Headed to immigration in a few minutes to try and convert my soon to expire E-2 into a D-4, as I'm also a registered student. Wish me luck, sounds like I'll need it.

Nothing as bad as yours, thank God, but I keep them in mind to keep my spirits up. Thanks for the helpful tips.

Noen ganger hjelper det å være en "Imperial Citizen" men som du sa, det er ofte best å bare si at man er fra Norge. Det kommer litt an på hvem du snakker med, og hvilken generasjon de er.

Har du noe slags konfliktsituasjon på gata i Korea, trøbbel med koreanerne osv, vennligst bare si at du er fra Norge, uten noe omtale om USA-forhold. USA har jo et stort imageproblem overalt, men p.g.a. Bushies gale politikk overfor N-Korea og mange andre grunn ser Korea ut som et spesielt tilfelle. Det betyr selvfølgelig ikke at man eksploder når han/nun hører om USA, men jeg opplever det på den måten at følelsene blir forskjellige - du er virkelig anerkjent som en "andre".

Canada. Cool. Connected. By contrast, Korean nationals going to the US seem to require a visa/interview, even for tourism purposes. So they're actually being quite nice giving you 30 days.

We had great mandu ramyon on the way. Somebody needs to write a paper on the practice of writing an elipses [...] followed by an exclamation point [!]--which many Koreans do. Does that indicate a gap between dazed apprehension and astonished comprehension? But…! We had great mandu ramyon on the way.
