News from the Far Side

Just checking in.
My wife and I have moved to Seoul South Korea in January to take a promotion with my Company to work with our subsidiary here.

Everyone who has ever been here, said, "wow! Korea is such an INTERESTING place"
not a great place or nice place or fun place - but an interesting place.

NOW we know what they were talking about.
The lack of English is amazing. They use lots of english words in signs and phrases and things - such as "Human Bar" - but they don't understand english at all.

Every little chore is an adventure. Every cab ride is a crazy game of charades.

All things being considered. we are in fact enjoying life here. We have a nice apartment in the French section of town with lots of interesting little bars and bistros. Work keeps me very busy and Barrett is working hard to start and learn the language.

RE: Old F3 stories. I remember the time Joe Rossetti and I were at Army Navy at the Ben Franklin. I believe it was Yuck year and we all rented a room somewhere.
With one or two many drinks, neither of us could find the room or remember the room.
Some helpful, prankster as it turned out, gave us a room number where we were to go.

We knocked on the door and there were three or four cadets and their girls in there watching TV. Joe, being Joe, got into an eloquent discussion with one of the cadets about "what were they doing in our room". I, seizing the initiative, simply took my pants and dress gray top off and climbed into one of the beds.

After a bit of loud discussion, we were convinced we shouldn't be there and headed off into the hallways of the Ben Franklin.

Not sure what floor I ended up on that night.
