Milk and Basketball

A short time ago, I realized I hadn't drank milk in about a week and a half. That's an eternity for me. So I bought some milk and have been storing it in the communal refrigerator at my hasuk (boarding house). But now it smells like kimchi because there's kimchi in the fridge. Milk smelling like kimchi is not something you want to wake up to.

Also yesterday I played basketball at one of the only indoor courts in Seoul. It's decent, but it's crowded, and far. From leaving my door of the hasukjip to returning to the hasukjip, it took 4 hours. I only played one 20 minute game. This court is only open for basketball 3 sundays a month from 2pm -4:45pm. Let's just say I'm not getting any better at bball in Korea.

On the way to the basketball game, the canadian guy who also lives in my hasukjip told me that on United Nations standardized high school tests, South Korea usually scores 1 - 2 in the world, but by the time the students graduate college, they have the 88th most capable workforce in the world. Now this is just hearsay, but even if it's half true (and I feel like it is), that's staggering!
