Today is the mandu-making with the multicultural center. We set out for the place around 9:45 then headed back around 1:30. We filled up lots of mandu wrappers among the 16 migrant women who showed up to help the other Korean women who did most of the work. The ingredients were all chopped up when we got there and they were still boiling the newly-made mandus when we left.
I would have stayed and helped til everything was finished if I had only known it would be that much. I've seen two big basins of mandu mixed and made today. Amazing. I hope to see the kimchi-making this coming fall.
We got back to downtown at almost two o'clock and I headed to the Dong office to get the document for me to open a Multicultural Acct. I had to pay two grand for 2 copies of that. I was surprised coz last time, it only cost about half of that for another kind of document. It was pretty funny how these things work. Another thing that I find surprising was I was able to pay with a debit card. A bit embarrassing not to have any paper bills in my wallet but the card works.
After I got the document, I stopped by the ATM to withdraw some cash before heading to the bank. When I got there, I had to withdraw again to put in the initial deposit for the special savings account. I managed to accomplish what I came for: opening the special savings account and a dollar account. It turns out that my previous dollar account can still be resurrected and I just have to get a replacement for the lost bank book. This were all done through Korean and typed in translation in the teller's mobile phone. I finally accomplished the banking thing so it's time to head back home.
I managed to pack two boxes of P' English books today. I am really trying to get ahead in this packing things to lessen the stress around the moving day. Hopefully, I'll manage to get some more packing and cleaning tomorrow.
