I Hope I Remember...

I'm coming home for Christmas! While I'm home, I hope I remember...


• it’s okay to walk in the house with my shoes on
• how to use a dish washer, an oven, and a clothes dryer
• I don’t need to bow to Americans
• to tip the waiter
• my age (in Korean age, I’m 25, not 24)
• how to use a knife and fork
• it’s okay to throw the food trash in with the regular garbage
• I don’t have to use simple sentences and body language to be understood
• to say “thank you” instead of “gamsahamnida”
• movie theater popcorn isn’t free
• how to drive
• and if I remember how to drive, I hope I remember stopping at red lights is not optional
