Once again my Western appearance caused a disruption in class today. Jenny got that look in her eyes; I kept trying to brush her off and continue with the lesson, but she wasn’t having it. She’s obsessed. Anyways, she and the rest of the class were fascinated that my eyes could be both green and brown. Who knew hazel eyes were such a phenomena?...The other day one of the Korean teachers, Julia, told me Mr. Lee(head guy/principal of my school)’s wife thinks I look like Elizabeth Taylor (Hopefully the younger version). Julia said, “She thinks you are very pretty…Oh, and so do I, I do, I do too!” This being said on a day I rolled out of bed and grabbed for the nearest hoody. Sweet Julia.
I didn’t go to Yuseong spring today. I may have chickened out a little, but honestly I was feeling pretty rough and just wanted to lay in bed and watch Weeds for the rest of the afternoon. My voice sounds awful. The Korean teachers were worried and concerned about me when they heard me talk, my director is bringing some magic medicine tomorrow, and the kids thought it was absolutely hilarious, especially when I said, “Elizabeth teacher sounds like an old man.”
I went with Tori tonight to throw clay, but the place has been shut down. Instead we went to Oon Hang Dong, my favorite downtown area, and hit up S., an amazing art store, for Christmas decorations.
These animal hats are the latest craze, I think mainly with the younger audience...which is why Tori wants the alligator for Christmas.
Getting a little carried away with the Christmas crafts.
Interesting photo gallery in S.
Alice in Wonderland? I look like a giant with the low ceilings and little tree.

I'm glad you got a tree, even if it is a miniature! It's actually bigger than mine so you're not doing too bad! Miss chatting with you, especially with your new sexy voice. :)
What's this about getting naked with the old Korean ladies?
Have a great week and feel better soon! Mags says HI!
Although ramen and noodles are abundant in Korea, I now realize that my blog name would be more accurate if it was "the real rice" or "the real kimchi" or even "the real soju," but those names don't roll off the tongue quite as nicely as "the real ramen," now do they?
