      So much yes. An ex of mine is from Korea, and as soon as they started using makeup that was sold in North America they broke out with acne. Also, everyone uses it there no matter the gender.

    Having my first own apartment was an amazing event. First thing I did was shitting with the bathroom doors open.

      My parents helped me move into my first own apartment in August 2014. It was so hot and humid. First thing I did was barf. I’m autistic, I hate change, and my move symbolized a mammoth change in my life. I was 22. I’d just graduated college. I moved to the city away from my friends. I would be starting my first full-time job that following Monday. My life as I knew it was ending, and something else was beginning. I’m sure the heat exhaustion wasn’t helping. I lied in bed, watching the ceiling spin and spin and spin and spin until I couldn’t take it anymore and said my prayers to the porcelain gods for the rest of the night.

      I believe I moved on a Wednesday so I had time to get my bearings. Figure out where things were and what there was to do. I was never a drinker so even though the area was lousy with watering holes, I never visited any of them. But I did get to game over the weekend. My first day at work wasn’t too bad, either. I got paid seventeen bucks an hour to sort time cards on my first day. Paychecks were a month in arrears. You had to wait til the end of the following month to collect your first payday so since I started on the 11th and not the 1st of the month, those first few months were rough.

      Took me a while to poop with the door open. I only got to do that for maybe a half year before I met and moved in with my now wife. She doesn’t deserve to smell that shit, but she does tell me I the farts I fart in my sleep are war crimes lol

    Seoul is expensive. The transit is pretty great tho, the night buses mean you don’t end up stranded on the far side of the city at 12:01.

    Climb Bukhansan some morning, it’s a really nice hike.
