I Found a Husband!

I feel as if a 5,000 pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I went in to see my director today with Jason, not my head teacher Jason, a Korean teacher here named Jason. He was my translator. The meeting went about 115% better than I expected it to. I explained to him that I wanted to be released from my contract. We discussed why in detail and I felt so much better explaining to him how I feel and what has been happening. I asked to leave in January. He explained that I needed to stay at least 6 months so I wouldn't have any penalties for breaking my contract. (which would be jan 21st)....then he asked me if I would consider staying until the end of February. I agreed. I told him I wanted to leave on good terms. I told him I was sorry and I felt badly because he has been so good to me, but I explained how my few positive interactions with him could not compare to the daily and constant negative interactions I have with Jay and Liz. He was very amicable, and again I felt very lucky. So I am leaving at the end of February!!! I am so excited! I am very happy!

Now for the fun story.

I like to design clothes in my head, but unfortunately I can never see my creations take place because of my lack of skill, sewing machine, material, and motivation to get any of the before mentioned things accomplished. In Korea there are custom tailor shops everywhere. I decided to visit one last weekend to order my dream winter coat. (since i don't have one after living in New Mexico!) Holly and I went into a random shop in Itaewon after being approached by a very enthusiastic Korean man in a suit. On the way down to his basement shop, we introduced each other. After hearing my name he said, "Wow! Venus and Julia! Those names sound so beautiful together! We should get married!" He then preceded to tell me he wanted my children. It sounds creepy and crazy, but it was just simply hilarious. Holly and I were seated in his "office" and I began describing my design. While I was speaking he would gasp and nod and smile. He was excited! He told me I was an artist! He explained to me that he graduated from design school and was very eager to work on my idea. He said that he didn't get the opportunity to make things like what I was describing very often. Most of his work is boring. (so he said) He kept murmuring that he was worried. He would say over and over again, "I'm very worried." I thought it was because he was thinking my design was a little out there (which it is not)...but Holly finally asked him what he was worried about and he told her he was worried about the number of men who would definitely be following me around when I wore my new coat!

After the deposit was paid and he had made Holly and I laugh about 5 million times, he asked us if we would like to see a picture of Mc Hammer in his underwear. The next thing we knew he turned on his computer and loaded his web site and this is what we saw...

Venus made MC Hammer 6 suits. You would think he could've worn one in the pic!

Venus is by far the coolest Korean man I have met since living in Korea. If you ever go to Itaewon and need a suit, or any kind of custom clothes, he is your man. Here's his website if you want to look around! The other famous people he has made clothes for are under "Customer Story". Just click the link.
