last night i went out with some of my coworkers. that guy is my principle. he is pretty nice. they went easy on me and dropped me off at my apt around 9, whilst they went to another bar. we took a walk on this stream that runs through seoul and has shops all up and down it above, on the street.
it was actually kind of stressful because i couldn't understand what was going on most of the time. ive been learning how to accept the fact that i never know what is going on until it happens. and even then i usually didn't feel like i grasped half of what the heck was going on. i felt like that last night. we were all just following the principle around to different restaurants and sit-down-kisok-style restarants. i had no idea what i was ever eating. i think i ate and drank about 15 different things. those red cylinders were a rice cake kind of thing that was tasty. i had the chance to eat some pigs feet (pictured) but figured i had tried enough for one night. we sat down at one place that only served raw fish. i don't know what half the stuff was but i know i ate octopus, eel, and the little fish that are in the blue tank below. something else looked like snapper or grouper.
re pictures it is really popular to throw up 2 fingers whenever one is posing for a picture. its not a peace sign, and i don't know why they do it. and before you get your hopes up, i am not dating or plan to date that girl sitting really close to me. i think she thought she was out of frame. and you can stop rubbing your eyes. thats really is a new shirt my mom got me.
and while im here i was watching tv the other day and saw a sport that is like volleyball but with no net and you couldn't use your hand. think roundhouse kickspikes. and there are not one, but 2 channels devoted to gaming, and by that i mean the show only shows the screen of people playing in tournaments. there are only two games i have seen played. one is a first person shooter i have never seen before, and the other is the national sport of korea, starcraft.

Phew!!!

You had me worried there for a moment as that was the first picture I saw when I went to the blog. I was thinking....sheesh, that was fast.

Maybe the sign they are making is V for Victory? Like Winston Churchill?

before i even finished reading your post, i commented to jason on your clothing. i said, "look how cute will looks." jason of course replied with some loser remark. but then i finished reading about how your mom got you that shirt and everything made sense.
