24 (hours) in 서울
welcome to itaewan. this is where i spent 24 hours celebrating my 24th birthday. it’s like san francisco’s korea town only the other way around- it’s in korea and it’s for foreigners. it is a haven for foreigners who sometimes find themselves singled out and estranged in the homogeneous korean culture. here, they have all … Continue reading »
Why Acupuncture Made Me Sick
it all makes sense now. a few weeks back I went to try acupuncture for the first. as i’ve previously written in this blog, it didn’t go so well. immediately after having the pins in my skin, i was dizzy and violently nauseous. following the dizzy spell, there was a giant emotional mood swing that … Continue reading »

Unfortunately, not even this 13 minute video could do us justice but it’s … Continue reading »
second, the morning
chris is in istanbul. i couldn’t be more proud and jealous and excited all at once. he’s eaten the food and walked the mosques and the town. he’s even watched the soccer games. he’s ten hours closer than he was before and maybe this is the reason why he’s been on my mind so much … Continue reading »
first, the gripe
if i told you that i haven’t been blogging because i’ve been reading, would you believe me? well, it’s partially true. i’ve even been reading the news again. that’s right, good ol’ american-made world news. and i’m almost finished with my new yorker anthology of short stories. i cooked a mussel stew today complete with … Continue reading »
reading: listening phase #1
one gripe i’ve always had about my undergraduate education is that there weren’t enough classes focusing on contemporary and post-modern literature. i’ve begun the study on my own now that I don’t have to spend my time re-reading sir gawain for the hundredth time. i’m easily inspired by any reassurance of the fact that there … Continue reading »
