I am just full of Christmas cheer right now. In about 5 hours I'll be on a plane to Warsaw, all my awesomely Korean family-presents tightly bundled up in my carry-on, my single suitcase light and baggy (did you know that KLM now only allows 20kg of luggage? Not 2 pieces, 20kg each - 20kg altogether. AND - here's the best part - every additional 5kg you choose to bring will cost you a mere 105 euro. I had a little fury fit over that last night).
How do you say Merry Christmas in Korean? Merry Christmas. Trill the r's a bit. Korean Christmas carols are merely American classics sung by Korean pop stars (in both English and Korean). And Christmas day here seems to be all about the cake. Everyone buys cake. Everywhere sells cake. Children only get one present from their parents and that seems to stop around middle school. Lights and decorations are somewhat half-assed.
With any luck I'll arrive in Poland as scheduled (come on Amsterdam, you can pull me through without delays, right?) for a proper Christmas, complete with Polish Nutcracker. I'll take obnoxious mouse dancers over anorexic 5-year-olds anyday.
