Cold, Colour, and Korean Film

Today was really cold, and I didn't expect that when I walked this morning. Enough time to walk to the backery first, to buy schoko croissant - my favorite breakfast in the bus. The bus came late as usual (until 10 minutes late), really not a tipical German way. I don't know until now, what makes it's always late. Is it because of the weather so the driver has to drive slowly? Not really. It's not raining, even no snow at all. Is it too cold? Or because lots of students taking that bus every morning? I saw several times, the bus was full of students, I guess from the neighbourhood villages. Then it took always long time until all of them got off..

Back to the cold weather.
It reminds me how difficult to make friends with locals. No, they're not that cold, perhaps they just don't get use to know how to make friend with strangers they meet. I thought it's only my problem, but even an au-pair who can speak local language fluently said the same.

Speaking about locals, I think it's the time now to say enough to eat always local food every day in the canteen. Lately I often lose my appetit. The food tasted so plain, very often with cream (creamy soup, creamy sauce, etc), and of course without chili favour at all (which sometimes I need it - to keep me awake -).

At last, I don't know whether there's any correlation between how the people here see their food and how they see the colour. Last Friday I just got little argumentation with my boss in a meeting, just because I used a bit bright colours in my file (they're really not bright colours, but still it looked colourful), and he didn't like to see those colourful things. For me, those colours just helped me to mark some things easily. But they're not to him. For him it's better to see one strong plain colour than many colours. Want to know the conclusion? The different cultures we have. Asian like colourful things, while Europes don't (but I guess it's especially Germans). At that time I little disagreed. But after yesterday I saw the classical design of kukuk clock in the black forest, now I admit it. Why? The classical design has always one colour (the colour of the wood: brown) with strong pattern of carving (hunting, birds, or.. hmm I forget :( ) - which sometimes I found it so plain.. - remind me of the food again - though it's actually beautiful.
Ok, now at least I can understand my boss and people here. We're just different, so just accept it as it is.

Last, about differences, I just saw two movies with same stories. One is Korean, the other is American. One story, two different results. Some people think Korean version is better than American, while others think the other way around. At the end I think both cannot be compared. Again, they're just different..
