Dear Korea,
You may have noticed we have gone, so we just wanted to write to you and thank you for a few things...
First of all, we want to thank you for kimchi ("the cabbage that we ravage with the chili-paste taste"). Without kimchi our meals would have been bland and our yellow raddish would have been lonely and tasted like feet.
On a similar thread, we would like to thank you for all the free side dishes you have given us over the last year. Without them we would have gone hungry and been unable to stretch our stomachs to hold the large capacity of food that they can now hold.
Korea, we also want to thank you for Noraebang (in particular, the Noraebang on the train)... without it, we would never have had the opportunity to hear so many good songs murdered by so many people (including ourselves), nor would we have been able to stay awake past sunrise on so many, many, many occasions.
We would also like to thank your cheap alcoholic beverages (for convenience and cheapness, not for the taste). Firstly, to Soju - sorry things didn't work out so well between us in the end, buddy... we really liked you, but then you gave us the worst hangovers experienced by man and things turned a little sour. Secondly to Hite beer for being both crisp and fresh and for giving us an alternative to Cass... even though you taste exactly the same. Finally, we'd like to thank our old faithful, Cass beer, for it's sound of vitality and for the extra 5 kilos we have both gained because of it... we couldn't be so chubby without you.
Korea, if you don't mind, could you pass on a few shout-outs for us??
-Thank you to the guy who works at garten bier who dank from our soju cocktails before we did.
-Thank you to all the trolley-weilding ajuma's in homeplus... our shins will never be the same again.
-Thank you to the assholes who stole our beloved push bikes mere weeks after it was actually warm enough to start riding them.
-Thank you to all the men who spat/snorted/vomited in our paths - you make the world so much more colourful... for everyone
-Thank you to all the loved up couples who wear matching clothes... we feel so lonely when walking down the street alone.
-Thank you for K-pop and for 꽃보다 남자... especially for T.O.P. and Lee Min Ho.
But seriously, Korea. Thank you for everything you have done for us and everything you have given us, like our fantastic friends, who are more like a family. Thank you for Mrs. C. who has been our Korean mum (who also happens to feed us beer on a daily basis). Thank you for the gorgeous kids we taught... and thank you (sort of) for the not-so-gorgeous ones too. Thank you for giving us the chance to live in your weird and wonderful country and attempt to learn your language and to try and understand your culture. It's been weird... and wonderful. The last year has been amazing and we will never forget you. Korea, 사랑해.

ReplyDeleteGreat first (and possibly last) blog entry girls. Have to say though, I would've preferred 'Amaire' as your couple name rather than 'Clamy'. Sounds far more exotic!
ReplyDeleteHear, hear! Can't wait to see you both BACK there.
