More Randomness

I take the bus to and from work everyday. I really do enjoy the fact that I take public transportation, a very efficient public transportation. This was a shocking discovery of myself. As many of you know, I drive - a lot. I love to drive. I've driven all over the USA. To Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, New York, Texas, and Florida. I've always enjoyed driving. Since I've come to Korea, I haven't driven a single day and I can honestly say that I...well...I'm being honest, right? I miss driving. I miss jumping in my car and cranking up the radio, rolling down my window and sunroof and going where ever I want to go - however I want to get there. But I'm okay with not driving here because the transportation system is so utterly and completely efficient. I live about an 8 minute bus ride from my school - probably a 4-5 minute car ride. I have to be in my classroom at 8:30 so I leave my house about 8:00-8:05 every morning. I wait about 5-10 minutes for the bus and am always in my classroom before 8:30. I like the fact that I can go virtually anywhere as long as I know the bus/subway route. I don't have to rely on my car working, my insurance being paid and current, or having gas in the tank. All I need is money on my bus card and I'm good to go. I love that about Korea. 

Farmlands

Speaking of bus rides...riding home on the bus today, I swear that I saw the Asian version of Rambo. We live in the "country" instead of what is considered the "city". Which means we live in an area where there are actual farmlands where people grow the crops to sell in the market every week. This Asian Rambo was an elderly fellow but man was he ripped! Guess that is what happens when you work on a farm your whole life.

 Cass beer is currently numero uno although we haven't tried OB yet.

 Have I talked about the apple juice? Koreans have apple juice, just like Americans have apple juice, but it is unlike any apple juice I've ever seen. Our apple juice is that dark golden yellow and has been mixed with other types of juices to form some hybrid that is technically only 5% actual juice. Korean apple juice is just that. It's an apple that has been squeezed or squished for its juice. Just an apple. A carton full of actual apples juice. Tasty stuff that is.

You might be wondering why I have a picture of a random menu on this entry and the answer to that is...I have no idea. I don't remember why I took this picture. But hey, looks tasty!
