Tim gets promoted today to E3! woohoo for that!! =) On top of that, since he worked the night shift the last two nights he doesn't work today, Friday. So, we have a 3-day weekend starting, now!
He has a class at Camp Humphrey starting next Tuesday and will be gone for 11 days. He's supposed to have Monday off too because it is a Korean holiday but they may be leaving on Monday for the class. we're thinking of getting me a hotel on the base for the weekend he will be there because he won't be in class, Humphrey is in Seoul, so we want to do some exploring.
Work has been pretty good for him, he works in this thing called the hub, it's the central part of the communications network. I think there are about 7-8 select few that work in there with him, it's like the elite of communications I guess. I believe he enjoys it though, they just have to make sure everything is working so half the time they are sitting around playing video games or facebooking, until something breaks.
As for me, I'm just keeping up with things, housework's a lot harder when you don't have a dishwasher or a dryer.. our washer is very interesting, it washes then dehydrates so you have to hang dry everything, but when it dehydrates it makes everything super wrinkly!! It's pretty lame. Oh, did I mention I can't wait until we move!! =)
My next challenge is finding a beauty salon that speaks English =/ There are sooo many salons here!!(probably 100+ in our city) It's just hard to communicate with them to make sure they don't chop off all my hair! We've found so far that communicating is somewhat easy, whenever we've shopped we've been able to talk to the Koreans, a lot of the younger Korean generation knows English since they learn it in school now. Every once in awhile though we come across an older sales clerk that knows none and we have to point and they tell us how much by using a calculator. It's very interesting here, but we've managed to learn how to get around things... We may want to start learning more of their language though.
