learning korean

i love learning korean. there are many reasons but here are a few:

today walking to work i passed a shoe repair stand. these are everywhere on the streets in case you break a heel. but only today after being here a year and 7 months i noticed its called "shoe hospital" i was so surprised and happy that i realized it i just had this big dumb smile on my face as i continued on my way.

yesterday at baskin robbins she asked me how many spoons i wanted with my cake. trying to prove my new korean skills i said "십"means ten. but as we had just learned the day before in class- i had neglected to study she looked at me smiled and said "열개" which is the other counting set of numbers.....needless to say i was only slightly saddened but more happy when i realized i knew what she was saying when she corrected me! yes! :)

2 points amber well....um, 2 points korea...haha :)

its the small things in life~!
