One month

A few short observations:
1. Korean people LOVE SPAM. I can't explain it, but it's everywhere in the supermarket. Though I think it's kind of weird/gross, I certainly can't judge, given the fact that I'd eat a block of velveeta every day if given the opportunity.

2. Old Korean people age really well. I've been in Jinju a month and still have yet to see a wheelchair bound person. Every day, I see scores of old folks in their 80's walking all over the place. No canes, no wheelchairs, no walkers to speak of. Today a woman who was probably at least 2000 years old walked up the steps on to the bus. Out of curiosity I also watched her as she got off the bus; she got around better than most 65 year olds in the US! Weird.

3. The time it takes me to spend $50 at the grocery store has decreased from 60 minutes to 10 minutes. It's good that I'm confident enough to now buy a lot more food wise, but also.... not good, haha. I just spend more.

4. Today was my first day using a cell phone in a month. I grew so used to not having a phone, and I liked it. I kind of don't want one, but I do need it for emergencies I guess.... It was pretty refreshing for a while to not be looking at my phone every 20 minutes.

Lantern festival tomorrow!!!!! Woop!!!
