Chevrolet makes bikes??
So today I went back to church. Big shocker, right? I went with Charles who dropped me off at the English service while he went to the Korean service. Service was okay, though I can't say I liked it that much. This is the church I went to the first week where I had the nasty wine. They had communion this Sunday as well, though I declined. I was not about to choke down more nasty wine. On the way out I stayed for the after service fellowship, which contained bananas, cookies, and orange juice. (I swear, Koreans and their orange juice...)
On the way home I watched as a kid stopped on his bike, looked at it, and just chucked it into the bushes and then left with his girlfriend. I could not help but stare at him. I went over to the bike to investigate and saw that it had a flat tire. The kid left and I grabbed the bike, and now it's mine. I felt a little guilty, but the kid had obviously trashed it, and if I didn't pick it up someone else would. Anyway, I'm not sure if it just needs a new inner tube or what, but there's a bike shop I'm going to take it to sometime this week. I am super psyched since this means it'll only take me 10 minutes to get to the train station rather than the 15-20 minutes it normally takes. I've been wanting a bike since I got here, and it just conveniently happens to fall in my lap. How awesome is that? I'm also gonna have to get a lock and some flashers for riding at night.
Sometime this week or next I'm also going to open up an transfer account so I can send money home. I figure it's a better idea to watch the won daily and return money home whenever the won is strong rather than wait and get it to all go at the end. But, of course, I'll need my routing number and all that jazz, so it'll be a little while before I can get it all set up.
In the meantime I'll be riding my bike around town and trying to not run over little school children. XD
