BUSY BUSY BUSY
28.07.2004
Greetings. Well, we’re powering through week 2 and the challenges just keep piling on. Starting my first round of meetings with stand-in translators and it’s definitely a little awkward (and takes much longer). Want to do everything I can to communicate better (wait till you hear about my weekend korean immersion program in 3 weeks), but this will have to do now. I can’t help but think that things are getting lost in the translation… which then makes me perpetually feel like Bill Murray in, Lost in Translation. I see sophia’s point of view more clearly.
On top of that, Gary “the glove” Payton is coming for a visit and isn’t happy with his hotel room. An event sponsorship promoter pretty much threatened one of the guys on my team, cancelling a press event with some athletes and sick kids. A one of the major media outlets feels that we “owe” them media because we chose another paper over them? What is up with this place? I’m not even sure how much I want to find out… and on top of that, i’m slowing learning that apparently all kids do in Korea is study. 8a to 10p every day, 6 days a week. no wonder they kick america’s butt in studies. BUT, can they drain the 3 when it counts?
