The ticket has been booked!

Hooray! I am officially booked to get the HELL out of here, Yippee! Culture, tradition, and small Korean people here I come. Its funny you know, since I have decided to move to Korea every Asian person I see I wonder are they Korean and some I ask. I try to gain as much knowledge about this place I am going to call home for a while as I can. Sunday I went to to the beauty supply store (for those who don't know Korean dominates the black hair care market in America, which I think is funny and odd all at the same time but anyway...) I spent like $70 on hair crap. I talked to them about blacks in Korea and the part of Korea I was moving to...they were surprisingly impressed that I had did so much research, we spoke about the school I was going to be teaching at, they also let me know that the position I was taking on was really impressive by Korean standards. I think that is awesome that the teacher is looked at as a position of power and influence in Korea....we need to adopt that same attitude here.

those koreans weren't as small as you expected were they?
i was looking forward to being average height...so disappointing. i guess they only let the short ones in over here.
