Yes everyone, I have re-entered the world. I have finally purchased a new cell phone after my much anticipated ARC card came in the mail from the immigration office. Without this magical card that takes a month on average to process, you can't get any channels or cable on your television. You can't install the Internet. You can't open a bank account. And you can't buy a cell phone!
The new phone is very stylish and a pretty plum purple with many features including the Internet, a Korean dictionary, a camera/video device, a tv, and a subway may of Seoul..among many other things. The sight of me and Sionna in the phone store must have been an interesting sight to all the passers-by as we acted out what we wanted. The poor store workers spoke no English at all but the phrase, "OK". They would say something to us and we would just look at each other all confused and say, "What!?! I have no idea what he is trying to tell me." But we somehow managed to get a year contract, a new phone, and a cute cell phone charm. (If you don't accessorize and style up your phone with little charms - you're sooooo not hip and cool). So I have arrived at last in Korea! Purple cell phone and all...
