The Sound of Settling

I am still sitting here figuring this whole thing out. I finally got a suitable color, pink, of course. And for a while it was translating everything I typed into Hindu, one of the languages I definately do NOT know, and so that's fixed as well. I really miss Korea. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the subway... Even the annoying sound of cars all the time. I miss the beautiful view from my bedroom, especially.

This is me after drinking some of the ever popular "rice wine" Soju enjoying a time with some friends in what's called "noraebang" which means singing room. You can sing karaoke for about an hour or if the person working that night likes you, then, a little bit longer. Don't ask what I'm doing.

This is J. Boogie from MTV, my friend Stella and I. I had the opportunity to go to a few clubs with him, Frankie J, Frankie's amazing guitarist Andy Quinn whom I still speak to and Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) from That Seventy's Show with a few of my friends including Stella. A long story I can write about later!

This is one of my friends Ashley and I enjoying some kimbap at a popular place to eat called "kimbap jungoo."

On my friend Vanessa's birthday we decided to take the subway and hit town to do some shopping and get Vanessa's belly button pierced. This is the door that leads from car to car of the subway. Look closely at the reflection on the door and you can see a bunch of probably annoyed koreans sitting quietly as we disrupt their paper readings.

Here is an angle of the apartment I used to live in, I was on the fourteenth floor.

This is a picture of the view I saw from the first apartment we lived in in Korea, as you can see in the distance, there are only apartments. Houses have been diminished and replaced by highrises to accomodate the Korean population. Just in Seoul, there is about 10 million people and it's the fifth largest city in the whole world. You'd think there would be immaculate amounts of crime, but it isn't true here. Nearly half the population of Korea lives in Seoul. The river in this picture is called "Hanggang." I always got really annoyed when someone called it the "Hanggang River" because gang means river. No, it's not pronounced like the way we say gang, like crips or bloods. It's pronounced like "gong."

Another shot of a couple apartments in the complex I lived in.

I can assure you many more pictures to come including some from Korea of course.
