Fun things that happen in Korea (Part 1)

I wanted to make a post that lists all the fun things that have happened since I came to Korea. By fun I mean either very annoying or just weird. There might be a few of these posts so I called this one "part 1".

The first fun thing was when I was having breakfast at orientation. It was a buffet breakfast so I grabbed some cereal, a piece of toast, some jam and an apple prima (fruit box). I sat down and started with some cereal, then a bite of toast then a sip of.....yuck....what is this? I took another look at my apple drink and saw that it was not actually apple. The box is green and it is served with breakfast. But this juice was definitely not apple. Oh no no. This was bean juice. Yes, BEAN JUICE. I'm not sure you have ever tasted the juice which comes from a bean. I sure hadn't. If you get the chance, DON"T try it.

On another day, Loren and I went for our first shop to buy the essential house products for our new apartment. We bought dish washing detergent, toilet paper, laundry liquid, milk, bread, etc. On our way to the checkout we ran into another Australian teacher we knew from orientation. He was with his Korean Co-teacher who was taking him to buy the essential home goods like us. We showed the co-teacher our items to see if they were the best/cheapest things to buy. To our surprise we found that they weren't what we thought they were. We were going to wash our clothes with dish washing liquid and wash our dishes with toilet cleaner! It's a good thing he was there or we might have got very sick.
