The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Friday, January 9, 2009. Chapter 9: Over the Hump. Has not, in fact, perished. He has just been very busy. Festivals, snowboarding, essay grading, essay writing, essay revising, application making, and some work as well. I do earn my paycheck. Occasionally. On Wednesdays, anyway. So stay your concerns, unless they are in the form of cookie-laden care packages. (No raisins! CAPS = me speaking korean. italics. Korean person speaking korean.].

The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Thursday, November 13, 2008. Chapter 7: Caveat Lector. Finds himself in a bit of a predicament, the likes of which may only be appreciated by the more videogamerish among you: buy the Nintendo DS or the Playstation PSP? It'll be programmed in Korean. The upside? I'll have a real reason to learn Korean. Anywho, I'm at work, done preparing today's lessons, and in between classes at the moment. I've spent the past thirty minutes catching up ...

The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Saturday, July 12, 2008. Chapter 4: Veni, Vidi, Vegged-i. For now, you sorry sedentaries get to hear about my amazingly relaxing 5-day weekend. It was. lethargy at its pinnacle. What did I do? I ate I slept. I watched bootlegged DVDs. Kung Fu Panda [or it's Eastern Brother Кунг-Фу Панда] was of amazing quality, both Movie- and bootleg-wise. Kudos to Dreamworks, and the Black Market for making this viewing possible. Imbibing non-crappy beer at...

The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Chapter 6: I Need A Montage! I'm lazy. On the other hand, you're getting this for free. So who's really the lazy one? Ok it's me, as evidenced by the utter lack of pictures accompanying this post. Mea Culpa, I'll do better next time. Let's talk about something that happened awhile back, the pictures of which are blurred beyond the awesome powers of Adobe: the Seoul Drum Festival. A: Sleep-deprived Korean kids.

The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Chapter 3: Caveat Vendor. Rejoin Our Hero - gag rule on any "rejoinder" rejoinders. dang! As he further contemplates his new life. For one thing, the internets are still owning me, instead of the other way 'round. That should all change next week, though, when I get my green card thingy. Then the tubes shall open, and their vast, interconnected series shall bow to my whim. In a country where elevators talk, subway cars ...

I've been on two photolicious trips since last time I posted, and those photos are forthcoming. For now, content yourselves with the following, less adventurous problems of Our Hero, and perhaps glean from it that he is settling into this strange land with some success. Spaghetti in a styrofoam bowl. Korea magically infuses the resulting powder with hot'n'spicy, ...

The Beast in the East. The Misadventures of Our Hero in Korea. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. The first small bump. Hello and welcome to the first episode in what promises to be a long, drawn-out, shark-jumptastic serial program!

Grand Hotel in Koreatown, watching Korean soaps (with subtitles) and pondering my life choices. Links to this post. Thursday, May 15, 2008.
