Don't Drink The Water
So I've heard mixed opinions on drinking the tap water, but I think the overall opinion is not to do it. Not even Koreans will drink the tap water. I split a 2 pack of wine glasses with a friend last week, she's an avid wine drinker, and I just like having a nice glass, but when I poured some tap water into it, it was kind of white. I don't know if it's just a lot of air bubbles, or if there's really something in the water (if you let it sit, it will clear up), but I'll stick to spring water thank you very much.
My throat is back to normal, it doesn't hurt any more, and I didn't even have to take any medication. I do have some stuff for heartburn just in case it happens again, but I think I was either eating too much ice cream (milk tends to make me sick and my throat will hurt like that) or I was eating too much spicy food (I'm not used to eating a lot of spice). Either way, I feel a lot better, and I'm ready if it happens again!
We had a meeting at 1pm on Thursday which ended around 3pm, but I didn't have class until 7pm so I went to Homeplus for a little to kill some time. I ended up buying some more hangers, a pack of bagels, a tea pot, and an Alice in Wonderland mug. Here in Korea, they drink a lot of instant coffee that you get in tubes but the packets are for a smaller sized mug than what we're used to in America. I decided to buy a smaller mug specifically for coffee, and I have a larger mug that the owner of our school bought us. I'll use the larger one for tea and other drinks.
I left my small mug at work because that's where I tend to drink coffee, but the receptionist said they would be giving me a Chungdahm mug at the end of the Spring term so I'll bring it home then. She's also been letting me take 1/2 calorie coffee tubes from her secret stash so I don't have to feel as guilty when I drink a lot of them. They aren't that many calories to begin with, but the 1/2 calorie ones taste the same so why not? I'll be taking pictures of my new mug and my teapot later, I had to charge my camera and I'll be leaving for work soon.
T.G.I.F. and all that. I don't know what I'll be doing tonight, but hopefully it will involve lots of uninterrupted sleep! Korea has the hardest beds I've ever slept on, but surprisingly, I've never woken up with any back pain. I can't sleep on floors, but I can sleep on beds almost as hard as a carpeted floor. Who knew? The hotel we stayed at for training was very soft, but I think hotels are more Westernized.
