Crazy Person or Celebrity?

Well things are still a bit crazy here.  I am Still sleeping on the floor, still working like crazy and still have no idea how to speak Korean.  I have, however, have had plenty of time to notice all the stares that I'm getting every single time I go out.  It just makes me wonder if they are thinking "who is that crazy person walking down the street?" or "Didn't I just see them in a movie?".
   Everyday on my walk to work, I notice all the people staring at me as I walk by.  Is there some big stain on my shirt?  No.  Maybe my hair is a mess?  Nope.  Its just the fact that I am living in a part of town that doesn't have too many foreigners.  As a minority here, I find that I have to get used to the sometimes awkwardly long stares that I get from random people on the street, bus, subway and apartment window (probably the most awkward when you are just lying there trying to get to bed).  Its also a little frustrating when you are trying to help your students prepare for their big presentation that day and all they want to do is look at your arm hair. 
   Its not all bad though.  I'll get many waves and hellos, especially from children, as I'm walking down the street.  Or someone on the subway will stop and have a chat with you about living in Korea.  I'll also get the guy at the 7/11 who has trained himself to speak two phrases "thank you" and "would you like a bag?".  Usually I'm buying a drink or a candy bar, so I'm thinking why would I need a bag.  But those are probably the only two phrases that he knows and would probably say the same thing on the street if I asked him for directions.  So I'll politely say no and move on.
   Work has finally slowed down and I have a three day weekend because of Chuseok, the Korean thanksgiving.  I've finally ventured out of my work-only zone I've been in and finally have started to explore the city.  I'll save all that fun for next time though.
