So we're back. If little Caroline from Poltergeist had been Korean, we'd be the crux of her warning. We've already assimilated to our foreign ways: sitting in front of 7/11 drinking beers and watching all of the horrible fashion and hilarious t-shirts printed with bad Engrish stroll by as they look at us with quizzical stares. But we don't mind at all being the center of their attention. Random photo shoots with groups of Koreans enthralled by white faces only seem to bolster our confidence even more. And who wouldn't kick it in front of sevey drinking beers in the US if they only could? The woman behind the counter was rather impressed with my ability to use her scissors as a bottle opener. Yes, they do allow you to open your cold beverages on the spot. The weather is hot and sticky, but the air-con is blaring and the internet is fast. We're staying in a small hotel room currently, but tomorrow we'll be moving into our new flat and will quickly start our home building. Our former allusions of living on the beach have been flouted, but our take is that living in the city center will be much more amusing as well as easier on our daily commutes. K-Town is a barrel of monkeys and makes your average circus seem lame. We already have numerous ideas to spread the humor we experience daily in this far off land. Prepare yourselves for blogs on funny t-shirts/bad fashion, what's in our fridge, and whatever other wacky ideas we come up with to amuse ourselves as well as
you while we prepare for an ever growing world of Asian culture. We miss you all but hope with all our hearts that some of you will be able to come and experience some of the K-town flair (they would never imagine using only the minimum amount; TGI Fridays is Shotsky's on crack out here). So, I'll leave it at that for now. Just know the future is a funny place.
