Welcome back!
An AIM chat last Monday evening:
phrozted: “hey evan, sup?”
evankub: “hey ben, where you at man?”
phrozted: “well, i was going to beijing but i didn’t realize i needed a visa, so i may come to seoul.”
evankub: “word. you can crash here if you need to.”
And with those words, the madness began. Come Tuesday evening, Ben was in Seoul crashing on my apartment floor. He’s an old high school buddy that’s currently on a world tour of sorts, and he crash landed here when his China plans derailed. Since then my time has been consumed with squiring him around this fair town and inviting him to school events where my co-teachers get down with their bad selves:
Notice all the green bottles in the video? Yeah, those are all empty soju (Korean liquor) bottles. Immediately following this I sang a rousing rendition of the theme song for “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” since it was the only song I could remember completely off the top of my head when the teachers asked. Ben sang with me, and it was magical. Here’s a photo of us after our harrowing karaoke experience:
We’ve had a lot of fun this week, and come Friday we’ll be heading our separate ways. Ben to China, and myself to Seoraksan for a weekend hike. It was good to see a friend from home though, and hopefully I’ll pick up some travel tips from him about the Philippines for my winter break. But that’s a post for the future!
