God Bless the Korean Men... Tuesday, December 20

Next week I’ll be MIA from Cheonan and from the Internet on account that I’ve taken a position at a four and a half day English camp. It’s being hosted at the SK Telecom training resort which is quite a beautiful resort but, because of security reasons, there’s absolutely no Internet access. I question if I’m even able to bring my phone. I remember back when I tutored at Samsung, they’d put a security picture on my cell camera and check to see if it’s been tampered with whenever I left.

So ya, next week I’ll be preoccupied. It’s a toss-up on who will miss me more, Pyen Chi or Snickers… hahaha. My coach said he’ll miss me the most.

Today I had a training session as a means of prep for the camp. Yesterday I had training too although yesterday seemed more like a test of my patience if anything. The directions they gave me were rather sketchy in that the hospital they said their building was beside, well, turns out on the other side of Seoul there’s another hospital with the same name and it being quite big meant the taxi driver who picked me up after I arrived in Seoul took me there. It took me three hours to get to where I was supposed to be, not cool.

I thought I’d simply slip into the meeting via the back door, no such luck. The room was packed with foreigners and Korean helpers but all the foreigners were guys. I was the only female foreigner with a F2 visa which just goes to show you the ratio of foreign men marrying Korean women vs. foreign women marrying Korean men!

I’m so pro-Korean men. They tend to be more sensitive, attentive to detail, and their definition of what it means to be a man is so different than that of Western men. They’re not afraid to show a softer side, hell they even wear pink and do so with not a second thought. They’re pretty… pretty gorgeous and their skin, wow, soft and smooth. I can’t believe they’re not butter;)

God, thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful men we call Korean men. It’s days like today when I absolutely love Korea. There’s just so much eye-candy (Korean men) everywhere I turn. I feel the cavities filling up my eyeballs… hahaha. All jokes aside, I do think Korean men are much more attractive than Western and European men -- beyond just physically. I’ve always had a flair for Asian men in general, a certain attraction and curiosity towards them, and I have absolutely no interest towards Western men. I have gone to the dark side -- black hair side that is... hahaha. I guess in a way, you know how most Westerns think Asians all look the same, well, most Western men look the same to me now… hahaha.

Silly, I know, but I love waking up every single day, opening my eyes and seeing my beautiful Korean man with his jet black hair all tossed about and his tiny eyes looking at me. I think Snickers is a stunning man and his child-like personality that accompanies his charming looks makes quite the amazing package. Sometimes I joke with him, telling him, “Open your eyes!”. My friends and family back in Canada always used to tease me about my small eyes so I guess I’ve met my match. We have small eyes together and I love the fact that when we both smile they seem to disappear into our rosey cheeks.
