The city that only sleeps in the morning

We are slowly adjusting to the time change. I woke up at 3, 4, 5, and finally got up at 6am. We tried to walk around at 10am and hardly anything was open and it was so queit. People stay out really late and sleep in late here. Today we experienced heavy monsoon rains and long stop and go traffic. Each family is only allowed one car and the streets and freeways are crowded. We went to get water and pizza for the cast at Costco( yes the American Costco except that everything is marked up). In the parking lot we saw two ladies trying to push a car and ran over thinking something bad was happening. They just park the cars in neutral and if you need to leave you just move the cars in your way. lol We must have looked pretty funny trying to "help". We met the cast and choreographer today. They are friendly, energetic, and passionate. We did a jazz class and learned a combination. The choreographer doesn't know alot of English so the class conducted in Korean. Its neat to learn to count and pick up words here and there in Korean. I've always said dance is a universal language and have taught it to many different cultures, but I'm enjoying being on the other side and gaining a new perspective. :)
