So last Saturday I went out to a Canadian bar and had some delicious pepperoni pizza. This bar had a Canadian flag attached to a hockey stick hanging outside. The bar was called Beer-O'Clock and they had advertisements for their bar on a TV Screen. It included photoshopped pictures of Snoop Dog
and Don Cherry and Ron McClain.
Later we went to a Nor - e - bong (Karaoke room) and sang and laughed. Arriving home at 4 am I went to bed.
You must be thinking why is this post titled scary events? These events don't seem scary! Well you are right. Scary event number one occured when I got home.
So I had been asleep for about 30 minutes (making it 4:30am) when I heard a strange sound. At first I thought I was just crazy and there was nothing to worry about. The sound did not go away. It sounded like someone was pulling and fiddling with my neighbors front door and then my front door. It was a menacing sound and I began to shake with fear. I decided someone must be trying to break into my apartment! I began to freak out. I have no phone here to call for help since I have not recieved my Alien Registration Card yet which you need to get a cell phone. There is also no other way to escape my apartment as the windows are barred to prevent people from breaking in. Trembling I made my way to the door in the dark. I decided not to turn any lights on so that I would not alert my intruder that I was aware of his presence. I looked out my peephole and I could see the outline of a man standing in the dark. Panic begins to set in as my only escape would be right by him. I decided to try and hold my door knob tight so he could not turn it. He kept pacing and it looked as though he was on the phone. I couldn't figure out how he knew the code to get into my apartment building. I could hear a phone ringing somewhere over and over again. Just when I thought I was going to throw up I hear a girl yell in the room next to mine. She ran to the door, opened it and pulled in the man. Turns out the guy simply forgot his keys and was trying to get into his shared apartment!
I felt kinda stupid but I was still shaking when I crawled back into my bed!
Scary event number two involves my parents and a phone call. While I was at work Monday morning, the secretary Rose comes running into my office to inform me that I have a phone call. I was really confused as I didn't even know the phone number of my office and had not given it to anyone. She says that it is my dad. I answer and sure enough my dad is on the other line and he sounds so relieved to hear my voice. Turns out that night someone called our home in Ottawa. A girl called and when my dad asked who it was the girl told him "you know." He replied with "Olivia?" to which she responded "yes." My dad said she sounded really funny but it did sound a bit like me. He asked her if everything was okay because she didn't sound right. She says ya. He asks where she is and she responds "at home." My dad asks why she is calling and she says to introduce her new boyfriend. Then a man with an Asian accent comes on the phone and says, "I like pills!" The girl gets back on the line to assure my dad it is fine he just has tourettes. She says she should go and hangs up. My dad panicked because he believed that I had been drugged by some Korean man and I was in danger in my apartment as this man was probably going to rape me. My dad frantically called my recruiter, then my school director and then the school owner to track me down. Remember I still don't have a phone here. He gets a hold of the owner and she gives him the number to my school and he finally finds out I am okay and that it was a prank call. While they were trying to reach me my dad and my mom decided that the would be coming to Korea the next day to save me...
So that was scary!
As promised here is me eating street meat. Each sausage tasted different from the last and two of them had this chewy rice thing that looks like a really thick noodle.... as in like 100 times bigger than a regular noodle. They are soft and chewy and quite nice.
Here is a picture of me in the street somewhere nearby the Canadian bar.
