Today I was reminded of a conversation I once had with a German professor of mine about women in shorty shorts and how you really must have the right legs to pull those off. Why was I reminded of this? Well, seems like the fashion for women here in Korea is to wear super short shorts (which in my opinion, would be considered slutty in the U.S.) then again I am in Korea. I must say though, that I do think Asian women pull of this shorty short fashion rather well, for they have a naturally small frame and thin legs.
On another note : this Friday and Monday we don't have school because Koreans celebrate chusoeuk (not sure how to spell in English) It is like the American thanksgiving and people go home to their families, and they give each other gifts and have a big feast. Of course, for married women this is not such a fun holiday because they get to do all the cooking and serve to the guests. :-( Oh well, such is life.
AMAZED: ok, so yesterday I went to lunch with the 1st grade English teachers with whom I am going to be working this next year. What was I shocked about??? the amount of food this tiny Korean women can eat! They had brought out about ummm...3 main plates and 8 different side dishes and I was seriously about to be done and I though the other teachers were getting full as well when to my surprise..... i realized they were waiting for the second round! Two women came over to our table, cleared all the plates and then put another 6 or 7 plates of food on the table. I just thought to myself "are you kidding me...!" So I proceeded to eat some more until seriously I could not eat any more. Amazing how much food can fit into those little Korean women.
