Never Did I Think

So, there are things that I've been thinking of since I've been here that I never thought I'd like or appreciate that I've come to find as a regular part of my life. I thought I'd share that list with you all.

Never did I think that I'd be living somewhere that every single person had three syllables to their name.
Never did I think that I'd be sitting at lunch picking bones off of a piece of fish to eat it...and actually enjoy it!
Never did I think I'd be craving rice and tuna wrapped in seaweed (참치김밮) for breakfast every morning.
Never did I think kids would be saying that they wanted to be a teacher because they wanted to make a lot of money. Lol.
Never did I think I'd find it so comforting to see someone on the street that was white or black, knowing that I could say "hello" and that it would be understood.
Never did I think that the "broken English" feeling that Ashley and I fought all through Europe would be a constant in my life.
Never did I think I'd find one specific type of people so kind and endearing.
Never did I think that I'd be able to put up with as many mouth noises as I do here without blinking an eye.
Never did I think that I could feel so ignorant, yet so loved all in the same day...or moment at that.
Never did I think I'd be walking as much as I do here...
Never did I think I'd live in a constant state of sweat. As in I sweat....ALL THE TIME here.
Never did I think I'd be making a list like this that consisted of my everyday life circumstances...that's all!

  1. Oh my goodness...I can relate to a lot of those! No fish and seaweed for me, but the constant sweat is definitely something I have experienced. (I miss A/C!)

    And I definitely understand this one:
    "Never did I think that I could feel so ignorant, yet so loved all in the same day...or moment at that."
