I've never been one to buy a fancy phone! Most of you know I actually hate talking on the phone in general and the idea of having a phone to show off just didn't ever really matter to me... but after Aaron convinced me that it would be the greatest purchase I would ever make, I gave in and got one! We both did actually!
It was an added blessing that my co teacher Okk offered to do some research for us and found a company that would give us (foreigners with an E-2 visa) the same plan as Korean nationals! Usually they make foreigners pay up front for the phone - about $800 (a huge inflation from American prices)! So, with a fairly inexpensive plan and an extremely good discount on the price of the phone, we walked away new iphone owners!
What did I do this morning on my walk to work, you ask?
Oh, no big deal... I just called my mom on video skype, FROM MY PHONE!!
How crazy awesome is technology! I love it!
