Korean Everydayness: Dental Hygiene

I can't believe I haven't written about this yet. Koreans and their love affair with toothbrushes: it's one of the strangest things about living here. That's not to say their teeth are any better-looking than Americans' on average, because they're about the same. It's just that Koreans spend so much TIME brushing their teeth... loudly. And in public. Often.

100% Sure I'm Going to CA

This blog will no longer be about my life in Korea after December this year because I won't be here anymore. I never heard from the company I had the interview with, and maybe it's for the best. If they had failed to get me a visa as well, I would be crushed and would end up going back to the US with less than what I have now- which is nothing.

Just thought you might like to know. Now back to blog titles... Kristin's Korean Life?

70% Sure

I haven't heard from the company I interviewed with last Friday. I told the CEO I needed to know by the first of November so there's still a slim chance but he said he'd get in touch by the end of this past week. Hence the title: I'm 70% sure I'm going back to the US at the beginning of December. I will post again on or after November first.

Actually, I'm a bit relieved. The choice has, for all intents and purposes, been made. I have come up with a creative way to try to sell all my things at prices that can actually help me. I have started making a mental list of everything I have to do. Get a new tenant and notify the landlord and pay associated fees but get my security deposit back. Cancel my cell phone contract and pay the rest on my phone. Pay back my friend who used to be my landlord for back utilities and security fees. Etc.

I already have a headache.
