toothpaste

before i came here, i decided that i would buy a new tube of toothpaste.
i was in whole foods, so they have all this organic toothpaste.

i saw that the brand i wanted had two flavors, "peppermint" and "anise". i was going to just grab peppermint, but at the last moment i decided to try something new, and go with mister "anise".
So i arrived in korea and enthusiastically tried out my new toothpaste which was very interesting because it tasted like licorice. kinda weird but whatever, it's not really an issue.
except for i could never quite get that fresh minty feeling you love after brushing your teeth.

The first few days here i had a massive amount of free time, which was actually really nice. by massive amount, i mean like over seventy two hours straight of anything i wished. so one of these days i had just finished eating my snack of licorice allsorts that i had brought from america, and feeling a little bored around midday. and I thought, perhaps i could go outside and take a little walk. or maybe i could take a nap.
but, ehh if i take a nap, i'll want to brush my teeth first. and I don't really want to brush my teeth, because i just ate licorice, you know?
but wait one second!
my toothpaste is licorice flavored!
so it won't clash with my current taste!

okay, so i will brush my teeth and take a nap.
and that is exactly what i did.
and it was one of the most glorious, and the most interesting nap i think i've had.
and also during that nap i met someone interesting that i wouldn't have if i hadn't been in my room.
isn't it interesting how so many things are caused by something so small?
i like licorice.
