This is the week that I'm supposed to sign my contract extension. This is the weekend that I lost my Alien Card. These are not compatible events. I seem to think I need one thing for the other to process. It will work itself out, as these thing do.
Why extend my stay in a place where I have previously stated that I no longer want to be? The alternative, Ontario in January, is balls. Cold. Inhospitable. Few places hiring. Even the temp agencies are dried up at that time. March. I can tolerate March. It will probably still snow, because Ontario's bitchy like that, but it could be worse: January. My most hated month comes to Busan, too, so this isn't my only reason. There's also the obvious: I don't actually hate it here. I merely hate many, many things about Here. That's the story Anywhere.
The Plan is to return to Ontario in March. For a month. Then, once I've properly healed, I'll be ready to resume a love-hate relationship with Somewhere Else. I'm thinking Japan, Turkey, or Oman.

Orering a pizza consists of saying
1) your address (If you don't know it, I can't help you there.)
2) the kind and size of pizza you want (which are usually all English words)
3) saying "credit card" or "no credit card" (The word "no" is generally understood if it's too much to remember the word "hyeongeum" (cash)
4) saying "no" when they ask you if you want anything else.
And remember to be grateful for whatever pizza lands on your doorstep, because any screw up with your order will be entirely your fault.
Good luck.

Anon - Thanks for the tips.
I've accepted that 99% of screw ups that happen at the service counter here are my fault. The remaining 1% belongs to the mumbling guy at McDonalds. He is not my fault.
