 Let's set it straight - Is the country Laos or Lao?Here's the answer This week... Things that make me happy
Movies I've seen this month
What they're saying about me
"She's a nut! Not too sure how else to describe an "at-first-glance" seemingly quiet girl who dances like a chicken when she thinks no one else is looking, who likes to pass off her "made up" answer for fact, until you look at her and see her hopelessly trying not to crack a smile, who WITHOUT FAIL remembers to put a line of dental floss in her purse before she goes out (and isn't afraid to use it after dinner, thankfully NOT at the table!!). I can always count on her to know the hottest hollywood gossip, and to dance till all hours of the morning with me." "My co-worker just told me that there was a premiere for Bridget Jones 2 last night, just blocks from my work, and we missed it! Hugh Grant, my beloved and the framework upon which my future husband is based, was just blocks away, breathing the same oxygen, and I missed it! If I had a friend here who was as savvy with E-news as you are, this catastrophe would never have occurred!" Guess what I heard... Oh my god!! This donut is so good! - Ras about a Krispy Kreme donut "I want to do! But what is paintball? There is no such word in dictionary." - Suwa, Japanese teacher "I am now skipping church to see if I am going to win my bids!!!" "YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.....I won the felt tip pens!!!!!!!! Yippeee...."who let the dogs out...arf, arf, arf, arf"...."let me hear you say Y..M..C..A"....oh yah, who's your daddy!!!" - Renee Other favorite quotes:
A gift is an offering. A selfless act that adds something to someone's life. Something that they need. Have you ever walked by something and you just had this feeling that someone you knew would absolutely love it? Faith is believing when there is no rational reason to believe. Homer: "We Americans are England's children... I know we don't call as much as we should, or aren't as well behaved as our goody two shoes brother, Canada... who I should mention has never had a girlfriend... I'm just sayin'..." Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love should not be one of them. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. When your heart speaks, take good notes. Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Sometimes to see the light, you have to risk the dark. |
My feet are tired
2/27/2004
I'm sitting here at the guesthouse, resting a little before I go out. It's another Club Night, but I'm not as pumped up about it as last month. I'm tired today... I slept on the bus to Seoul, was falling asleep on the subway, and really contemplated taking a nap before going out tonight. Once I get out there, it'll be a lot of fun, like it was last month. Today, I had grand plans of going to Lotte World, Namsan Tower, and the aquarium at COEX Mall. I only accomplished the last one. I thought there weren't going to be as many people out today, since it was a workweek, but there were the same amount of people out as during the weekend. Don't these people work?!? Well, I do have to remember, some women are housewives, and students are still on vacation. You'd think that travelling by subway would be fast, but it's still slow, with all the walking and transferring. Like I always say, I like to visit Seoul during the weekends, but I'm happy I don't live there. There's just something about it... I could happily live in a metropolitan city like New York or Barcelona, but Seoul lacks the coolness factor that would counter act the hassles of living in a large city. Yes, Barcelona (or Barthelona, as the locals pronounce it) is an AWESOME city!
Anyway, the aquarium was cool. One might wonder if it's worth the 14,500 won entrance fee, but it's a nice splurge. They had a lot of sharks, and some of the fish were amazingly beautiful. While there, I was going to see a movie. The ticket line for movies was one floor down. So I looked over the balcony to see how long the line was. I'm not good with estimating, but I would say it was at least 30 minutes. I had never seen a movie in Seoul, and figured that the wait might be worth it, to sit in a better theater than the ones in Kangneung. Plus, it wasn't like I had any pressing matters to attend to. I went down the stairs to find the end of the line. Once at the bottom, I found that there were the same number of people waiting BEHIND the stairs! My god, an hour wait to buy movie tickets! That's when I gave up. The COEX movie theater really looks like a cool place, but I'd recommend catching a matinee, or having lots of patience.
