Can I tell you how much I hate mosquitos? I usually feel that everything on Earth serves some sort of purpose, even if I don't like it. Mosquitos on the other hand, seem to serve no purpose other than causing me pain and insanity. I don't know how they get in here, I'm on the 13th freaking floor! That height would be like a human traveling into space. The only way I can even imagine they get in here is through the tiny spaces in my rather poorly shutting windows. And I swear, they always wait until I am falling asleep, and they buzz right past my ear! It completely freaks me out and I jolt up. I have to turn on the light (much to Dexter's disapproval) and try to find the little bastard. And of course, I can't find my slipper to hit him with, and of course when I go in for the blow he escapes. When they fly away it's like they have some sort of stealth mode, one second I see it, the next it's gone! When I go to sleep I try to cover myself as much as possible, but it makes no difference, they still get me. And in the strangest/most uncomfortable places; the top of my foot is also a favorite choice of theirs, the back of my thighs, it's all fair game. So as soon as I see one I have to go after it. It's disgusting, but you can tell which ones have been around the longest, because when I hit them there's just a huge blood spot left behind :|

In my latest adventures in food (an adventure that actually started some weeks ago) Gimbap (김밥) is quickly becoming my favorite food. It looks similar to Japanese sushi rolls, but they are quiet different. While sushi has rice and raw fish, Gimbap usually has vegetables, crab, some form of meat like ham, radish, etc. There are different types of Gimbap as well; vegetable gimbap, tuna gimbap, cheese gimbap, kimchi gimbap. You can get gimbap with virtually anything in it. And the best part is the cost. An entire roll of gimbap (this one is tuna) is only about ₩2,000! Cheap and delicious is basically how I run my life. There is a good gimbap place right by school, and in one of the grocery stores on the way home, so I can pick up a meal where ever. Often on days when I have to work until 7:30 I'll stop and get one during lunch and have it for dinner during class so I'm not starving by the time I leave.

If you've seen the pictures of my shower, you realize that the bathroom and the shower are the same thing, so there's no ledge or anything to put my foot on if I want to shave my legs. Quiet annoying. I could use the toilet seat, but since all my bathroom stuff is over in the direction, I could probably just get everything soaking wet. Today I learned the hard way that using the sink as a foot rest is not the best idea. Although it's the perfect height, the porcelain-esque sink is extremely slippery when wet. As I was shaving my foot slipped, I bashed my toe against the mirror, and or course gave myself a nasty gash. Way to go, Colleen.

I found a great website to buy cat supplies for Dexter, it's called Gmarket. A lot of the website is translated into English thankfully, but it's still a little hard to understand. You're given a type of item (let's say animal carriers) that all start at one defined price. So you click on one, and there are multiple different styles and colors within that item. And under the drop menu are the specific styles/color with additional prices on them. So if you see a list of items that are ₩13,000, you have to look in the drop down menu, find the name of the item (which of course is in Korean) then find that item in the pictures, and make sure it's the one you want. Of course if I could read Hangul, it would be much easier. But they have everything you can imagine, cat toys, litter, food, snacks, shampoos. And the website isn't just for pet stuff, they have everything you can imagine. I think it's like Amazon for Korea. I desperately need to get him a carrier, because I still need to go to the vet and get his vaccinations, but I have no way of getting him there. All I have is a cardboard box, and I would feel extremely awkward walking down the streets of South Korea with a cardboard box that meows. I think I found a decent one though, they are mostly dog carriers, so I had to make sure I got one that seals all the way since I don't think Dexter would have the self discipline to stick only his head out. And Grace is going to help me order everything which is great.

Speaking of Dexter, I got him some new toys today, so here are a few videos of him playing.
