Your face look like you take bath in milk every day!
So, it's been a very eventful weekend. Firstly, Adam finds out about Ranger School, like, any hour now. So I'm trying to occupy my thoughts with other things, so I will write to you about my super eventful weekend! Friday night was not. I got off work and went to bed because it was a very long week and I was super tired. Saturday morning, woke up, had some quality time with me, did some yoga, made scrambled eggs, watched Gilmore Girls for hours, you know. Typical Saturday stuff. It was a gloomy day out and I wanted to get out of the apartment, so I messaged my friend Kate to see if she wanted to get together. She came to Ansan and we decided to go to the movie theatre on a whim to see if we could see an English speaking movie. There were a few playing, but at the time we were there, only one was about to start. It was G.I. Joe 2. Of course we were both into that, as well as our friends Jaclyn, Kade, and Michelle. I was just thrilled to be in a normal looking movie theatre! When we bought our tickets, we had to pick our seats on a screen before entering the theatre, (similar to when you go see a play at TPAC or something) so that part was odd. The theatre itself looked just like everything in America, and they even had POPCORN! It was so normal!!! We watched the movie, it having more meaning for me I think because I imagined all the guys on the screen to be Adam being awesome killing bad guys. Good movie, good experience. Of course after that we were all famished, so we headed to Ansan Station to eat at the Uzbekistan restaurant we are all so fond of. I had lamb kabobs of course and Kate and I had a beer to celebrate it being almost finished with Ranger School! As the dinner was coming to a close, we were greeted by a Korean man, in his forties, that stumbled in the door and asked if he could sit down with us. Clearly our friend had been having a pretty fun evening already, by the way he was slurring his words and staring at me without blinking. He took a strange liking to me from the moment he sat down, it was both equally flattering and creepy to hear the numerous comments coming from his drunken mouth. My favorite was by far the "I love you white skin. Your face look like you take bath in milk every day!" This occurred right before he showed us the montage of photos on his iphone, most of them pictures of flowers or jewelry, each time giving us a commentary, pointing to me and saying, "I love you, this I will give to you." or, "Before I meet you, I am sad. Now meeting you, I am happy." Needless to say, all of my dinner companions were rolling in laughter, also encouraging this strange man's affections for me. I was laughing too. Moral of the story is this: drunken korean men are super giving with their affections. Good times. After dinner, we went through the markets ( where I saw entire pig heads ready to be eaten, as well as skinned whole chickens, just hanging out) to get some fresh vegetables before heading home to rest up for our Easter Sunday hike through nature! That blog post will be out soon! Love you and prayers for my Ranger today! Happy Easter Bodes, Caseys, Martins and Clarks! Xox
