Korea

Out of 107 students to attend this partcular 8AM-5Pm subject, only five of us were present today. The talk is deeply enriching anyway, and we were dismissed at three.  

PS. should i take an elective in Korean or not?

Speaking of Korean… There are many koreans here in Bataan, especially in my place, Bataan economic Zone, where most of the factories are owned by korean enterprises. One time, while I was riding a passenger jeepney, two Koreans boarded inside and sat in front of me. The guy nearer the Driver took some coins from his pocket, paid the driver and said “To the shee sho.”He smiled toothily, but the driver frowned.  The driver, unable to speak well in English, let alone Korean, was just perplexed. He turned to his friend-slash-conductor beside him and asked where the koreans were going. But he was as confused. They asked the koreans again and the two answered happily in chorus, “To the Shee sho.” waving there hands pointing to God Knows where. I smirked. The woman beside me giggled. Then a passenger asked the two koreans the third time. So they both showed their plastic bags, full of fresh squids in it, still dripping with slime, and gestured with their arms. They waved their arms frantically  in front of us while saying yet again the word “SHEE SHO”. It took as some time and more mentions of Shee sho before it all dawned to us. Then we all finally yelled in comprehension, “AAAhhh… Seashore.” Before we know it, we were all laughing as the two Koreans proudly beamed at us.
