미니 ("mini," a Konglish word, pronounced "meenee")

After a brief bout of somewhat intense culture shock yesterday (Friday), I woke up this morning and went to Gwangju for my weekly Korean lesson. I had a great day and fell back in love with my Korea.

My favourite moment of the day: The man who sold me my winter boots did the "Wild and Crazy Guys" dance in response to me confirming that I was an English teacher, saying the fit was "good" in Korean, and again when I paid for the boots.

How you be so damn cute, Korea?!

And no, Grandma, this totally doesn't count as a real update.
