Korea to me, means many things... both good and bad, how should i sort them? oh yes, lets do it like this:
PROS's
- i can leave my purse and computer at a table outside a cafe and walk inside with great ease to grab my coffee
- when i speak in my broken korean, to a korean, i am either a)really really cute or b) really really smart
- dok bokke (a.k.a. bomb street food)
- people will let me into clubs w/ great ease (fa free) just because they aren't sure if i'm famous or not
- its easy to make friends with non-koreans because you know that you likely have nearly a whole lifestyle in common before "hello"
- the random people i meet who want to "practice their english" in a brief conversation with me.
- its easy to make friends with koreans since they are all about practicing their english
- cherry blossoms and the colors of fall
- watching the beautiful community that the people have here
- the public health care system
- the constant sound of loogies being hocked, and the necessary need to watch your every step to make sure that those loogies don't end up on your shoes-ies
- ordering a "chai latte" and getting a "latte" 50% of the time
- if you're not bite size, you're not the right size
- sickos that think i'm a russian prostitute
- the freezing winters and humid summers
- the public health care system
- not getting to have good conversations with strangers
its safe to say the pro's out weigh the cons... but now the golden question: should i stay or should i go now?

You have one week to decide.....good luck. :)
