Bike

Sold my bike, got about $400.00 for it. I hope those suckers don't read my blog.

Die Hard

I was watching Die Hard last night on Korean T.V., the first one, not one of the sequels. During the movie gunfire would become silent. The voices and background noise were the same, but there would be no sound for the gunfire.
Korean T.V. has a strange editing system, they won't edit sex scenes or foul language, but they will delete some violence. They can make Kill Bill vol.1 look tame. The Koreans do this with the cunning use of blur and cuts. What they can't cut, do to story consistency, they will blur. It is fun with a movie you have previously seen. Knowing the scenes that are graphic and wondering what they will edit next. Sometimes they don't cut or blur anything, I don't understand the logic behind it. They have about four channels that play the same American movies like clockwork. I have seen that piece of shit movie, Troy, on daily. Yes, this is the caliber of movies that are played in Korea. I actually really like the first Die Hard though.

Off

Off to the Race Tracks.
We won on every Race we Bet on. We left up nine whole dollars. Fuck Yeah.

Autobike

Here is a couple pictures of the motorcycle, Konglish = Autobike.

Oh yeah, here are our gay ass helmets.

Illegal

So, I have been riding my motorcycle around for about two months, with no license plate or Korean drivers license. I only had one run in with the cops and he saw that I wasn't Korean and instantly let me go. I don't think the cop I witnessed patrolling traffic last night would have done the same.

This cop was so proud of being a cop, just like those people at your job that have a false sense of power when they tell you what to do. This guy had the stance and the attitude of a man who is very satisfied with himself. Very good posture with a wide stance, sharp movements with sternness all over his face. The reason he was so impressive, was that he was pulling over speeding vehicles while he was on foot. I guess you had to see it.

On the roads they set up random road blocks, I assume to check for drunk drivers.
Anyhow, I am getting my license and license plate this week.

a week ago

A week ago, I ate the most pork any human has eaten in one day. I feel a little disgusted, but mostly proud.

WORDING

Here are a couple of things that have an unusual grammar structure.


The orange juice had this written on it to ensure the quality







They needed to fix the air conditioner at my ENGLISH school, so they put up this warning on every a/c control panel.










Any time you want to leave the subway you have this description of leaving.

Blender

This doesn't pertain to Korea, but I saw this blender turn marbles into glass dust on Willitblend.com. I was curious, so I went to the web site of the blender's manufacturer. You have to check out the demonstrations. I love this guy, he is sooooo awkward it is hard to watch. I also love how he tells you that he had made a joke before you realize he is even telling a joke. It is priceless. If you have some spare time, check it out.

THe MounTain

We climbed the Tallest mountain in Seoul two weekends ago. My calf's hurt the whole week. We drank SoJu at the top and stumbled our way down. Then we got lost in the city on the bike for four fucking hours. We were tired, cold, and frustrated. I somehow got onto the expressway, just like Texas, some roads just turn into the expressway without warning.

Yes, we had a map, for all the smart asses who will email me that question. I can't talk about this anymore, it's too painful.

Motel

We stayed at a love motel when we got here. We felt at home when we saw this on the bathroom door. Sarongs are fun!

Kindy

These are my Kindergarten students, I love and hate them at the same time. They are quiet familiar with the smell of cigarettes and cheap booze.
I have two different Kindergarten classes, and eight more classes that are from first grade to eighth grade. A teacher pulled a disappearing act a last week, I have to take two of his classes for a month. We don't get another teacher until the end of November, it fucking sucks. I thought we worked long hours already. We are thinking of changing schools.

REALLY?

My kindergarten students like to give gifts randomly to their teachers. I received this gem in disbelief. Apparently, it is a children's character here, the character has it own line of candy. What the Fuck?
