Pay day!!!

At last after 6 weeks of working, I have finally be paid. The first time in over 8 months!!!

However, they did not pay me enough.. ha I know no one is ever paid enough. But I was supposedly only paid for one month, they were 'keeping the other 9 days and would give it to me when I finish'. I have to check into this as Jo seems to think this is wrong. However even if I was paid for a month I am still about 300,000 short and I know that is not all tax/pension etc. I tried asking for my payslip but got pretty much blank stares from KM. I know I do have one as I asked the university directly previously to make sure I got one.

I had one of my first really really frustrating moments in South Korea. I have been here for 6 weeks,. I have been doing a good job, so please just pay me what you owe me. Everything here is never straightforward and it can be so frustrating. I just have to remember, it is a different culture and take a deep breath. But at then end of the day I did get paid!!!!

So Jo and I went out for dinner, had a bottle of wine,. We headed down to Eunpa Park.

At night the bridge is all lit up and some ties there are light shows or water/fountain shows. This time there was a concert... aimed at old people. But it was fun all the same. I also 'borrowed' some flowers from some huge flower displays. The are now in a cut up fanta bottle next to my bed!

Then we went to a swanky cafe/bar called Cafe Seventy two. It was really nice with sofas and a huge windows so you could see the street. Definitely felt like I was more in New York.

If you ordered 2 KGB drinks then you got a free gift... of insoles... that added 2cm to your height! Jo was very excited about this!

We then headed off to a very posh noreabang compared to the one I normally go to on Bar Street. The good thing abot being with a Korean at a Noreabang is that even if you sing badly, they don't realise as it's in English.

Today, I have just cleaned my apartment in my underwear (because I can, because I live by myslef! mwhahaha!) I am going to go food shopping this afternoon and then might head to the 1,000 won shop to buy knifes, forks, glasses and other exciting things for my apartment!
