Aw, you guys..it's been forever since I posted! I miss blogging and lots of stuff has been happening, but I have been so busy! And when I'm not busy, I'm super tired (or lazy) and I just want to "take a rest." Korean people have the craziest work ethic I have ever seen so they don't really understand my need for resting. Which, in turn, makes me feel guilty about resting. Do I stop? No. I rested all day today. I took an epic 4 hour nap. But, I did feel guilty because my poor boyfriend (his title for all intents and purposes) had to work all day and then I made him drive me to the beach so I could take a rest there as well.
But yeah, about this work ethic. It's INTENSE. Koreans rarely take vacations and work crazy long hours. It's actually a tad depressing. I need to move to Europe where a six week vacation is the standard. Here, you get a week, two if you're lucky but absolutely not at the same time. More on that later.
It's World Cup time!! I really don't follow soccer any other time but I love the World Cup! I am excited to finally be in a country where they care about soccer! Too bad the games are at all kinds of crazy times. Korea's first game is at 7:00 am this Wednesday! Not really prime game watching time. I really hope they do well...it would be so fun to be a part of that. Of course I always root for the US as well, but that's not as fun. Especially since the US doesn't have organized chants, an awesome nickname (like the Red Devils) and a fantastic war cry....FIGHTING! That is actually what they say all the time, not just for soccer. It basically means you can do it! Koreans say it more like "whiteing," which just makes it even more fantastic.
I have been a little upset with Korea these past few weeks but I am going to out that aside for the World Cup, enjoy the beach and keep on "Fighting!"
Dream big people!
