So, I know in my last post (from, oh, about 2 months ago) I promised to tell the rest of the story about my parents visit. And clearly, this has not happened. I apologize. It will. Now that my open class (read: Korean parents come and watch me and judge my ability to teach their children)is over, I will hopefully have more time to do everything I want to do. This includes, but is not limited to: learning Korean, learning French, hiking our mountain every morning, doing yoga, reading, and of course, writing this blog.
But I have come back from my, let's call it a hiatus, to tell you about one of my favorite aspects of living in Korea. The Korean commercial. It is a strange and wonderful thing, as my mom would say about the whole of Korea itself. With most (well, all) commercials here, we have no idea what the people are saying. What we do know, however, is that whatever song is on is damn catchy and wants to make you dance like a fool, and what you are seeing is almost certainly adorable to the point of insanity. While reading my friend Caroline's blog (she actually writes hers) I came across the youtube video for me absolute favorite commercial. The dancing girl in the yellow dress. What are they advertising? Your guess is as good as mine. Unless you happen to speak Korean, than it's almost certainly better. Well, without further ado:
Wonderful, isn't it? I should mention, half the foreigners here HATE this commercial. There is clearly something terribly wrong with their pure joy receptors.
Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll be able to post more of the commercials I've come to love (there's one with a radish who we think is named Yoshi that I quite like)as well as the rest of my parents adventures here in Korea, and the rest of mine.
