Only in a Korean PC room would I be using a computer screen so big that I have to turn my head all the way to see the other side of the screen. I almost feel guilty just using it to update my blog. What can I say, I'm a screen waster.
Although they're kind of smoky, these PC rooms can be quite nice when the employees come around with little lattes for everyone. It's definitely a nice treat after a hard-fought blogging battle.
I'm sorry to tell you I have yet to visit a real Korean restuarant, so last night I had dinner at the nearby Pizza Hut. Koreans like pototaes on their pizza which is kind of a weird texture on pizza, but it's actually not bad at all. And from now on, I am always putting hot sauce on my pizza.
Probably the best thing about restaurants in Korea is the service. As soon as you walk in, they run to you . And when you're ready to order, or need anything, you hit a buzzer on the table and they come running. And since there's no tipping in Korea, this service is nothing short of amazing.
Today I went to Emart again to buy a few things. I've discovered just going to the store and walking around gives me a sense of normalcy in a very abnormal place. But slowly, life here in Korea is becoming more normal, more routine, and more enjoyable. And that horrific first night, along with working at Starbucks, is becoming nothing more than a memory.
