Multiple posts in One

I'm so not a diligent person, which I kinda regret. So I never post on my blog regularly and then I end up with multiple things to write about and then I have this inner debate about whether I should just make one huge blog with multiple pieces. Then I think that would be too much, so I consider just doing multiple blogs on the same day, which should be alright since its my blog. But it still feels like I'm breaking some kind of rule or just going over-board. And then I ask myself why I don't just keep up with my blog in the first place especially since I have so much I want to say. Finally I just say, "Oh well. I just can't help it". I'll just have multiple blogs for the day and multiple topics in each. And like the non-diligent person I am, I won't add the pictures until days later. Its terrible and true.

Stuff out here is so expensive for not that great of quality. I guess its because, and this is just my theory but I think its pretty accurate. Korea doesn't really get anything made in cheaper places like Thailand and China. Most stuff you buy here is made here. And they don't pay people like .40 cents a day. They pay them a real salary so we have to pay real prices. I hate to say it but the whole sweatshop thing really works for me. I like the bargains we get in the west. I saw a jacket that I liked about a month ago and lo and behold it cost a whopping 1,500,000 won. It wasn't that nice, come on. Seriously ridiculous. That's only about 700 USD at the moment but even that....Its ridiculous. All the ugly coats that you wouldn't want are like 400,000 won. I crack up when I see this. I tell the sales people come shop in the US so you can see what this is really worth. If I see one more plain turtle neck sweater for 50,000 won....

The public schools are so conservative...Korea is in general though. you don't see much skin besides legs, which are usually covered by leggings (I like this because I hate my legs). Not even a collar bone, yet alone the slightest bit of cleavage. I think It took me about a month to pick up on that. Everyone is covered to the neck, seriously. I wore a shirt that went a little below my collar bone and immediately had scarves thrown around my neck. I knew about the coverage issue so before I left home I pulled my tank top straps up as high as they would go. I thought I had it covered but once they saw that clavicle it was all over. I think Korea will make a lady of me for this reason and also because of the dirty floors.

Korea is really (and I'm not complaining...I am because I hate this but its just one of those things I guess) filthy. I walk down the streets and I cringe. Maybe I have some kind of issue (slight OCD) but it drives me crazy. The floors in the bathrooms are always wet and dirty. They don't clean the way I'm accustomed to. They just hose down the bathroom w/o cleaning products and the floor is just wet and people still walk in and out so its a wet floor turning black because of dirty shoes, so its more dirty. My pants are always too long so they touch the floor. I can't even explain how gross this makes me feel. Its not just the bathrooms but the streets as well. There is always trash and rotting fruit peels and the smell of sewage around. People spit all over and....ugh. Gross. We have the same situation in the US and everywhere else I'm sure but I've never seen a street like the ones here. Probably because I haven't been to NY. Anyway I know my pants are touching all these things so I've decided to invest in lots and lots of skirts. I NEVER wear skirts or dresses but yep Korea will make a lady of me I'm sure.
