I'm a Bomber

-
Today was a good day. Heck, every day is a good day. Yes, I realize I've only been here 4 days. Hush now.

Brittany and I woke up and went down to Gwangali Beach. There are some cool sculptures dotting the coastline and of course, Brittany about peed her pants. We wandered and watched Korean children scream and run through the surf, and saw several old men lounging and fishing. Very relaxing. Then we found a tiny little restaurant off the main strip and ate incredible food. It was really only chicken and vegetables, but man do they work magic on it. Pleasant surprise since we were the only diners there.

Then I met my manager Jessica and her friend and they took me to my new flat! It's only a three minute walk from Brit's, which is fantastic. I took some pictures, but somehow I managed to bring everything in the world except my computer jack and since it died 4 hours after I got here, I can't load them yet. I realize this makes me a disappointment. Sorry. But the apartment is very small and cute. About the size of a bedroom, with a tiny kitchen and bathroom attached. I had to take pictures of all the surrounding buildings so I would be able to find it again. Sad, I know.

My Korean manager's friend, I forget her name, told me I had a sweet voice (I think she meant "high") and then told me she had some Korean gentleman in mind for me. We shall see how that pans out. Haha. I wandered around some, trying to make sure I could find my apartment from all sorts of directions, and ended up at a bus stop. 5 little old ladies stood there and I said hello to them. Then, the tiniest one approached me and handed me a mint. Kind of like a reward for a dog who has learned a new trick.

I also went to a grocery store today. Apparently we are NOT supposed to drink the water. So I bought some lemonade. And cereal. Considered buying a dust pan, but then thought, eh- enough time for that later. Said please instead of thank you. Sigh.

Spent the evening organizing my apartment and met Brittany for dinner. It was in the subway that I had my first experience with a bomber style toilet. As in, there's a hole in the floor that you squat over. I also had to buy toilet paper. I do believe I can now conquer the world.

Capped off the night with dinner and drinks in Seomyeon, a large, neon-lights crazy part of town that is bursting with energy. It sure has been great going to different parts of the city each night. Alright kids, more later.

Afternoon in La Calera

-

One weekend, my friend Corrie asked if I wanted to wander outside of Bogotá for an afternoon. The answer was a resounding YES and we found a bus headed to La Calera for about $1.50. It only took 45 minutes and the drive took us up and above Bogotá, so we had some really picturesque views. The fun, winding roads reminded me of moped-ing in Bali...guess I need a moped now :) Once we arrived in La Calera, a very small town, we wandered through the streets to the main plaza. Since it was a lazy Sunday, there were also many lazy locals taking advantage of the calm. We all lounged in park benches in the plaza and watched the kids play with a ball in the middle. It fairly oozed small town vibe. Corrie, smart gal that she is, picked La Calera for one main reason: the food. We found our way to some food stalls and ordered some picada (I wrote about this dish before from Montserrate ). Even though the idea was the same, it was a slightly different variety. For example, less intestines and m...

A New Life in Bogota

Here we are: my first week in Bogota! It all began with the flight, an easy, 5-hour direct flight from Atlanta. I even had a special guest to keep me company, a bobble head Rosie the Riveter! It was a going-away gift from my friend Sara, who told me it will remind me that YES, I can do it! I love it! I wonder where we will go together.... Now this is where it gets (more) interesting: At Georgia Tech, I had a student from Bogota (Natalia) who initially wanted me to stay with her family when I arrived. I thought that would be a bit much, so I turned it down. However, I did accept a ride from the airport because the plane would be arriving at 10:30pm. It was pretty funny to have Natalia’s mother, father, and older brother waiting for me with a sign that said “Kathleen!” I immediately realized how kind and generous they were, so I was not actually surprised when they just took me home with them. They were pretty much like “No, we’re your family now so you’re staying wi...

Museums of Shanghai

I needed out at some of the museums of Shanghai, so let me give you a little taste of what I learned! The Shanghai Museum was my first stop, and it was phenomenal. First, it was free! Good job, China! Second, it had artifacts from thousands of years of Chinese history. As an American, that's hard to fathom. Imagine walking through galleries full of bronze, sculpture, ancient coins, and calligraphy scrolls. Some of my favorite things included traditional Chinese paintings, which were often scenic views of famous places in China, exquisite jade molded in shapes that ranged from name prints to elaborate dragons, and the ceramics, which included beautiful vases and tea and China sets (go figure). Another cool room was filled with ethnic minority costumes from the past. I thought it was really great that China chose to honor all of the minority groups in this way, especially since China is not well known for treating them equally (ahem, Tibet). I spent about 2 hours here, and I could ...
