they call me radish

I like my ginseng shampoo’s tingly feeling but I am not a fan of the smell. Reminds me of the old people at my parents’ church. Almost used shower cleaner as body wash—thank you basic Korean reading skills. Still not sure which is my laundry detergent…but I’ll get to that later.

At my uncle and aunt’s house in Suwon—a satellite city an hour away from my apt. Trying to study up some grammar skills but I am distracted by their two dogs.  I practice most of my Korean with them (“no!”/”come here!”/”don’t do that”/”you’re so cute”).

At any moment, I fully expect to freak out but right now I’m too dazed and distracted to realize that I won’t be going home for a year. Also, I am full of bakery treats.
