"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."

Or he may be Korean and has no idea what you're saying.

The plan for today was to explore Pukyong National University's campus more extensively in addition to completing some homework for my Business Ethics class. Korea seems to think negatively about that idea, though, because it's actually cold and rainy outside. Korea has a subtropical climate...and it changed it just for me. I should probably take that as a sign of good feelings...but instead, I will spite it and go outside anyway! It's actually a nice change from the usual ridiculously humid and hot fare we usually get.

The library shall be defeated today, one way or another. It becomes a task more difficult, though, when asking people for directions, etc, is a long and laborious process. I realize that most of the people here speak very little English, and I respect that. I don't expect people to know exactly what I'm saying...I just wish it they wouldn't feel embarrassed to use the little English that they DO have and point me in the right direction. I suppose it must just be a personal issue that I need to get past...I can do this on my own if I am persistent enough. So...on to the library!
