2009.09.2nd

It's... Wednesday here at 9pm... i forgot what day it was when i woke up. Still a bit jet lagged. Same day,... wake up at 7am and exercise cuz i need to get in shape and kill time. Again, i have absolutely no idea what to do. This is my third time on the computer in 1 day, sad. I shower like 3 times, becuz, well i swet alot from walking around all day and its still warm here in Suwon. My blogs sound tireing, less lively because im tired by this time lol.
Today i tried learning korean again, but the physical activities drained me. I pretty much sat at the PC (internet cafe) all day and played the classical Diablo II came to kill time again... so sad. I had a feeling Kim would be at my house around 5pm, though we arranged to meet at 6... i trusted my instincts and she was waiting on the stairs for me. Again i made her wait 10 minutes, lol. I have to get a cell phone, but i gotta save my money until i get paid. Again she helped me out, but tonight i cooked her dinner because i appreciate her company. Its lonely when noone speaks english!!! Then we went for a walk cuz my house was getting hot (from the cooking, only). Went for a walk in the warm summer night, got ice cream and walked her to her bus stop and i went home. Boring day... but read the notes below, i learned more today.

Prices ranges
Today i went window shopping, im poor right now, saving my money and budgeting because i havent got paid yet. waiting for my housing allowance, reimbursment for plane ticket, and we'll see where work goes. I already want to buy so many things. For example, a video camera ( but im not going anywhere for a month or two until im really settled in, no point), a moped for fun ( i can take the bus though cus its dangerous and im screwed if i get into an accident, no license... ) Anyways... some prices are outragous... you can end up paying 20-40% more than other stores for the same thing here... theres quite a gap between the rich and poor/middle class. Like a cellphone was like 450,000krwon.. im not paying 4 bills for a cellphone for which i will only call one person who speaks english at the moment, kim. Makes no sense. A used moped could cost me like 800,000 to 3,000,000+krw... but again, its risky riding it and i gotta save first and send money home... rice cooker, 50k-300k krw... i dont eat much rice... but still need one cuz im asian. lol. (im tired). Grapes were like (6,500) 6 dollars a bunch, bwahahaha... bananas like 3,000.... outrageous. Water bottles are cheap, 2L are like 1,000 krwon. (1 dollar)

Stores
So i found more stores around my neighbourhood, ( i want to take pictures or videos, but i cant right now). Hair salon, pizza parlour, shoe/tailor store, more small ma and pop homemade-authentic-korean-restaurants... im pretty lucky to have everything in a 1 minute walkind distance... its unheard of in Canada. Imagine, u walk out ofyour house and you see 5 stores of the same kind, thats what i see everwhere when i take 5 steps in any directions. But its quiet too! I found out my apartment, on the 2nd floor is a karaoke bar, didnt know that! but i hear nothing... 2 feet cement walls i guess.

Eating out
So today, i took janet and harry's advice to try janjangyam... its ok... gave me a stomach ache... its noodles with brown sauce... (wheres the meat!!!)... i want pork bone soup badly... even rice. I prefer to cook my own food really, i like korean food, but not right now. Im gonna try getting pizza tomorrow lol...

I gotta blog earlier... i feel like my blogs could be lively'er... i cant spell right now either... geeze... need sleep. Going to bed... goodnight.
