I'm fine, thank you. And you?

I have been in Seoul now a little over 3 days, but it seems like longer. Hyunjoo has been working a lot, so usually I burn the candle at night so that I wake up in the afternoon closer to when she comes home. Yesterday while HJ was tutoring, her little sister took me out to get yogurt and we had a nice chat. Not much was said since she doesn't speak English that well, but it was definitely nice to spend time with her and get to talk to her. And today, while HJ was busy at Deutsche, her mom took me to eat korean food at the top of this department store that is apparently the 3rd largest store in Seoul. It was really good food, and her mom seemed intent on enjoying our meal over a combination of conversational pleasantries, small talk, and hard interrogation about my relationship with her daughter. In other words, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. But I really still like her mom a lot - she has been so nice to me while I've been here, and I honestly can understand her concern, or at least her misunderstanding, regarding me and HJ.

After that, I met up with Jung, who came to pick me up in a car driven by her "driver". She is the first friend of mine (that I know of) to actually have a chauffer. She then took me to, of all things, get a facial with her at this place called "Woo Skin". Now, before you laugh at me and tell me how gay I am, consider that there were definitely several other guys there too getting facials in a very non-gay kind of way. And i'm in korea visiting my girlfriend! Plus, I have had bad skin since I got here to Seoul, and also I have no idea what's going on whenever I go anywhere in this country, and was reduced to lying on a table while women poked at my pimples, applied chemicals to my face, and blasted me with lasers. And also consider that it was free and quite relaxing. Okay, now you may laugh at me and tell me how gay I am.

Tomorrow is HJ's last day of work. I have no idea what I'm going to be doing during the day, but I'm pretty sure it'll involve more time with her mom and more shopping at night. And maybe I'll go to Red Mango again (the best damn yogurt on the planet!).
