Because Nothing Says “Yummy Cookie” like “Mongol Invasion”
Here’s a commercial for my new favorite snack. I think the non-chocolate variety is available in the States as “Digestives”. The same company also makes a donut snack called Doctor You. I love that. It makes donuts sound healthy.
In other news, the old woman ninja invited me into her house. She was in her yard beating uprooted plants with a stick (a not uncommon practice here in Andeok) and made some gestures indicating she wanted to give me some food.
I’m not really in the habit of following old women into their houses in order to be fed. I mean, I’ve read Hansel & Gretel. But I appreciate the number of people who talk to me while knowing full well that I understand less than two dozen words of Korean. I appreciate it because I then feel fine speaking in English fully aware that they don’t understand me, but somehow we communicate and have a conversation. It’s like in Ghost Dog where Forest Whitaker and his ice cream selling buddy speak different languages but talk to each other all the time.
Anyway she gave me a couple of cabbages, and then yelled at some of my students for stealing sticks off her lawn.
