No Flu and No YouTube

Wednesday was a day of have-nots for BFF-Heather and I.

Korea loves Swine Flu. Much like America assumes innocence until proven guilty, Korea assumes Swine Flu contamination until proven healthy.

I woke up Wednesday morning not knowing that I would be taking a trip to the doctor's office that day. I learned about it through a Facebook status update from BFF-Heather followed by a phone call to said BFF-Heather.

She said, "Yes. We are infected."

I said, "Crap. We are going to die."

So anyways, BFF-Heather, myself, and the rest of the foreign teachers at our school took a field trip to the doctor's office in the middle of the day to have our temperature taken, blood pressure checked, and an x-ray zapped.

As it turns out, I am not as healthy as the rest of my foreign cohorts. I have slightly high blood pressure and need to lose weight (That means no more Cheese Donkassa --- if a cheese donkassa doesn't give me a heart attack, the news that I can't eat one anymore will!). The other teachers are as healthy as a quite healthy person. The x-ray proved that all of our bones were indeed intact.

Also, we don't have Swine Flu.

Now what's the other 'have-not'? I'll tell you what it is: YouTube. As it turns out, Korea is lacking in a fundamental component of YouTube.

BFF-Heather and I filmed our experience with the plan of allowing y'all the chance to see what we got to experience. Everything was going fine with the project until I tried to upload the video onto YouTube. It was then that I discovered that users in Korea cannot upload videos onto YouTube. I was quite disappointed. I may as well have the Swine Flu. What's the point anymore?
