As our program comes to a close here in Chunceon, we have time to reflect on all that we've done, aka our language teachers give us a 4 hour final exam, all in Korean. Now, I know that this should be expected when taking a class of any kind, but I was almost certain that piece of paper Pitzer College gave me was a ticket to Finals Freedom unless willfully chosen by me and only me to enter into more schooling. But I guess I have to take a Korean Final before I give one.

The picture to the right is how we took part of the test. The class all sat outside while we had 10 minute interviews with the teacher. This was the hardest part. I found the reading and writing portion to be a breeze, and when I expressed this my teacher told me to stop laughing. I've never seriously been told to stop laughing. I was dumbfounded.

So I think I'm gonna go out tonight and get some "sam gyup sal" which is basically thick pieces of bacon fried up at your table. So all of you out there who know my eating habits, I bid you adieu, because quite frankly, this stuff is like crack.

This photo is a sign for one of my favorite places. They're all the same really, the signs I mean. Everywhere you go, you can find a cartoon animal of what you're about to eat. This one is unusual though. Normally they portray the pork as a happy-go-lucky Porky The Pig, who is unaware of the fact that any place willing to let a pig wallow has a motive worthy of a Law and Order episode.
