Today’s my birthday. Yeah! Thanks to everyone who left nice birthday wishes for me. I’m in an Itaewon PC bang, and had to look up Allison’s cell phone in my emails, so I could call her for dinner. This morning, Ras, Reardon, Kevin, and I had brunch at Suji’s, which was excellent! I then went [...]

I’ve been keeping a diary since I could practically write. Of course, you don’t want to share EVERYTHING with the world. You [...]

Ras has been in Korea for about a week now, and spent a couple days catching up with friends in Kangneung. I received this from him today: i’m in myongdong with reardon right now, watching crazy ajumas overturning a street vendor’s table. good stuff. I hope Reardon is a little more cautious, or THIS could [...]
