i think i'm going to try to start titling my blogs with random shirts i see here in korea.
you know how asians always have like those crazy shirts with english on it but the english doesn't make sense?
yeah.
and fortunately, there are a few which do make sense and they're just funny as shit to see on a shirt.
more or less, on a shirt a korean teenager/pre-teen is wearing.
nice face.
a few days off the blog.
and i've been itching to get back.
sorry for the delay.
i moved to suwon a week ago and started working.
of course, this came after a stressful weekend of people tugging on both sides of me.
i toyed with the plan of cutting my contract and finding a school in seoul.
for those not in the know, i have a visa differing from other ESL teachers.
possible because of my ex-korean citizen mother.
and this different visa would allow me to cut my contract and remain in korea.
since my contract is not tied to my school at all.
long story short = i moved to suwon to fulfill my contract.
and it's working out quite well.
i'm not that far from friends in seoul anyway.
plus, i feel like the slight removal from seoul well help give me alone time.
to train.
to read.
to study korean.
to think.
to live on my own for the first time.
training has been on hold until today, however.
short 30 mins. since i haven't run in a week.
i think training in suwon will be better than seoul.
where i was in seoul i was running on nothing but flats along the river.
suwon is gentle slopes all over the city.
hopefully this will be good for training.
i know that living across the street from an asics factory outlet will at least keep my equipment fresh.
up to episode 9 of lost.
and what an episode i must say.
i'd watch episode 10 but i really should do some reading.
so i'll get to that reading.
and possibly make some headway on finding a korean/english language exchange.
until the next post.
lots of love,
jo
EDIT: i'm also going to start posting photos at the end of each post.
these photos will be part of a 'series.'
the guy that lived here before me left a bag full of magnets.
for the fridge.
the ones that are just words.
so you can create your own sentences and stuff.
and these happen to be the movie set.
with classic movie quotes broken up into words or chunks of words.
so i decided to go all mars volta on their ass.
here is issue #1:
