oi to the world

so the weekend was ok.. i've been fighting off yet another cold.. i again blame the children, although this time the yellow dust may be to blame.. apparantly korea gets a good handful of this yellow dust from china each year.. they actually have yellow dust, air quality warnings.. i have not seen any yellow dust, maybe i'm oblivious, all the same i'm getting sick.. so friday night i went to watch marla sing for a bit.. that was aight.. saturday i hung out downtown, did some shopping.. i've been looking for some new sneakers.. i may be ready to stray from my shelltoes, but i can't find this amazing shoe store to save my life.. downtown is basically a labrynth.. and with my sense of direction it's basically a lost cause.. so i got indian food, a couple of tshirts and went to careys to watch a movie, where i fell asleep at around 10 pm.. i woke up when the movie finished to go home and sleep some more.. today i woke up to meet a friend downtown again for some food.. we caught up, it was nice.. after that i was walking around alone, and stumbled across a rock/ punk (but i say more rock) festival.. it was awesome.. i was the only foreigner for as far as i could see.. i got to listen to some tunes which were alright.. alright until this band tried to sing sk8er boi (seriously) and the only redeeming feature was that they got ALL the words wrong.. so i went and bought some cds (i'm always looking for good korean music).. it may be able to hold me over until i can get to call the office in august..

you can tell that it's pretty much summer here because downtown is CRAZY busy.. you can barely put one foot infront of the other.. and they're giving out free samples like it's going out of style.. there were tons of people waiting in line for free soju (seriously, it's 80cents a bottle, go to the store) and free milk (this i don't really understand)..

so my weekend is over and i didn't really do much, but i got some much needed rest.. tomorrow it's back to the same old, but i'll hopefully fit in a hike somewhere..

i'm off to clean my apartment now..

peace

ps- to mom : thanks for bestowing the gift of life unto me.. you rock (for other reasons too)
