My old, dear, friend Sarah came to vist me here in Seoul for a long weekend and it was wonderful. As much as I like my vagabond lifestyle, you see, I do get homesick from time to time. As good of a time as I have with my new friends here, they are just that: new. It's all new and exciting but it's hardly comfortable. Think chicken soup vs. thai fusion. It's a consequence of my life, I agree, that makes chicken soup so hard to come by. So it was pleasant in and of itself to see a friend I've known for fully ten years in a city I've known for less than two months. Nice to see my old friend with my new ones.
But, but, but it was better still to explore a bit of Korea with her. We went with some friends to the east coast - we eventually met all of Sarah's key requests: 1) beach; 2) karaoke; and 3) shopping - where two days of sheer madness ensued.
Our highlights include:
I think I even managed to convince Sarah to move to Korea once her contract in Japan expires in September. If so her visit will have been doubly good; not only was it nice to see a friendly face but she is independent confirmation that I'm not crazy: this place really is amazing!
*Oh but I wish!

I saw the penis park on failblog.org! It makes more sense in context now. :P
And the photo taken by the Korean guys is really good!
Also, someone commented on the equivalent post on your LJ rss feed. :D
It may make more sense in context but you'll have to forgive me: I prefer to live in a world where these things sort of randomly and spontaneously occur. Like rainbows or something. ^^
Also, yeah, I can't believe how well some of the pictures those guys sent me came out. More to the point, I can't believe they actually sent them.^^
