A Year Ago Today
I found this photo of a polaroid I took exactly one year ago today. It’s a picture of Kristy and I at Courtney’s birthday in Gunpo, South Korea. Ahh… good times. (I figure that if you can read Korean, you can know my real name.) Speaking of the lovely Kristy, I got a care package [...]

21. January 2009
I’m leaving in an hour for the The Roots concert – their first performance in Seoul. I’m meeting Ras, Brad, Eddie, and one other at Gwangnaru station (line 5). It’s an expensive show, with general admission at 88,000 won and reserved seating at 110,000, which includes drinks and finger foods. We bought the reserved seats. [...]

8. December 2008
I’ve been busy, to say the least. The last two weeks involved writing English finals and wrapping up the semester by proctoring exams on Friday. In addition, we moved into Seoul over the weekend. The move went relatively well. Upon calling around for a moving company, Ras was quoted 500,000 won because he wanted to [...]

17. November 2008
Since I’m leaving Korea at the beginning of February 2009, Ras has to leave the apartment we’re in now and move into Seoul. He has been commuting from Gunpo into Seoul for the last eight months. This past Saturday Ras and I went apartment hunting in Seoul. (I won’t bore you with places we looked [...]

17. November 2008
Last weekend, a group of us went to see Cirque du Soleil: Alegria. Unfortunately, there are no pictures from the show at all, because the staff were very strict with enforcing the “no picture” rule. I couldn’t even take a picture of our group, in our seats, during intermission. Nonetheless, Kristy, Gisela, and I spent [...]

2. November 2008
In May of this year, I was asked by Joe SeoulPodcast (and ZenKimchi) if I would be a guest on his show. I agreed and we recorded a 2+ hour show on a Wednesday night through Skype. It’s hard to admit, but I never mentioned it on my blog because 1) I don’t like hearing [...]

The guys went as Mexican firefighters – Jos-A (José), Jos-B, and Jos-C. I went as a pirate. Reardon and Barbara (pictured above) went as Hall and Oates.
