When I emerged out of the building today the pregnant clouds, noticing my umbrella, decided not to bother, and then it got fairly warm.
Got a few grey hairs today trying to convey that while in Korea names are family name first, first name second, in the West it's the other way round: Christ Columbus, not Columbus Chris. You begin to realise how arbitrary just about everything is...what we consider good manners, good food, good ettiquete, good morals, good looks...when you;re immersed in a different culture.
The director kept wanting to speak to me and each time I misinterpreted that he was upset with something I was doing, and each time he was only trying to convey details about my apartment.
I went there after work and now that it is empty it looks really spacious. I intend to keep clutter out, and preserve the open-ness inside.
Had a nice dinner, pasta. Am organising two Korean guys for a double date with my colleagues. See how things go.
Am really tired so not gonna report anything else. Suffice it to say, good to have my own place now. Just need to get a nice desk and the odd pots and pans.
Will have to get some training sessions in this week too.
