Easter weirdness
Today was odd. Not that I haven’t seen weird stuff in Korea, most of it just rolls off my back now, but some of the little things are still just a bit off.
Today, I went to Suwon to check out the shopping center in Suwon station. I had the best Okonomiyaki I’ve ever had there, by the way, it was squid okonomiyaki and it was delicious.
On my way back home, I stopped at a skin store to pick up some face lotions, and started on my way home. I noticed a lot of groups of old, well-dressed people wandering the streets. Again, seen it, not a big deal. At one point, I come to a corner, and turn it to run into one of the bigger groups, out of which a young woman pops out and greets me with “Hi! Jesus I love you.”, and then hands me a single egg. One of the men in the group then snapped a picture of me looking at an egg with the most WTF?! look ever on my face.
I figured it out in a few seconds. Today is easter, so that explained the egg. The “Jesus I love you” was easy too. Koreans have difficulty with third person statements, so they often just say a name and then speak for that person to get the idea across, so obviously, Jesus loves you. She also gave me a pamphlet in Korean with a little stick figure guy being chased by directional arrows, and a cutesy anime Jesus.
Also, the lotion shop gave me free skin whitening cream.
