So, I have come to realize that Korea is the land of the not quite right.  Everything just seems to be a little off.  Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining.  I really love it here; things are just a little different.  I believe the language barrier is most of the problem.  And speaking of language barrier, I started Hongul classes last night.  I think learning the language might be a little easier to learn than I had anticipated.  Back to the not quite right, first of all forget about "lefty Lucy, righty tighty" it is opposite here.  Righty Lucy, lefty tighty....just doesn't ring right, but that is Korea for you.  I have discovered most things have to be done at minimum 2 times before they are right.  Like our furniture, when they delivered our furniture, they delivered twin beds instead of bunk beds.  I thought this was going to be a problem when I signed up for it, and tried very hard to let them know I wanted bunk beds.  I think I will get the bunk beds today.  Another thing is our phone/internet service.  The phone has tons of static in it.  I called for a work order, the service man came out and told me it was because I was using the internet and phone at the same time.  This is Korea, they are more technically advanced than most places, so I know this should not be a problem.  The internet guy is coming today to put in something so I can use both the internet and the phone at the same time.  

Remember when I was taking about patience before?  I am learning.

Another thing I'm confused about! What does the lefty righty thing mean? I've never heard of that expression before! And, maybe they don't multitask. Either talk on the phone or use the internet, it's like dial up. Same thing with the bunkbeds. Multitasking.... the idea of bunkbeds is the art of saving space by putting two beds on top of each other. I really love your hair by the way, I too, thought spouse was with another spouse, meaning not you!!!! Love ya and miss ya!!

Your mom never taught you "lefty Lucy, or Loosey, righty tighty"? How do you ever unscrew anything? You turn to the left to loosen, to the right to tighten....really, are you just now hearing this for the first time?
My phone and internet are working beautifully together now. Now getting vonage to work is our next task at hand.
