I stuck my finger in a socket.

This is what happens in Taiwan: You get new clothes, and you get new hair.

Holy Crap I Love California



I found 菱角 in a supermarket. I don't know how to say that in English. But PEOPLE. It's 菱角.

They weren't that good...but still...I'm very impressed.

We Made a Korean Drama

So for our Korean presentation, me and my roommate and a third group member from our class spoofed Korean dramas with a short 4-minute video.

Here's the basic plot, for those who don't speak Korean:
My roommate is the protagonist, Lee Mi-kyeung. She is an orphan with no money. She falls in love with me. I'm a doctor named Lee Chul-Soo. There's another doctor who's in love with me, named Hang Kan-na, so of course she hates Lee Mi-kyeung. However, Mi-kyeung turns out to be Chul-Soo's younger sister. Then...there's another twist that is decently subtitled, so I will leave it at that.

Also: "oppa" means "older brother," but girls also call their boyfriends "oppa."
