I'm alive. I have been sick for a couple weeks and very busy with school and a special project.
I am going to take you on a quick trip backwards through time. This is starting about a month ago and going back to the last post.
here we go:
On the real Halloween day, we went to an area of Seoul looking for Halloween parties and ended up at an empty bar that serves "Soju Kettles" which is Sugar and Soju in a cut off soda bottle:
A couple days before that I took part in the circuit bending challenge! It was a lot of fun. I found out in November that I was one of the winners!
The weekend before Halloween was a little more happenin' than Halloween. I got a lot of good reactions from people.
Renae was shiny!
Alien on the Subway!!!!!!
Jesus has a store in the mall:
This is my new makeshift studio:
Renae bought me a bike for my birthday and it rocks!
It has a generator for the headlight!
My bed with awesome blankets and a new friend.
I wore shorts at our school's Halloween party (the Friday before Halloween)
so I wouldn't expose myself to the kids.
Some of my kids at the party:
Cool street art:
Robots outside a public bathroom:
Murals in a walkway under the street.
This is Brett from the Drum Festival.
This week in November is his last week here.
He gave me an awesome cd he made and maple syrup!
This doesn't make me want to take the stairs.
The Korean bathhouse gave me my man clothes!
Its a nice place to relax and soak in different herb water of different temps.
You can sleep there too. It is cheaper than a cab home.
Unfortunately this one wasn't working properly and smoke was getting to us.
We left at 5a.m. and unsuccessfully tried to get soft pretzels before boarding the early morning subway. Also, I got a pimpin' hat for my pimp suit.
I didn't go to this place.
But I played my guitar in an awesome club of rockin' Koreans that welcomed Renae Brett Coreen and I with beer and awesomeness.
Cool store that I didn't go into:
Cool store that I did go into:
This was awesome. The girl running the store had a cat.
I have been obsessing with only one TV show: Heroes.
I think it's cause I feel like the world needs saving.
She was watching Heroes when we went in.
I was so happy. The store was also happifying.
There is a lot of awesome handmade stuff in there!
More cool ad/street art.
These are cool in my book. They are awesome and for independent stores.
Some of my homeroom kids before a bday 'party'
We had one today. It is mostly an opportunity to force cute pictures on the kids.
Birthdays aren't really fun but you get a lot of awesome food!
That just about catches us up, although I have no idea what you are up to. Send me an email or some snail mail. I have received 3 letters so far and they have made me very happy. Thank you so much. As soon as I can jump out of school to go to the post office a lot of you will be getting something in the mail and I will be broke again.
The next couple of posts should catch up to present time. Not a lot has happened due to my illness. I am much better now.
If you want to find info on the circuit bending challenge go to the where here meets there blog.
If you want to find out about the awesome music of Brett's band go to tongue and groove's site.
Also, with December coming up, I have been here almost 3 months! That is 1/4 of a year!
I am 25% done my contracted time here! Don't worry, I'll be back after that. I have to...
My Dad get married in September next year! See you in another 75% everyone! -- just think of me as a really long, but very worth it, download on an old 28.8k modem! wooooo those things could fly! I also need to get away from the computer (did i just call myself a download?) you wish it were that easy! so do i sometimes. peace and love.
