as corny as blogs are and even though bloggers are constantly the butt of numerous jokes, i've decided to start this as a journal for my time here in seoul. i don't plan on rambling and writing 1000-word diatribes on how koreans are extremely nice, giving and friendly, however, i will update it when i see fit to share something i find interesting or eventful or take a good picture, etc. who knows, maybe no one will ever read this but atleast i'll have an outlet to share things and i'll be able to look back on it someday way into the future. maybe my kids will read this as i don't see google going out of business anytime soon.so this is my first post. yes, this is nerdy but whatever, i don't want to be one of "those" people that send out lengthy email updates. if you want to know what's up and you're bored at work, here i am. that's it. i hope i can be somewhat entertaining to your otherwise more interesting life. i love you.
so my mom and i go to the ex every year without fail and this year we went on the first day. the first day is always exciting because they have the parade to open it. so i met my mom at the dufferin gates (the big-ass rainbow) after i locked up my bike. i was talking to my dad on the phone for a bit, at 10am on a friday mind you, and then i locked up my bike, felt guilty for hanging up and headed in. to our surprise the parade was just passing through behind bmo field where toronto fc was practising. it was interesting to see about a hundred kids in cadets with the canadian forces pass by us clearly focused on their responsibilities without paying attention to the two people walking along them. such troopers and oh so innocent.
my mom and i spent the next six hours staring at extremely cute pets, eating cheap food, visiting different products from various countries around the world (including dr. ho's muscle stimulators that are a product of china apparently) and various other things. above is a picture of evil knievel. it was part of the ex's photo archives which might be my very favourite part of the ex. check out the video. crushed pelvis and femur, fractures to his hip, wrist and both ankles and a concussion that kept him in a coma for 29 days. awesome.
