Last weekend was very interesting. It started with me heading to Ansan to say goodbye to a friend who was going back home. While on the train a Korean guy touched me inappropriately a few times. Normally a person like this would walk away without a hand... but I didn't realize what was happening till he was getting off the train. The train was very crowded and he had a bag in his hand. He was holding onto on of the straps in the train as was I. I felt his hand brush up against my leg but I thought he was maybe adjusting his grip on his bag. But alas no. As more people got on I felt it again. So I moved away from him. But then more people got on and we were pushed closer together again. Finally there were less people on the train and I felt it again. This time I thought it was my headphones because the chord was long. But no. When I felt it higher up and towards my inner thigh I knew it was no mistake. I yelled "Excuse me !" at him and thankfully it was his stop he ran off the train never to be seen from again. I was shocked and livid never have I had an experience like this. Ughhh. I met my friends and we went for Indian food which was really good and spicy in Ansan.
Then I met another friend to go dancing in Itaewon. Itaewon is known for having aggressive men and they would not leave me alone. My friend Dani is used to it. She shuts them down before they even approach. But I guess I was fresh meat, having never hung out in Itaewon at night before. At first I was nice but then I did start getting rude. At one point I was hanging out with a guy friend and a man came up to me and asked me to dance while I was talking. I hugged my friend and said "Oh. No I'm with my boyfriend sorry." That still did not deter him. Another man even after getting the brush off continued to talk to me in between trying to pursue another woman!. But the most annoying was outside.
We were eating street food and talking to other foreigners when this man got out of a car and came up to me saying his friend in the car liked me and wanted to talk to me. I told him I was not interested and he should move on. He said
"He's been waiting a long time to speak to you."
to which i replied
"And he'll keep waiting because I'm not going to speak to him sorry."
With that he got back into the car. Finally when we were about to go home we went to flag down a cab he gets out of the car. As soon as he started walking to me I held out my hand and said
"You need to go." He insisted "My friend will take you home." I tell him firmly "I'm not getting in your car." (The car was black with dark tinted windows)
Then his friend rolls down the window as I am getting into the cab and says
"I just want to talk to you." I looked at him and said "I'm sorry but I don't want to talk to you and trying to scare me into talk to you is not going to work either."
While my friend was getting into the cab, 1st guy comes and is trying to close the door so we can't get in the cab.
"Oh we will take you don't worry."
My friend says.
"There are plenty of other girls in that club right there go get one of them."
1st guy looks at her like she's crazy and says.
"What makes you think I want another girl?"
Fed up I threatened to call the police just for him to leave me alone.
Ugh that was Friday.
Saturday was a BBQ it was fun but I got there late cause Dani couldn't decide what to wear. It was great to see everyone and talk about my new sewing endeavor and baking, then I discovered I was sitting in tar. Alllll on the back half of my butt. Great. The only thing to make that better was Krispy Kremes. The solution to all life's problems (unless your diabetic). So I went to Anyang with Tina to visit her bf at the bar. While there we met this really nice Korean girl. She's studying to be a manicurist. So she did Tina's nails and she gave me an amazing hand massage. We exchanged numbers and told her is she ever needs someone to practice giving manicures to I was all for it. Yay for free manicures!! After that I danced a little then went home.
Ohhhhh I forgot ok so while I was getting dressed for the bbq. Right out the shower the real estate agent came by. He knocked once and started unlocking the door despite my protest. I flew into the bathroom and locked the door just in time.
This is my new net book. I found it online and it was used. My current laptop is acting funky so I bought this one as a back up. It's like a baby laptop and I love it so far. I paid less than I would in the states for it and def. less than Korea. For some reason electronics are super expensive in Korea. But the best part about the laptop is it's an English version of the computer from America. Sweeeet!!!
These are this weeks nails. Don't ask me to do your nails cause for some reason I am terrible at doing other peoples nails I can only do my own.
Another thing I've picked up while in Korea(the other thing will have a post all it's own) is painting my nails and decorating them. I did these a couple weeks ago.

I have some fun interesting friends in Korea Tina whom you see in alot of my pictures is part Thai and she like me has her own fashion sense. Some of which involves some hats. A couple weekends ago she came to visit with Justin and we all modeled her hat and fan that the boys brought her from China.
