Little challenges..

Hey all,
So you definitely know you are in another country when you spend 10 minutes trying to figure out your washing machine and T-stat. (I took quite a few cold showers before I realized how to work the T-stat, since it is linked with the water.) I will have to say that I was a little spoiled in Chile by the fact that I could speak Spanish. Since I don't speak a lick of Korean, reading things is pretty much impossible. I am taking some classes to learn the alphabet, kinda funny actually: my Korean is at a much lower level than my 5 year olds' english.

I did finally make a couple trips on the subway system here. It is quite impressive and extremely massive. The good part is that it IS labeled in English... although I did manage to get stuck in it for about 20 minutes...... but you live and learn. One good thing that may come of this trip is that I may increase my cooking skills from 0 to 1.2. Since I don't particularly like the food it has resulted in me cooking most nights. I feel like in the 15 years I've lived with a Chef I should have picked up on something.. oops. Shopping is fun though, since I can't read any labels. Most of my shopping is based on pictures, if there's no picture.. I ain't buying it. I did manage to find an amazing pizza place 3 minutes walk from my place.... I've had pizza three times in the last week... dangerous.........
