Now you might think me rude as I haven’t mentioned more than the fact that I am back in Busan teaching. Although I haven’t been back that long, I feel like I haven’t left. In fact, during the first days of my return, I have been insulted about my choice of clothing, my weight and my age. Imagine my response after having a few relaxing months away from this. Look what I missed! Wouldn’t you be delighted to return to constant criticism?
I snapped at one of my coworkers the other day, after she literally looked me up and down and said something critical to me. I hate hate hate the fact that Koreans are so straight forward about some things. I absolutely hate it. This is one cultural clash that I just can’t seem to accept.
