June 2017: Fax an immigration form with my new passport number and new address. This is two months after I move but no biggie, right?Queue yesterday. I go to immigration, docs in hand. Kevin, you did not notify us of your change of address. *FACK* Yeah, I sent it in June with my passport form. It's not in our system. You will have to pay a fine. *Shiㅜ, I've heard of this. 50 000? 100 000, not the end of the world. Yeah, I only checked one box on the form for passport change, not the address one. I'm an idiot. Please go to Law Enforcement on the second floor. --------------------- Mr. Grabb, that will be 500 000W. FRICKIN. SHOOT. ME. *proceeds to pay out of necessity*

I used to like bibimbap, but now I kind of hate it? I think it's because it's used as a cheap lunch option, but I'm also over the gochujang and lack of protein. If I'm going to be eating veggies and rice as an entire meal, I think I'd rather just flavor the rice with soy sauce and sesame oil instead of an either bland or overly salty pepper paste. Seriously, I'm eating it like twice a week, and I hate it. I'm wondering if I'll get too much side-eye if I bring in my own condiments and meat for bibimbap days.

Our Korean lives are too short to spend them on eating bad bibimbap. I still like it, but that's because I have it maybe twice a year. And even then, it comes with more than just an egg and some carrots and spinach.

I've always preferred the soy sauce/sesame oil combo! That's how I had bibimbap as a kid. I've still never developed much of a taste for the flavor of gochujang nor spicy food in general. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blargh, it's manure season again. And yeah, I usually end up with really terribly prepared gochujang. Usually no seasonings, or just salt added.
I really hate the smell of Diesel fumes. It seems like diesel is quite popular here. One thing that makes it worse is that big trucks and buses have the exhaust pipe down low at the rear of the vehicle about 3 feet off the ground. This means that when you stop behind a bus in your car you get a big waft of Diesel coming through your vents. Anyway I don't like it but i can live with turning off the fan in the car for a while but why don't they have the same design as in Australia where all trucks and buses have a vertical exaust pipe that sends the fumes up high above the roof of the vehicle and above head hight when walking around near bus stops and construction sites. It really makes a difference. I am sensitive to smells.
Spent about twenty minutes trying to get a taxi to work this morning to avoid walking through a rice farm in the rain to get to work (like I usually do... but it's not so bad when it isn't raining). Also, the air quality here is pretty bad today, so I wanted to avoid that. Tried KakaoTaxi.... tried calling.... even tried throwing on my mask and standing outside with an umbrella hoping a 빈차 taxi would drive by.... no such luck. After about 20 minutes, I was now late for work and had to ride my bike in the rain to get there without being RIDICULOUSLY late. I showed up looking like a swamp witch. Happy Monday!
