a leaf out of Matt's book.

5 things I've noticed about Seoul:

1. Girls will endure pain for fashion: ie stilletto heels in a hilly city.
2. It's true that girls won't exercize because they don't want muscle: they just want to be slim. (my cousin's girlfriend doesn't want to eat vitamins because she'll get muscular? i don' understand either)
3. The Seoul subway system is super nice... better than the... five systems I've riden before
4. buying a cellphone in korea.... is scary business... there's a department store floor full of people being paid on commision trying to add you to their stats...but the cellphones are super high tech... they make the razr look like a brick
5. relatives will feed you when there's nothing else to do.
6. the showers dont' have curtains.


I was told today I suck at writing in korean.. thus i am in the second of three levels in the program.. yesterday I went around a place called Insadong and would have bought airplne earings made out of wire if my ears were pierced. but they're not.

I like hearing my granmuzzer laugh.

and poor poor korea..... stupid switzerland.

Goin' Home

Day after tomorrow... I'm headed out to the motherland. I really don't know what to expect other than the fact I know i'm going to make a fool of myself simply by opening my mouth... actually..in that regard... not much is different.

I realised this past sunday (if Korea wins this friday and moves on) I'm going to be there during the world cup. it's going to be pretty awesome considering how crazy my people are.

I'll probably post while I'm there... yeah... and e-mail people....

I'll be back... fatter... and FOB-by.

Titles always come last

Berkeley was pretty fun.. despite the demographics being almost 50% asian.. i still managed to make more non-asian friends than asian... yeah... i'm cooool.
Telegraph reminds me of a grittier Boulder. with tye dye tents... and people selling henna... which apparantly people like to get on their breasts.

Korea in about a week.... should be a rockin good time, though I'm staying with my aunt and uncle instead of in a co-op (what is Co-op short for?)

life is good.. golf with Ady this week, possibly teach rabah some more, and let my dad use me as cheap (free) labor.

it's way too hot here.

I got the Harvard Summer Review (the lit mag from the summer sessions) and all the stories have the same tone to them. I guess that's whyI didn't make it.. or why I like to think I didn't make it. oh well...

Thought Vomit

There's a Horcrux in book five

The Sting is excellent (but Robert Redford is hairy)

people are shady

I watch too much TV these days.. makes me lethargic

I'm gonna pick my trumpet back up again

Korea house is coming soon

Trip out to Berkeley even sooner

Lets Whack those balls around, Rabah and Anandi

Lunch? (if I wake up early enough)

I love running my finger across a peice of paper I colored with crayon.

I want more strange Beautiful Corpses on napkins... though the funds aren't great for either of us

we're gonna have to say goodbye sooner or later...

but later yes.

glue stick.. and follow the art crowd

good night.
