Today, I had lunch with my conversation partner, Jihun. We met up at the CIES building and walked over to the student union. We each got Papa John's pizza. Jihun said Papa John's were rare in Korea (I was surprised they had them at all) but he said there is a Domino's on every corner. He also told me about a jiu jitsu competition he was going to in Miami during the weekend so we chatted about that for a little bit.
When we were done eating, Jihun asked me if I could help him mail something...to Canada. I told him I had no idea how to ship something internationally but that we could figure it out together. I tried to use my phone to look up how much it would cost; all I could find was an estimate from the Post Office of $35, which is a lot to ship a couple of papers. So we walked over to the UPS store on campus and asked the man at the desk to help us out. He walked us through it and I showed Jihun how to address and envelope. As it turned out, UPS only charged like 5 bucks to ship the envelope, so we lucked out. Jihun was glad to learn how to address an envelope in America.
