Im still here, but I am also still training. I think my trainee is stuck in traffic because of the Pope.
Anyways there is a holiday on April 14 in Korea known as "black day". Black day is in response to "white day" which is a day when women give gifts to their men ( a thank you from the gifts they received on valentines day).
On Black day, people who have not found love dress in all black and eat traditionally black foods. The most common/popular if a bowl of noodles with black bean paste on top.
So the next time you feel unattractive and all alone, don't eat a gallon of ice cream. Have some noodles. Both will make you fat, but atleast with noodles you can feel "cultural".
Uruguay, the country best known for...well nothing, is now known for something. On Sunday April, 13 they broke the Guinness world record for the biggest BBQ. Over 1,200 "chefs" grilled 12 metric tons of beef, breaking the previous record of 4 tons set by Mexico.
Uruguay is finally on the map. Look out, here they come.
Finally, Police arrested a womam for DUI last week. The woman was the cleaning lady at the police station, and showed up to work (at the station!) stinking drunk. "Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb". Then again if you are stinking drunk early in the morning and going to work, you've got other things on your mind.
That's all for today. Leave a post, or don't.

so - if i'm to understand korea correctly:
valentine's day - feb 14th - men shower women with gifts.
white day - march 14th? (assumed) - women shower men with gifts.
black day - april 14th - men shower women with sorrow.
see, i think white day would be well replaced with its american counterpart - steak & BJ day, commonly known to take place on march 14th. that way the dude has some kind of incentive to hang around for black day. think of all the embarrassment you might save.
think of the bean paste.
also, southpark reference noted:
'dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb'
