Wednesdays on the wire 18 Jan

Students too tired, adventures in cooking and how to pick up a Korean guy.  Here's what's been going on around me.

1.  Last week was the week of friend dates.  I met one girl on a friend date who explained that meeting friends in Korea almost as much of a crap shoot as finding a date.  Which, if one doesn't like the military, English teachers or Korean men, is almost impossible.

2.  In the middle of retightening my hair I stepped out for a few hours to go to an International party, which just reminded me of a college happy hour.  I met a nice girl and I was thinking, gee, did Santa give me my wish?  Am I going to get a Korean girlfriend? (not like that).  I'm not sure, but she was nice.

3.  One thing I did notice at the party, was how many Koreans did want to talk to me.  At first, I thought it was because I was so nice, but then I found out that no, it's because they think I'm cute.  So vain. Like when my students say they only listen to me because I'm beautiful and on the inside I am thinking, you aint' shit.

4.  I did notice something at this party.  Since the beginning of the New Year my friend S keeps hinting that I should get with a Korean man, and I met a girl who likes Korean very much.  She showed me how to pick up on one, which seemed to be very different than how to get a Western guy.  It was so foreign I was like damn, you need to make a youtube video on how to get a Korean guy.
