Check out what I'm doing at my other blog: www.lao-ocean.blogs.com http://lao-ocean.blogdrive.com/comments?id=233 http://lao-ocean.blogdrive.com/archive/232.html Thu, 27 Jan 2005 17:27:32 GMT In order to procrastinate from packing for my trip, I somehow got sidetracked to updating my blog. I've been meaning to do that for a couple of months now, because the blog isn't streamlined enough for me. The HTML was starting to get time consuming, and I wanted to fix some bugs in the system. During the course of the last two days, I've realized that most people come to my website go directly to my blog. Therefore, I've decided to re-organize everything and make my blog the main page. It's a little rushed, but I wanted to announce that I'm changing the location of my blog. Please...

I endedup on Vagabonding.com and a travelogue entry concerning Laos caught my eye. I thought of Glyn and Kiran, who were meeting up again in Thailand for a day or so. Glyn had already visited Laos, and Kiran is heading there now. Most of the information in this entry was already know to me, but I thought people would be interested to know the following facts during the Vietnam War. The Secret War The war in Laos was so secret that the country's name was...

Il Mare is the remake of a Korean movie which has been said to be a cross between "You've Got Mail" and "Frequency". What I'd really like to see is a movie that's a cross between Gladiator, Chicago, and Dogdeball. Now THAT would be a movie!

I haven't accoplished too much, but here's what I have done. Slept in every day. Watched movies on... (gasp!) TV! I've see Gattaca and The Caveman's Valentine, coincidentally both produced by Danny DeVito. Downloaded The Motorcycle Diaries, but can't watch that because I don't have the subtitles. Doh! I'll watch Finding Neverland and Million Dollar Baby tonight. Trying to eat only the food in my cupboard. Therefore, my diet has consisted of pickles, ramen, pasta with 4 cheese sauce, Jelly Bellys, eggs, crackers and hot...

Who know I was part of the Tokyo trend? This is what I ate today, dol sot bibimbap. A couple days ago, I had coffee and this cheesecake...

Ras will finish teaching at his English camp at the end of this month. I'll meet him in Seoul next Saturday, and then we fly out Monday morning, January 31st. The ticket is from Seoul --> Tokyo --> Dallas --> Miami --> Panama City, Panama... phew! This coming next week, I've got a lot of things to do.

Not really, because I'm still here in Kangneung, still here in Korea. Whenever I get ready to travel, people will always ask, "Are you excited yet?" I think the answer they want to hear is "Yes, of course I am!" In reality, the excitement starts to build when I'm at the airport, holding my ticket. It's not until I'm physically there that I feel the anticipation of the airplane taking off. After boarding, I put my things away and head to the magazine rack. I get my pick, because nobody thinks to do that right away. Slowly the...

I officially will finish two straight years in Korea, this Thursday, January 20th. People have been asking me if I'm excited to leave. I'm looking forward to leaving, but not because I don't like Korea. My time here has been profitable, relaxing, and fun. What I'm really excited about, is to see and be somewhere new... and warm. By the time I walked home tonight, some of the snow from Saturday night had started to melt. Still, the majority of the heavy snowfall was still there. These are some pictures I snapped along my...

I met Hyun-ju there, who's a Korean friend of mine that wanted to see me before she left for vacation on Monday. I think she's the most well travelled Korean person I know, who really embraces other cultures. She met her current boyfriend in Vienna during her last trip, and I met him last night. Hyun-ju and her boyfriend. He had just gotten a hair cut that day. Do you like it? She didn't. Hyun-ju and I. The pose? I don't know where it's from, but all the kids are doing it! I didn't realize... (more) http://lao-ocean.blogdrive.com/comments?id=224
