My Baller VP
I think during Christmas time my vice principal bought new sunglasses. Well, to clarify they’re sunglasses that attach to his glasses, meaning he doesn’t need prescription sunglasses. Because they’re clip-ons, they look sort-of like aviators, and I think he’s proud of them because for the last few days he’s been wearing them non-stop. Maybe it’s just that he’s scared of losing them, or maybe he enjoys looking like part of the cast of Top Gun, but for the last few days everytime I see him he’s wearing them, either with the suglasses part down when he first walks in, or with them flipped-up so that way he can see indoors.
My vice principal, by the way, is one of the nicest men I’ve met to date in Korea. He speaks a little English but now that he knows I can speak some Korean he’ll speak to me mostly in Korean. He also saw that I liked to drink tea, so on two seperate occasions he’s given me black tea from a nearby famous mountain called Jirisan (which, is not only very nice of him, but it’s difficult to find black tea in Korea) and a giant jar as big as my head filled with yuja tea (kind of like orange jelly – you take a spoon of it, mix it with water, and voila! citrus tea).
1. I optimistically read part of this as “looking like Tim Gunn” the first time around.
2. I am drinking 유자차 right now, hooray.
3. Have you been to Jirisan yet? I never ended up going last year, and I would like to see some pictures if you go.
