wonderment

No news as yet. I emailed another lady, an American missionary who’s the secretary of our host and she hasn’t a clue too. One good piece of advice she did give: Just remember to be flexible. *stretches arms and legs, cracks neck muscle* Hookay.

CL and I covered Pagoda Street at Chinatown yesterday looking for stuff to buy for our hosts and we realised that actually the things at Chinatown ain’t all that expensive and cheena-fied. In fact, we got lost in a couple of shops looking for our own things. Of course you’ve got rows of shops selling basically the same cheesy souvenirs “3 for $10 ah Miss, very cheap ah!” and a whole bunch of students everywhere selling flags, it was an interesting experience to be in Chinatown on a Friday afternoon, acting like a tourist, but also feeling right at home.

I’m packing right now while watching the weather news. Seoul is at a low of -1C and a high of 8C. 0.o. I’m bringing lots of socks, stockings, thermal underwear and camisoles. I’ve been looking everywhere for a thicker pair of pants that could double up as formal wear but the closest I got was a pair of cordroy-material pants which don’t look even half formal. I wouldn’t blame the shops for not carrying thicker material because who’d wear them?? Will be bringing my flimsy dresspants but let’s just hope I don’t become a walking popsicle.
