It was Andrew’s 2nd to last weekend here in Seoul. The mission briefing was simple. Our plan was to check out the weirdest places possible. After a few drinks at an old-fashioned Korean bar, we prowled through the near-empty alleyways, unaware of what obscurities laid ahead. As we continued our trek through these grimy backstreets, I began to realize how seedy Seoul was at night. Perhaps prostitution is prevalent and just as inconspicuous during the day in any other metropolis.
Chris, soft-spoken, yet effervescent at times of sporting events, is the epitome of the modern day gentleman. Here he is alongside Hannah, whose exuberance, yet genuine down to Earth persona is always present. I dearly miss being in their company.

Do not be confined to your mental cages, go expand your horizons, and experience what the world is about. This one’s for all the globe trotters out there. Keep on, keeping on.
It was a light winter this time around, and my skin seems to have hardened against these desolate conditions. As March approaches, I feel a subtle warmth thawing the souls of the Seoulites. If only you could feel these seasonal changes. The temperature fluctuating from one extremity to the other, and in the process, adding yet another ring to my internal tree of life.
We were almost made into zombies that night.
Instead we went for chicken and beer.
Dang, I’ve already forgotten their group name. It’s probably a ridiculous combination of Konglish. Apparently, they kicked out two of their older members, and replaced them with younger plasticized teens. GG Korea.
