Wednesday, June 20th

I went to Emart in the morning to pick up some groceries. I got the granola I needed, but was devastated to find out there wasn't any mango juice, which I have been downing here like it's a drug since I don't really like the taste of milk here. I also tried to pick up some Neosporin and large bandaids for Ellen, since she had fallen the night before during the concert, but surprisingly you can't buy that type of stuff at Emart. The employee when I asked him just looked at me kind of confused and then told me you buy all that stuff at a pharmacy. So on my way back to Expo, I stopped by the pharmacy and picked up everything, which by the way was super cheap. Pharmacies here are really cheap. You just tell the pharmacist about your injury/sickness/symptoms and then the pharmacist tells you what you should buy. 


At around noon, I went to go play in the soccer game against East Timor because they desperately needed a female to play and I felt bad. I figured even though I sucked it would be better to lose than forfeit. I actually turned out not to be the worst player because that honor should be bestowed on Bjorn, who was our goalie. We were ahead 1-0 at the end of the first half, but by the end of the second half the score was 1-4 I think. It was all in good fun though. I don't actually take any of the soccer games seriously. They're just a fun way to get some exercise and chat with other Expo workers from other countries. After that I had the afternoon shift for work.


At about 9:30 pm I went out to dinner with about 20 other people from our pavilion. Our security guards had actually organized the dinner and had been planning it for about a month. We all went out for 삼겹살 in an area of 여수 that I didn't even know existed. I stayed for about two and a half hours and then people were leaving for round two of drinks, so I decided to go home. One of our retail managers, Steve, actually gave Rachel, Yvonne and I a ride back to the apartments, which was really nice of him.
