"S. Korea falls silent as students sit key exam" - that's the headline from the Korea Headline. i was wondering why the streets were so dead last night. but what in blazes do 가로수길 and 논현동 and 강남역 nightlife have to do with high school students? the math doesn't make sense. tho for a country that tightly united, i guess any one national event correlates to another. so i assume that since the test is over. they will all be out destroying themselves tonight. and hopefully the ones i meet won't be too young. because...i regularly get random texts from girls age 20. which would typically be completely weird, and luckily still feels awkward, but it is completely normal and acceptable by EVERYONE in Asia which is why the 20 year olds are the aggressors even when they know my age. "eeeek"
since my departure from blackberry, i've been trying to hasten the learning curve into the world of apps, functions and proper smartphone usage. and the most recent development has been the introduction of the geo-dating apps like skout, iaround/遇見, momo／陌陌, hi there, say hi, we chat look around...and the list goes on. it's hard enough to handle the 4 chat programs i'm actively using, along with the social functions attached. now there's the geo-dating apps that require my copied and pasted profile alongside re-used profile picture...across the various geo apps that apply to the specific country/ethnicity that i'm in or just feel like talking to. i'm consistently using 3 languages, 4 phone chat programs, 4 geo apps that have me all confused as to what the heck im doing...
"how do you know when the girl is a hooker?"
"what is the obsession with giving online gifts?"
"you're not korean?"
"can you speak english?"
...
when i decide to finally meet someone in person...i'll update again.
