Lunar New Year pt1

So I haven't posted anything for the last couple of days.  That's because nothing that significant has really happened.  Although that may be because the stuff I once founs so strange and baffeling are becoming a part of reality for me.  I do have a couple of things I wanted to comment on though, none of which go together in any real way, so the rest of this will be disjointed.

First of all, it's the lunar new year which is a three day holiday here in Korea and since it's attached to a weekend that's even better.  For the most part I am not planning to do anything, but in Friday I am going into Busan to meet some friends and staying over at a hotel so we can relax and not think about getting back until the next day. It should be fun.

I have noticed of late that people travelling through the coridoors of my school run everywhere.  At first I thought this was just one guy and that he was ecentric, but there are others that do it too.  I guess saying everyone is over the top but a significant amount.  Now I can understand why people might want to get back to their rooms since the corridoors are not heated, but even so it means that the smallest task must be done with great haste if the persist in running everywhere.  It doesn't really bother me it's just one of those things you notice here, btu can't really ask about it, so just sit back and watch it occur.

Pot noodles.  Now in Britain it is known as the student's way of life or it used to be, not sure about now.  They're cheap and easy and create very little mess, sorted.  I have never really been a fan, I much prefer to cook proper meals for myself, however here in Korea that has not really been an option, since implements are limited as are ingredients.  Also another factor is that sanwhiches that you can buy are fucking weird and pretty shitty and any made at home are made from crappy bastardised ingredients.  So I have found while I have been at work and to a lesser extent when at home that pot noodles are the way forward.  The ones here are not quite as bad as the ones at home.  But the startling thing is that they are not viewed in a negative light here in Korea.  I am not saying that people choose to eat them over a normal meal, but they will choose them over any other form of fast food.  I find it weird and for the most part can't stand the flavours, so I am left with a very limited option..but hey what are you going to do.  For now I am just experimenting with what's edible and what's not, eventually I'll have it down.

Oh and I have successfully attracted more attention with my kung fu, nothing much, but if I'm going to get stared at, I'd rather it was for that than just being the white minority.

Well not much to speak of I know, but that's all I wanted to say for now.  Night all.
