The last couple days have been quite eventful. Yesterday, I went skiing at www.starhillresort.com or Mt.Cheonmasan Ski Resort. Although the resort was not big, never have I been at any place with so many people who look alike, I didn't realize until the last couple days perhaps how much I may stand out in the United States. Also while sitting on a ski lift with a stranger, made me realize how useless I am, all I could manage to respond when the stranger spoke to me was "I don't speak Korean" and upon further inquiry from his part I only said "miguk" while pointing to myself. Of course the conversation ended there.
Today I went to "Nameless Community Church" a very small and warm church. Never have I met so many people able to speak different languages. There were several Koreans, speaking very good Chinese, and another speaking French and some Spanish. Most of them spoke very good English also. Everyone was very kind and nice. Here I can practice my Korean, Chinese and English.
After church, I walked by Lotte World, you know seeing those pictures of Eddie on Facebook in Lotte World, I thought it was like Disney World where it was kind of secluded from the city, never did I realize it was in the middle of Seoul. After walking by Lotte World, we went to an underground market, I forgot what it was called, but one of the shops was Kyobo Bookstore.
Anyways, a more thoughtful post will come soon, just logging in what I did the last couple of days.
