Korea vs America

As my trip is coming to a close I though I would write down all of the things I love and will miss about Korea and things I wont miss and then the same for America!

Things I love and will miss about Korea:
~The people here are so nice!
~The culture is so respectful to everyone, especially their elders.
~How accommodating my host mom is to our likes and dislikes
~My host brother asking us every night after class "Were you funny" instead of "Was it fun" or "are you boring" instead of "are you bored" and "take a rest".
~No one being able to say my name...I get called Brake, Brick, or Bakes (L's are hard to say)
~The church and all of the services they have.
~Talking really slow so that they can understand us.
~Playing cards with my host brother and sister.
~Running stairs and doing ab workouts with my host sister and mom.
~Taking short sightseeing trips on weekends with my host family.
~Coffee Jigi
~Random people coming up to us wanting to talk to us and practice their English.
~That wearing a seat belt is offensive to their driving
~My host moms cooking
~Drinking watered down coffee
~Korean instant coffee
~Hang drying our clothes
~The lunches everyday at the church (even if the food was not to my liking)
~The very huge amount of snack food the church secretary leaves for us during our break in between classes.
(There are many thing I love that I cannot remember as I am writing this)

Things I won't miss as much in Korea:
~Paying for toilet paper at the subway.
~Squatty potties
~No ovens
~Walking everywhere in the insane humidity or pouring down rain
~Hour long subway rides
~Being bored some days
~Getting stared at whenever we walk somewhere
~Random people touching my pale arms and blonde hair
~Not being able to read anything or speak to anyone

Things I miss about America:
~My family
~The food
~My friends
~Being able to speak and read signs

With only 11 days left in this wonderful country the realization that I may never be able to come back here is sad. I was finally able to communicate to my students that next week is our last class and when they understood that I will be leaving for good and there will be no more class, they all said a very long, in unison, Noooo. It is sad that I will be leaving and going back to my life in America and they will continue their lives in Korea. I hope that somewhere along the way I had an impact on their lives similar to the one they all had on mine!
