where did all the hair go?

i have undergone my first korean salon experience.  one of my students took me to a place near ewha women's uni.  i adore this student and reckon that we will become close friends very quickly.  i put my hair into her hands.  and it went surprisingly well.  it is a tad short, which will take a bit of getting used to, but it is hair and it will grow back.  the girls who colored and cut my hair certainly were no bradleys, but at 40,000 won for a cut and color (and no tip!  you don't tip for hair here, woohoo!), i mustn't complain.

rachel and i made our way around a freezing cold ewha, stopping for seafood dakpokki and then opting to forgo the chilly weather for hot chocolate and sweet potato lattes.  i adore rachel.  we walked along, arm-in-arm.  i am turning korean.  i would never walk arm-in-arm with my girlfriends in america, but here, everyone does it.  

i stopped by school on my way home.  ill be getting eight to ten hours of overtime during the week, and probably another four on saturdays.  that lancel bag will be mine come january.

(look, i actually found a show in korea that will fit me!)
