Kimchi, not for me

So late Saturday night, as I was walking home from the PC room where I posted, I stopped at the 7-11 to get something to drink. I stood there in front of the refrigerated part, looking for something I wanted. And I found...nothing. There was a huge whole section of drinks that are good for you for many different reasons - some are vitamin C drinks, some ginseng, some barley, etc. etc. And as I was standing there in the 7-11, my eyes filled with tears. You know why? Partly, because I knew that if I was in the US, I could have found something I wanted. And partly because in roughly 15 days, I'm going to be in the States, and be absolutely overwhelmed. When I went home, I was just thinking about how strange it's all going to be. And I kid you not, just thinking about how easy and convenient it will be to go to Wal-Mart and shop, and all the things I'll see that I haven't seen and have wanted so badly for such a long time - I started to cry. Lest you think I've lost my mind or have gone absolutely over the top in drama, let me also share with you that today is the 2-year anniversary of my depature from the dear old USA. I've been gone for TWO YEARS. In the big picture, I know that's not long. But in the small picture of wanting to be able to function in my home culture and language, it's a LONG time. So I'm getting more and more excited.

And that's all for now. I tried to eat lunch at my job's cafeteria today, and the food was too hot or too squid. :) So I need to go get a snack. Later, yall!
