My New Girlfriend

So, I would like to take a brief moment and introduce the rest of the world to my new girlfriend. Her name is Jung Mi and, yes, she is Korean. In fact, she is a native to Sangju. Unfortunately the only pictures I have of her were taken with my phone. I sent them to my email so I could post a photo of her with this post. However, the quality of the picture is slightly diminished. I will try my best and get a picture of her with better resolution. Here she is:

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been doing pretty much the same things that you would expect to do in America. We’ve seen movies (Shutter Island and Clash of the Titans), gone out to dinner (T.G.I.F and Outback) and played video games (she’s pretty good at Cruisin’ World). Really, this is nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve even figured out how to put Korean subtitles on the movies I download.

I guess that reminds me to mention that she doesn’t speak English fluently (keyword: fluently). She speaks well, but it definitely helps that I’ve been learning Korean for the past 5 months. To be completely honest, I haven’t found a topic that we cannot yet discuss. That even includes astronomy (thank you Google Earth) and even politics/news. I expect eventually something may be too difficult to discuss, but I haven’t encountered it yet. I’ll let you all know what it is when it happens.

It also should be mentioned that she has a car. Meaning, I am now semi-mobile. Awesome.

The picture actually does have pretty poor resolution on it. Sorry.
