SEOUL-THINGS I WON'T MISS









And then there are things I won't miss. At the top: Being reminded that I have blue eyes---"Uh, no shit?" The best: "HOW do you have blue eyes?"---"Well, ya see, a long time ago my mom met my dad...."

Others: My shathroom, the stench of my apartment, Soju, squatting to pee, ridiculous t-shirts that are misspelled, double barbershop poles (waygooks know what I'm talking about), trash/compost outside my window, Nowon Station, kimchi breath, wearing a face mask when I walk, certain SMOE teachers, stare downs, beat downs from adjummas and being asked if I'm Russian.

Ahhh much better...I think I'm ready to leave now.
