What I have learned so far...

Well, it's been three weeks in South Korea, and there are a few things I have learned.

-any decent man in Korea has a glittery tie
- in the elevator, if you are blonde, an elderly person might pet you.
- cars and people share the road
-strawberries are worth their weight in won...12 perfectly glorious strawberries costs $11 - and that's the cheapest I've seen them so far.
-It is not considered out of the ordinary for a child to be alone on public transit
-in a dong (district) that looks like China Town in Toronto, you are able to leave your car or moped running without fear of someone stealing it.
- Antibiotics and drugs are cheaper than water.
-no tipping. Absolutely no tipping...apparently that's only for sexual favors.
-In Seoul, you cannot see stars
-In Seoul, you're lucky if you can see the craters in the moon.
-People take their face masks off to cough and sneeze - that mask is for their protection...not yours.
-there is no heat in the apartments, only heated floors.
-Heated floors are amazing, and I'd give up heaters in a heartbeat.
-Koreans are extremely friendly to women, especially if you are blonde. If you're not...best of luck.
-Soju tastes like horseshit.
-Soju actually tastes like rubbing alcohol...I think it's why I hated gluten free beer in Canada, it was made with horseshit.
-Soju in regular beer, however, tastes almost delightful.
- They have "dollar stores" here, but no "won-a-rama's"..I was a little disappointed.
-I can't pronounce or spell any of the food I'd like to eat again. They use words like gimpop, or gimchi, or bu chin gay, but the g will often sound like a k depending on the accent of the Korean who is speaking.
-when learning Korean, no words start with a vowel. they have a symbol for "ng" and it goes in front of a vowel and is silent. Don't judge them..we have words like "thought, know, and platypus". 
-"Ohn" is the informal sound for "okay". And when people go "ok, ok, ok" it sounds more gutteral when it's "ohn ohn ohn" I can't even phonetically spell the sounds out for you.
-the children in schools are given affection and love by the teachers. It's encouraged even. Makes you want to smack the Canadian government.
-it's very dry here.
