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.
Something strange is happening to me.
I realized today two big changes in me. First, I haven’t bought any electronic gadgets or equipment besides my phone, and I selected a modest phone for that matter. Second, my wardrobe has changed considerably.
I’ve thrown out all my computer joke shirts and ill fitting clothing (I had a lot -_-), and I’ve been buying a lot of new clothes. And not my normal clothes, well fitting, a wide range of colors, and I’m able to match the colors properly. I caught myself just today trying on several outfit combos at home to find something to wear tomorrow. Planning ahead, and with fashion, not exactly my style. Well, not until now, at least. I really enjoy it.
I’m actually wearing a tie by my own will tomorrow, because it looks awesome with my new button down shirt and leather belt.
