This catastrophe of Hurricain Katrina is just unreal. I feel so helpless all the way out here. I wish i could go back home and help out in some way, shape or form, but there's nothing i can do except donate money which i will be doing as soon as my new credit card arrives. I feel impotent about this...soooo frustrated and hurting.

I'm with you on this one. 
As soon as I get my student loan next week, I'm going to send some money their way. This is beyond heartbreaking. I wish I could do more.

i know how you feel.
i know how you feel. So, my contract expires the first week of January and now it's time to start thinking about what to do after that point. I've hatched one hell of an ambitious plan from my brain and it goes a little something like this:
Fly from Seoul to Prague and achieve a CELTA Cirtification which would make me fully qualified to teach English in any country in...

hey max great to hear from you. yes rita is on a heading straight to lufkin, however we are about 180 miles inland and actually our town is one of the first designated evacuation points. as a matter of fact the coast guard moved in yesterday to set up their headquarters here until after the storm. stay tuned.........
I have an ear infection. It hurts like a real son of a bitch...and i just used the last of my donated codein. I need to see a doctor tomorrow. First it was in one ear, then that ear got a lot better, but it spread to the other ear. Fuck. Hopefully i'll be able to get some sleep tonight and see the doc later....

I remember Honky Tonks. Cover charges are, unfortunately, a necessary evil to weed out potential customers showing up to just get drunk. Oh well, c'est la vive.
I'm supposed to transition to the Guard around the end of the year, but that's contigent on a deal I'm trying to work out with UNC regarding tuition rates. The plan is to study International Relations and get a cush job at an Embassy in Europe (pref. Greece). Ah, the dreams.

Yeah, I figured they'd eventually go that route. Some clubs had already implemented an informal policy similar to the one you mentioned before I left. It didn't stop my long-haired ass, though. 
I've heard of incidents of the sort you've described--sometimes it was GIs being retarded, and sometimes it was the locals who instigated. It just goes to show you that stupid is a international trait.

Long awaited p;ictures forthcoming in a day or two. Resizing scanned pics is such a pain in the ass 
I often feel like i'm missing out on all kinds of shit back home. But really, when i look at my pics and remember what i've seen, i realize i'm not missing stuff back home, but rather gaining things here. Thinking of it that way makes...

So, sinse my last update i did ride an elephant which was way rad (they're BIG) and i did ride the jet ski. The jet ski was awesome as i got some pretty sweet jumps of about 10-15 feet because of the big waves. BUT, my legs have never been so sore in my ENTIRE life They still...

Pingpong shows are...in a word...mind boggling. Ok, so that's two words, but accurate nonetheless. It's so surreal seeing the things coming out of there. A string of needles neatly arranged onto a pin cushion, a string of RAZOR BLADES

I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well over there. It must be so cool to experience all those different things and see such a change of culture.
Mike thinks that you are dead so maybe you should let him know you are not.

So i'd like to say that our calmness during the Tsunami warning the other night was due to our sheer bravery and heroism...but in fact was the result of being stoned and waiting for our food hehe. Not to worry though, no Tsunami. Apparently they pretty much have to issue a warning every time there's an earthquake anywhere around here.

In a tropical paradise BITCHES! Not bad for a lower middle class kid from the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Phuket is amazing...but the peepz here are like parasites as far as trying to get you to buy shit. Not that i blame them...but saying, "No, thank you," gets more than a bit tiring after an hour or so.

Wow, phuket!!! That is very, very exciting. I've seen some amazing pictures that make me want to visit there. How's the veggie cuisine there? I would imagine better than Korea.
BTW, AC is up and running finally! Woohoo!! Happy Gabriel and happy kitties!

i was sad you didn't come camping! If you see Christmas at all this summer, tell her I said hi!
st_expedite:
Congrats on the negative test results. And yes, I think I'm probably leaving at the end of the month. It's a bit distracting, and I haven't the patience for most of the morons on the boards...
But then again, maybe I'll stay.
