Culture

I woke up much earlier than I had planned to today and decided to get up and walk to Isu and do some grocery shopping. It is really hot outside but a nice day for a walk non the less. Usually older Korean women give me strange or angry looks and it is something I've gotten used to..but today I was pleasantly suprised. When I was next in line at the cash to pay an older lady came with only a carton of milk..I had tons of stuff so I told her she could go ahead of me. She made a little bit of a public display of what a kind foreigner I was and actually gave me the biggest bear hug ever! I love when people are sweet and kind as opposed to hateful towards me because I'm white. Now I've got a ton of groceries I'm going to cook some Greek food tonight and chillax and enjoy my aircon!
