I know that I have been lacking in the blogging department and I know how much everyone craves to read my next blog so I apologize a million times. It's just so hard to blog when you're busy shaping the leaders of tomorrow. But I guess it is only fair for me to take a few minutes to feed the masses with my beautiful literature.
Since my last post about Chuseok, I have been getting busy. I have been starting to gather some early Christmas presents for my friends and family, if you're reading this you're probably not going to get anything, which has been really fun. I love going to the different markets and seeing what hidden treasures I can find for everyone, maybe now I am starting to really get the feel for the whole "it's better to give than receive" thing. I have also decided to shave my head and become a Buddhist monk. I will not be returning to America ever, nice knowing all of you.
No I'm just kidding, I think it would be wild and an incredible journey of enlightenment but I for one don't think I have the patience to do so much inner evaluation. But on a serious note I did get to check out some pretty cool stuff last Saturday. I went to the HiSeoulfest, this festival is put on a few times a year and brings together all people from Seoul to experience non verbal performing arts from different cultures around the world. And even though it rained most of the afternoon I still got to see some pretty amazing stuff and I plan on catching the closing ceremony on Sunday. Be sure to check out the pics on facebook they'll be hot fo' sho'.
I also went to a pretty serious alt party this past weekend. I was invited by a friend of mine and I met him down under a bridge where they had set up lots of indie stuff. We're talking abstract art, graffiti, eccentric music, and skin tight jeans. I felt like I was in Brooklyn. All joking aside it was actually a pretty fun party, I met some cool people and got to see some of the underground scene that you might only be able to experience in a big city like Seoul. I will totally be interested in going to another one of these shindigs in future.
In closing I guess I will briefly reflect on my time here and just reiterate how much I have enjoyed living here. Even though things are slowing down and I have found myself settling into a routine there is always some new right around the corner, be it new people, new experiences, or just a new way to look at things. Can't believe I'm already two months through. Until next time...
p.s. that picture is from my rooftop and I thought it was a pretty badass view.
