New curtains

It's fun moving to a me country, especially when you don't understand any of the language. We pretty much only understand the words "hi," "bye," "thank you," and "here." So, today when a guy came to measure ours and the kids bedroom for curtains, it was fun trying to communicate. There were lots of hand gestures and cell phones being used. 

We were trying to figure out a color and I think they will be a grayish possibly. When he said "color" he pointed to our bed (our temporary, terrible blanket is a grayish color) and then one of Mary's shirts that was on the floor. Disclaimer: we don't have laundry baskets yet. Anyway, so he pointed to the bed, then his shirt and then did a hand gesture for "half" on iur floor between the two objects. So, I'm not sure if he was saying the color will be halfway between those two colors, or if the color of our flooring is somehow involved. It will be quite the surprise when he comes back on Tuesday. 

            Something like this haha

We went upstairs to measure the kids room while Max was taking a nap. He was very quiet and did everything not to interrupt his sleep. 

    He looked cute so I had to take a pic. 

Anyways, when we left the room, I closed the door and the curtain guy shook his head "no" and did a "no" gesture with his hand and then opened Max's door a little bit and kept it open. I wonder if there is something within their culture, or if it was just the guy, about closing doors like that. He also showed me pics of his son and his grandson and his wife. He was very proud. 

When we left it was pretty funny because as I walked him to the door he looked at me and pointed and said "you..." Followed by a bunch of Korean. So instead he pointed to me and said "you and did an hour glass shape to signify either that I look good for having kids or that he thought I was pretty. He pointed to another house and said with a face of disgust "her ..." And then he gestured "big or fat." Then he asked what sports I play by saying "tennis? Badminton.." So I told him I workout and he said good with a thumbs up haha. 

So, it's possible to communicate haha. I still want to learn the language though. I've been trying a little every night. I recognize some of their letters and I understand how they structure their words now. It's a fun adventure.
