Festival in Songtan
Last Sunday was spent in Songtan, at the Korean/American Friendship Festival… or was it Cultural Festival? I can’t remember. We were supposed to meet Greg, his wife, and her sister around noon. We drove down a little earlier to visit a tailor shop and get some things made. Ras put in an order for two [...]

17. October 2007
It’s been a pretty easy week so far, with it being midterm week. I don’t have regular classes, and my only obligation is teaching for 2 1/2 hours a day from Monday through Thursday. Needless to say, I’m loving it. This morning, Ras and I went to Yongsan to do some shopping. He needed to [...]

8. October 2007
Nathan’s party on Friday turned out to be fun and surprising. Honestly, with him being a single guy, I wasn’t expecting much food at the party. I mean, my Korean name is “Mi Hung-ri,” after all. I made sure to eat before getting there, and we brought our own alcohol. We met up with Bart [...]

That’s how Nathan pronounces “ajumma” and “ajoshi.” In all my time here, I’ve never heard “ah-jush-she” pronounced “a-josh-ee.” I’ve got to start using that more often. Anyway, we’re getting reading for Nathan’s party tonight. Using a 3,000 won limit, I went out and bought the tackiest shirt I could find. It’s a mesh-like material and [...]

After work last night, Ras, Bart, Dave, and I drove down to Ansan to get some dinner. Bart used to live there and said there were some pretty good foreign restaurants. One he heard of, but had never tried, was the Taj Mahal. Traffic was kind of heavy around 7pm, and it took us over [...]

On Friday night, Ras and I drove down to Suwon and hung out with Jenay and some of her friends. We had some drinks at her place and then went out for dinner at a tofu house. Jenay, Hye-sun, Hye-jun (sisters), Ben, Ras, and I walked to the restaurant and had bosam and tofu. A [...]

He doesn’t write me often, since I usually see him anyway, but when he does, it’s pretty funny. Names have been erased for their protection but I’m sure you can figure out who it is. Jack*sses Everywhere jack*sses. Thanks for reminding me of your jack*ss boyfriend’s day of emergent jack*ssedness. He had neglected to remind [...]

This is one of the pictures I took during Peter and Soona’s wedding this past Thursday. Right now they’re on their honeymoon in Hawaii. I wonder how sunburned Peter will be when he returns next week.

9. May 2007
Tomorrow is the university’s birthday, so all the students and teachers have the day off. My co-worker Peter decided to take advantage of the day and have his wedding tomorrow. Next week is our “festival week,” so that’s when he’s going on his honeymoon. His future wife is a stewardess for Korean Airlines, so his [...]
