Sing me to sleep.

Everything is musical here. There are cute noises coming out of everything. My washing machine plays a little song when its done. The bell at school plays different songs to let us know when class is starting, when its break time and when school is over for the day. I love it. These little songs make everything cute and more enjoyable. It makes even the most annoying thing funny. Even the lamanating machine plays Ode to Joy or something like that when its done warming up and ready to use.

When I'm teaching my later classes there is music playing on the streets. We're on the 6th floor of a building in downtown Yeong-tong. Cars with advertisements drive by in groups of 3 or 4 ( just in case you missed the first one ) blasting music. Its excitement every night.

Another thing that I noticed is that there is cool music at the most random places. There is a commercial on right now for the train in South Korea with the theme song being Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez. The Gnarls Barkely song is on another commercial for cars or something. When we were in the noraebang in DeokJeok Do they had a Jem song as well as the One T & Cool T song that I was obsessed with in Paris. This amazes me considering most of the music is just so....well...bad. hahaha.
