But i digress....
Anyways, i was supposed to get...

Yeah get your ass down here, we'll ply you with good Aussie beerage.
phoebus:
Yeah, everything's cool... but not really.
I'm glad the ROK's treating you well for a change. Funny, I kind of miss the Land of the Morning Calm in a way. More accurately, I miss the idea of being able to do cool things like going to Busan for the weekend... which I couldn't do if I was there... so... yeah.
How's work treating you?

Well i guess it's about time i update this piece eh?
I just haven't really been in a corresponding mood or anything lately....but here goes what's happened in the past few weeks. The short, short version of things as uber long journals are just tedious to read, but i digress.
So i nearly got fired a few weeks back because os my korean supervisor being...

Yeah, Itaewon kinda sucks, but it's close. There are a couple good bars though.
Ya know...i really hate reading about all these cool ass SG events going on that i can't make it to. 
And don't have a snow ball's chance in hell of ever making for the next ten months at least. 
Oh well...i'm out here to live my life and find something of myself so maybe it's for the best. Or maybe not. At times, this place...

Hey, don't let the Land of the Morning Calm get you down. Pretty much everyone I know whose shared in your experience found their year there to be a crucible of sorts. You learn a lot about yourself, your ability to do some pretty assinine things--where both money and people are concerned--and your ability to adapt.
Hell, if I wasn't in penny-pinching mode, I'd volunteer for another tour to knock out the remainder of my contract. But then, the idea of having to go back to base at midnight (lest I turn into a pumpkin and go to jail) kind of sucks.

It really depends on the service. I'm fairly sure that only guys who are in trouble have to sign it/out.
My problem was that, being stationed in Osan/Songtan, there really wasn't much around I could escape to (Pyongtaek not being that much of a hot spot). Yeah, I had my Hongdae weekends (ah, Stompers), but, man, those Sunday hangover bus-rides back to Osan a pain in the ass!

Sinse i haven't bitched about this place in a while, here goes...
Ok, you know how in third world countries, schools are damn near dying for books to give to their kids? Any kind of book whatsoever as long as it's educational?
Yeah, so my school refuses to get books for the children. Instead, they spend rediculous amounts of money on stupid internet ventures (as...

Allright....time for an update eh?
Well things are going pretty ok here in Korea right now. I'm a bit bummer D left, but she did what she had to do and did it her way. And then another good friend of mine out here is leaving in just 3 weeks and that will suck, but i've got other good friends here too.
So this weekend...

Ok peepz.
I'm back from Taiwan and i must say that it was pretty damn great there. The people are so friendly and helpful and chinese is a very pretty language to hear when spoken as opposed to the shoutfest that is Korean. I had a great time and saw many impressive things. From the tallest building in the world to the world's greatest collection...

Um, yeah. You know that asshole that holds the plane up from leaving on time because he's late? I was that asshole yesterday. How was i supposed to know that over 2 hours before a 9am flight wasn't enough???? Fuck...the only reason i made the flight on time was customs took pity on me and actually drove me to my gate.
So i'm in Taipei...
