Merry-go-round

Four weeks really do fly. Apologies but this might be a little disjointed. And there won't be any pictures this time. The software that came with my new Korean phone doesn't like Windows XP (surprise...).

The office set up a bank account for me, so I could get paid. Obviously they decided to make the account at a bank they do not normally use for their employee's accounts. I would think they would make all the accounts at one bank. So I am given my atm card and passbook assuming the PIN number I just entered would allow me access to my pay, as one does. Nope, I had to go to the nearest bank to my school during my long lunch (two short train trips) to change the PIN number AND security number only to find out that the account is registered under my name but not under my foreign alien number. Then I find out that the branch the account was opened at is roughly between Yangcheong-gu Station and Omokgyo Station, ie walking distance. I decide to walk and I end up walking all the way to the Omokgyo branch where I am given clearer directions to the original branch.
Out of all that, I met two people working at the Mokdong and Shinsegneori(?) branches that had stayed in Brisbane and Sydney respectively. I've met quite a few Koreans that have chosen Brisbane over Sydney when they go to Australia for a holiday.

There is no way I could have sorted that mess out without the help I recieved from June Sig and Irene. Much love!!! I mean, June Sig's family had a birthday cake for me when I had only been staying with them for a week.

Hopefully I can post some nice pics soon.
