Korean High School Boys= Boys EVERYWHERE, Awkward Conversation about Clothes

Okay, so its been a minute since my last post, so theres some stuff I can update yall on. For one: Happy Belated Fucking Thanksgiving, you lucky bastards! Hahaha. I'll be celebrating in Korea with a couple of Americans at TGIFridays. WTF did they import the worst American restaurant chains here? They love Dunkin Donuts (yuck), Baskin Robbins (ewww-- ever hear of Coldstones?), Kentucky Fried Chicken (I should mention when I first taken out on an outing to a mall here by my kind hosts we saw a billion KFCs. One of the Korean teachers said to me, "I know youre happy there's a KFC here, right?" Uh, no honey. I wont take that as a insult, either even though it was on the TIP of my tongue to say, "Oh cause I'm black I gotta like fried chicken?" Whoops.) There are KFCs, Baskin Robbins and D.D on almost every corner. Right beside the McDonalds...sigh.
So, it hasnt all been bad. On the bright side, my principal has started getting the message and leaving me the fuck alone. However, he still burps and farts in the presence of myself and other teachers. And since he is the ONLY Korean person I've met who does this, I will choose to assume that this is HIS own personal quirk and not one of Korean men in general. That being said, he is still a nasty ass fucker.
My third week of school is going pretty well. In case ya'll didnt know, I teach 13-16 year olds. Teenagers are challenges; theyre either really angsty or too talkative or have smart ass mouths. They just didnt know that I will get with their asses. Now they do. =) And once they found out I was 22, it got a little awkward. So, the boys like to flirt, a little too much. Whenever I go into the upper-level classes, with the 16 year olds, they never fail to call out "Can I have your number?" WTF? I smile and say, "Yeah, honey you can once you hold an all-English conversation on the phone." The lead teacher in my office had to actually ban 3rd grade (english equivalent of 10th grade) boys from the office because they pile up in here and want to talk during all the breaks... one-- very embarassing. two-- annoying as well. She informed me that it would wear off once all the students get used to me, which hopefully will happen soon cause its mortifying being under all this scrutiny.
Another thing you guys may find amusing. The issue of my clothes...or more specifically my BODY. So, the other day I wore a v-neck sweater to school, with a camisole underneath and wide legged jeans and ballet flats. It was possibly the most vanilla, safe and professional outfit ever. Nothing was showing that wasnt supposed to be showing. I guess a minor display of collarbone is just too much, because during the second hour, Mrs. Lee came up to me and said it might be too 'provocative' for some of the students. WTF??? I see teachers come to school with skirts up to their thighs, and a V-NECK SWEATER is provocative. One, where did she pull that word from? I didnt know she had the word 'provocative' in her arsenal of limited English. Two, its offensive that someone would insinuate that I'm being less then professional at work. Bastards. But I brushed it off, cause clearly there are standards here that are different from in America. Whatever.
The next day, I wear jeans, ballet flats and a TURTLENECK. Yes, the turtle neck was fitted, but it wasnt vulgar. It was a plain old, standard H&M turtleneck. Again, after lunch, Mrs. Lee came up to me and said "Everything you wear is so provocative! (giggle, giggle) I dont know what to do! (giggle, giggle)" Okay, bitch, so now I'm offended. I said to her, "I'm completely covered, from head to toe... Mrs. W (another teacher) is wearing almost the exact same thing. I mean, whats wrong with my outfit?" She told me, "American women are made so differently from Korean women. We are very slight people, so we dont fill out clothes like you."

Cultural sidenote: This is a very frank country. Korean people will say nearly anything to you and ask you any question that they want. Its not considered rude here, no matter how Westerners take it.

I knew that this...frankness was a cultural difference, but I couldnt help but be pissed. I have hips and boobs and a considerable ass (compared to the women here) and I cant help the way my clothes fucking fit. Whew. I was sooooooo mad. I just said, "I cant help the way my body is, and all the clothes I bought with me are considered appropriate so unless the school is willing to advance my pay and take me shopping I cant do anything about it." She laughed and said, "No, its no problem." Yeah, I know and if it WERE a problem, it wouldnt be mine.

Someone please tell me to loosen up and not get so defensive. Please. =)

PS- I'm still waiting to deliver a POSITIVE post to you guys.

Oh yeah, so apparently there ARE 52 weeks in a year, my bad. =P
