it's so hard to deal with banks and money while you're overseas
especially when hardly anyone speaks your language
this past weekend was insane
saturday night- lost my jacket and cellphone, drank too much beer, smoked too much hookah, danced for so long my legs were sore, sang so loud my voice was hoarse... managed to make it back on post and back to my room alone
sunday- kalb woke me up because he had my cellphone, thank god...
went to seoul with some friends
we took the train/subway
seoul is like the nyc of korea
the subways in seoul are very crowded
it's insane and if you're lucky enough to get a seat, you usually end up with some creepy old korean guy asleep on your shoulder
the streets aren't much better
i guess i wouldn't be so bad except that korean people eat this stuff called kimchi:
it like seeps out of their pores and makes them all smell terrible.
either way, i didn't have any money because my bank hates me or something like that... so i couldn't even buy stuff. they have a forever 21 though. that was exciting.
at one of the main intersections, there were these two korean girls holding 'free hugs' signs... they said this in both english and korean. my friend and i asked if we could borrow these signs. the koreans went crazy. i think i had 28932498 pictures taken of me and i got even more hugs!
on the subway ride home, i asked a korean boy, who must have only been 16 for his cell phone number, he gave it to me even though he didn't know any english. it was exciting for both of us. i was very worn out, seoul is about a hour train ride from where i live. a hour is too long to just sit and think so i ended up realizing how much i missed my boyfriend so i had my friend buy me lots of icecream and milkis
they taste a lot like cream soda
so yesterday was monday, i worked for two hours. in those two hours, i swam 300m and had to rescue a 10 lb weight. this means i get to start lifegaurd training. i didn't have to work today, so i tried to fix things with my bank and money... however, i just complicated things more by opening a new bank account here that i apparently can't even transfer money to so now i have to go close that account... the one i just opened. ugh.
i miss florida. i miss the beach. i miss my friends.
i miss zak. i miss him licking my tears away like a puppy dog when i'd get homesick.
he'll be here saturday, it will have been 3 weeks since i have seen him, then he'll be gone for another 2 weeks. it's almost like a tease. it's not fair. -_-
