Differences Between Korean Girls and American Girls

1. Korean : they have non-creased eyelids. Many girls get plastic surgery to get creased eyelids.
Amercian : They don't understand the word, "double eyelids"

2. Korean : They really care their face. Many of them change their face to be more pretty.
American : Many girls want to get big boobs so they spent a lot of money to get bigger boobs.

3. Korean : They like to wear same clothing as their boyfriends which is called "couple clothing."
American : they think it is weird that a boyfriend and a girlfriend wear clothing which has the same patten.

4. Korean : In terms of sex, it is kind of taboo subject to talk to. Many do not want to talk about it that much caz they do not want to give others impression that they are those kind of girls. They, however, talk about it to their female friends.
American : When it comes to sex, they are more straightforward. They don't mind talking about sex with other people. Actually, it's kind of interesting topic to talk with guys.

5. Korean : They care about their weight a lot. So many think they are fat even though they are skinny from American's view point. But, funny thing is there are not many people working hard to lose their weight.
American : They less care about their weight than Korean girls. If somebody is called fat, she is gigantically fat from Korean's perspective. Many American girls also want to lose weight so many of them jog everyday from what I gather.

Happy April! This past month has really flown by. I have had to do 2 big presentations in the past month, so I have been keeping myself busy. I have done a lot of really fun things in March though. Thanks to Hugh, I have got to see a lot of Seoul that foreigners would not normally see. For example, a big part called Seoul Forrest that was really nice. I have also been to some great restaurants, 2 of which I was the first foreigner to ever come there. One was in my neighborhood and sold cow intestines that are prepared in front of you on a grill (like a lot of food here). Actually they were really good. Kind of tasted like bacon. I also got to eat some spicy Eel. The cool thing about eating eel is that the bones are so thin that you can just eat them and you hardly notice they are there. Anyway eel is a really soft fish. Tasty. So, I feel lucky I can try these things. Hmmm...what else. I went to a Korean salsa club with Hugh and Katie when she came up to visit me. It was this little place in the middle of nowhere that looked really scary from the outside. As I walked in though, I could tell this was not you average Korean hang out. There were women in little cocktail dresses and 3 inch heels, men with button down shits with their chest partially exposed, and everyone was dancing and having a good time. It was obvious we were probably the first foreigners in there. Hugh used to belong to a salsa group before he got too busy with school, so his whole group was there and they put on a performance for everyone in the club. Then there was a belly dancing performance following the salsa. Both were amazing and really fun to watch in a relaxed setting like that. A few guys from the group tried to teach me salsa, which was interesting (I was aweful) but fun. It's nice to be around someone who likes dance as much as I do :)
Hmmm...what else...went out for galbi (Korean BBQ) with teachers last night. Hip-hop is going really well, I feel myself getting better each week. I am happy everytime I go to the club and I can move better than before. As far as my recent sickness (that pretty much lasted the whole winter) I have been a lot better this past month. The doctor has me on super vitamines that are all natural immune system boosters. They were damn expensive ($45 for a bottle) but I haven't been sick since I have started taking them.
I also found out my best friend Mara Faust is getting married! That makes 2 of my best friends who are gettin' hitched and both of which I am the maid of honor for! AHHHH! I am sooo excited I love you Friends I will do my best not to kill you on you Bachlorette par-t.
So that's March in a nutshell! I just found out my cousin is probably coming to visit! I am GEEKED!
