We are really starting to settle into our routines here, and today, I actually kind of craved kimchi (weird). We feel like we can stick this out, even though there are some interesting circumstances at work at the moment…

With that said, I still have never in my life been so challenged to decide what kind of person I will be. Several times daily I consciously ask myself, “Will this situation/comment/action make me a more compassionate, understanding person, or will I just be impatient and angry?” I won’t even pretend that I always take the high road.

As for humor, we laugh at the little things. And we came upon a little T-shirt thing the other day that we just had to share. Some Americans got together and started this company called Babo Shirts (Babo = stupid in Korean) where they sell T-shirts with slogans that are hilarious to expats in Korea.

For example, one shirt reads “Im a Englishee Teecher.” We actually do hear Englishee a lot.

Another has a picture of a taxi, and it reads “Korean Street Racing because often you feel you just may die on your taxi ride home.
