It's taking a while to upload, but I'm managing to stay online through a single bar of free wireless reception from someone downstairs. Whoever you are, 'bon3F,' I salute you for your radiowaves of generousity, allowing this young blogger to publish his thoughts.
well, it wound up being more like twenty balloons, but britt biked to the park with these, which i think was pretty impressive.
most people followed the red food rule pretty carefully, with everything from crab-tomato-brie sandwiches…
I was pretty excited to see this week’s Street Photography Now instruction. After a few weeks of rather oblique briefs the explicitness of this one came as a relief. After browsing though some of Otto Snoek’s images I was glad I had a weekend engagement in Itaewon, a notorious neighborhood that becomes particularly surreal and gaudy at night.
I took a photo everyday in March. This was a month heavy on the Korean food and good byes. It is sad that living a life as an English teacher abroad means saying often “good bye” to good people. It is even more sad that it is somehow getting easier.
For some reason my Firefox browser is not on communicative terms with our hospital wireless connection, so I've resorted to blogging with Internet Explorer. It's mildly disconcerting, although not quite as newsworthy as the fact that we're currently sitting in a birthing ward at a maternity clinic in Busan.
We came in at 10pm last night and in between a flurry of medical staff, broadcasted sounds of fetal heartrate and various kinds of saline drip, we've gotten a couple of winks of sleep despite an environment unbecoming of a bedroom.
Since the first expat slang post, a few new phrases of expat slang have been overheard. Add what you know and enjoy!
Keyboard condom (n.) – the thin, plastic-film-like plastic cover found on Korean keyboards. Often taken off the keyboard by Westerns more interested in typing than fighting with a piece of plastic.
I can’t type nearly as fast with the keyboard condom on.
Since moving to South Korea I have met many wonderful people and made a lot of great friends, however, none can compare to the friendship I now share with my rice cooker! I realize that may sound like I have a no friends and am just trying to make up for it with a clever post, but I assure you this is not the case!
Got this from Ahlumdapda's site first, but want to spread the word. An American high school student in Korea, with intentions on making a documentary about the culture here, ends up finding so much more. Watch her video and possibly take part in her cause.
there are more temples here in busan than i could ever muster enough interest to visit in my year-long stint here. most people just hit the big ones, yonggungsa and beomeosa and rave about the particular beauty of the beach temple. any visit to either of these places, you can expect to see a lot of other people, hear a lot of chanting and smell a lot of incense.
