Day 24- Soon to be on my own...

It's two days before Rie is off to Beijing. This means...PARTY! ahahahah. After work, I met up with Rie for a one last outing before her internship in Beijing. The bad thing about not having a car is public transportation stops running at a certain time. This means I can:
A) take a cab (way too expensive).
B) roam around the city until the subways run again.
While waiting for the others, I discovered the best snack thing in the world! They're these whole grain crackers with some sort of cream in the middle. They're also an energy bars. Either way, they have become my favorite snack.
Also, tonight has officially affirmed my theory. Everywhere we went people thought I was Japanese. But it's okay, not everyone has the skill to distinguish the different Asians. Either way, I guess that's what happens when you go to a homogenous country.
If you're reading this and thinking, "No duh that's going to happen when you're surrounded by a majority of the same ethnicity." It's not true, when I'm in Korea people think I'm Chinese, Japanese, S.E. Asian, and even Hispanic before they guess Korean. I don't know if I should be offended or relieved I can blend in with the crowd. Do I dress Japanese?!?! noooooo.....
