Oh Korea

Dang, this is quickly becoming the blog where I post once or twice a month. I'm sorry for the serious lack of posting. Life has still been as exciting as usual however things have become to slow down to the pace where I feel like I am actually living in the city, instead of going around all the time and looking at all the novel new things. However Seoul constantly is surprising me with new and interesting things.

So what exactly have I been up to recently? There were mid-terms that went amazingly well in everything except for Korean, which incidentally had be to withdrawn from :(. There have been the countless lunches/dinners/hang-outs with Korean people who are amazingly nice and fun to be around. There have been the shopping adventures. There was the time when I played soccer with these Korean guys and then they attempted to get me to go to church with them. There were the crazy nights in Itaewon where I got to go into a house party and eat fresh cheese (that wasn't pre-sliced and in plastic). There was the amazing 12th anniversary Seoul GSA party. There was the Halloween party where only the foreigners dressed up and the Koreans just gawked at us. There was the video-art installation of Nam June Paik where I saw the most amazing representation of a giant turtle with tv screens. There have been the countless coffee shops and street wanderings and subsequent random sights.

Actually it has continued to be fairly insane but I am loving every moment of it.
