In a country where a woman with round blue eyes gets told that she’s beautiful on a semi-regular basis, the back handed compliments are hilarious. Today, for example:
Korean Friend: Do you date?
Me: (with deep concerns over where this is going) Ummmmmmmmm………..yeah.”
Korean Friend: You should improve your appearance. You know, wear make up. Fix your hair.
Me: ………..
Not a lot you can say to that. And it’s not like she was being mean. She was just telling me what she honestly thought I should do. I just think it’s funny.
In other news……I took over a class from a teacher who has left. I’ve taught the class a few times before, so the kids knew me. Here’s my favorite conversation of the week
Student: Teacher! You….teach…this class now….and next time….and next next time and next next next time?!
Me: Yes.
Student: (holding up his pinkie finger) Promise?
Yeah, that made my day.

So ignore the korean bitches.
Comment by qkslvrowlf 04/05/2007 @ 09:15No! They aren’t bitches! At least, they don’t mean to be!
Comment by franksparrow 04/05/2007 @ 09:41I find both anectdotes equally amusing.
So there.
Meanwhile, Scrubs just ended. Boooooo.
Comment by Mike 04/05/2007 @ 09:47Just so its clear…I just realized that the “bitches” thing probably came across far harsher than I had intended. I merely meant to ignore them in this one little thing that was inaccurate. Kind of like I often will say “feel free to ignore me, as I”m being a bitch”.
Hmm…yeah…oops…
