Gem Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hi, I'm new. Obviously I'm not going to talk about serious stuff for awhile probably, but I didn't want to just lurk. BTW I am a 20-year-old college student/Army wife, currently living in South Korea. This site looks very helpful Link to post

I hope you will find the support you need here and when and if you are ready to share, you will find nothing but unconditional support and understanding.

Lindsay Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Gem, Welcome to After Silence. Take as much time as you need sweetie. Oh my older sister is from Korea...(we are all adopted) What's it like in Korea? Sorry if I sound nosy Linds Link to post
Gem Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thanks, both of you. diamond I understand the coffee thing...I've only had five cups today (not nearly enough ). Link to post
Gem Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 (edited) You're not nosy I love to talk! Korea is very different to me, because I'm from a small town in Wyoming. So I've got the big city culture shock plus the culture culture shock (lol!). I like having lots to do. I don't like that if I go out in the rain without an umbrella, my skin will hurt because the rain is contaminated; that was really strange! More good things about Korea: People are much more polite than in the U.S. It's fun trying different food People remember me! At home I'm eminently forgettable. Everyone wants to talk to me because they want to practice their English ;) Edited September 14, 2005 by Gem Link to post
Lindsay Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Wow I didn't know the water there was contaminated. That is very interesting. Korea is a place that I would like to learn more about but not actually go there. I am a bit of a chicken I guess you could say. Linds Link to post
Gem Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Oh, but you should visit here ;) It's fun. I don't know, maybe other big cities are just as fun, but I've never been to other big cities. There's a board game cafe near my school. I think that's just the greatest idea Link to post
