the toy guns and fancy stuff). although couldn't you have gotten there easier by going west from here?
