Location, location, vocation






Posts won't be this frequent from here on, but there were a few items I thought needed mentioning.

07/09:
  • Unbelievable. Just found my apartment and the location couldn't be better. 2 minutes from the school, 2 minutes from the subway station.


  • Most impressive is this: some of you know I'm getting back into running (formerly "yogging") and guess what this guy found... behind my apartment is a creek. This creek has trails running on either side of it across Seoul. And these trails are not pavement, but rubber track. My face exploded from smile fury when I saw this. I'm hitting this baby hard tomorrow morning.


  • 8pm - Sitting on my balcony looking at the Seoul North Tower across the Han River. Ask me Wednesday of last week whether I thought I'd be here right now. Kind of surreal.

07/10:
  • Back in Hongdae, will try to retain consciousness this time. Got B-O drunk my first time.


  • 3:30am at the bar, and who's watching the Germany game after all? This guy. Suck my crossbar, Suarez.
07/11:
  • No idea what I just ate. I really hope it wasn't a domestic animal. Neat experience ordering food alone in a foreign language. Will know in an hour whether this was a good idea.

  • Found a guitar store. Watch out.

  • Gonna need to learn to sit cross-legged comfortably, and soon. The Korean that invented the table died before he could invent the chair. True story.


  • The accepted alternative to standing is the "pop-a-squat". I give myself three weeks to catch a pic of a squatter in a compromising position that resembles a teabagging. Game on.
07/12:
  • First day shadowing teachers in class. These kids have crazy energy. Someone should slip some soju in their lunch beverages, and we'd all have a quieter day. I jest.

  • Settled into a decent routine. Did 4k down the creek this morning, came home to shower and change, then grabbed breakfast at the cafe on the corner. Made it to work 15mins early, too.
