Experiences!


Living in Korea has given me lots of new experiences, it's kind of hard to explain :/ I guess coming to korea with an open mind was the best thing to have done.
But Gash sometimes I can't even explain to myself the actual behavior of some Koreans. Sometimes it is just funny, but sometimes i just have to swallow and keep going.

Koreans don't say "excuse me" the push you out the door! get use to it!

Train Cases: Usually when you are on the train is kind of hard not to stare at someone unless you reading or watching TV in it. I wish i had a video to show the way people walks just to stare at me or us it depends, i have had uncomfortable times but funny ones too, like people walking sideways and bumping into people,things, just so they can take a good look at us, etc,lol.
There was this one time I was on the train with Nancy, (friend of mine) and this lady was staring at me the whole train ride, I waved at her and smiled. Nancy and I walked out of the train to transfer and the same lady fallowed us. Then she came up to me and held my hand and said "Thank you" in korean, I have no idea why she did such thing but it was quite unusual.(Gina said that she was thanking me for giving her the opportunity to see a foreigner) lol!

My 4th day in Korea and the counting begins!


I have been in the land of the morning calm Korea for 4 days now and honestly I like what I see. People stares at me I guess is rare to see foreigners here. Today someone asked me if I was Indian, and I guess is an honor to pass for another ethnicity but Hey! I'm Dominican and Damn proud of it, overall is good. This past Sunday I attended a ballet presentation in which I was able to see Korean traditional dance. The colors, costumes, body gestures, and music were very enchanting, interesting and I guess with this experience my interest for this culture begins.

Lectura! Reading!



So today i just got "The Prince" by Nicolas Maquiavelo. I read part of it when i was in Italy for an assignment, now is my turn to read the whole piece! I guess i can read it in the 17 hours of flight that i have ahead of me from NY to korea.

Hoy he recibido en el correo "El Arte del Poder" by Nicolas Maquiavelo. Habia leido parte del libro para una assignacion que tuve en Italia. Creo que podre leerlo en las 17 horas de vuelo que tendre de NY a Korea.
