Oh Goldilocks, Where Shall you Rest?
This is my bed. Isn’t
it adorable? After sleeping on a couch
for a month back home, I thought I would be overjoyed to sleep in a normal bed
once again. Not to say that the couch
wasn’t comfortable, on the contrary. It was too soft. To the point that I would become enveloped in
its cushions every night and would slide into the back crease so that I would
have to wrestle my way back to the surface in the morning. So after a long day of travelling I am shown
my new flat and see this precious little bed.
After a little encouragement from the school director to have a rest
despite my remarks that I was full of energy I finally caved and jumped into
bed, literally. And to my
disappointment, everything that I had read about Korean beds was accurate. It is definitely comparable to sleeping on a
rock. Even tenting when camping provides
an opportunity to wiggle my limbs into a crease of the earth. This cute little bed was false advertising
that swept me in with its promise of coziness and instead provided me with an
evening of shifting and sliding to find the perfect position that would avoid
my left shoulder, provide neck support, and allow for a few hours of
sleep. I awoke many times during the
evening and forced myself to sleep until sunrise and then napped once more
until I nearly suffocated under the covers due to the sun beaming down on
me. So though I did manage to find a
somewhat comfortable position, I must still ask myself…how does this Goldilocks
make her bed into one that is just right…???
She didn't. she chose to sleep in someone else's.
