As if I didn’t have enough things on my mind, I’m now considering going to NYC for a few days. I’ve been avoiding going back for the last 6 years, but maybe it’s time. I know that going there now will never be about fun and games anymore. In fact, even though […]

So I had my first week teaching Logic. It was OK. Not great, not horrible. I’m trying to get to know the students and I do some of that by having them fill out a personal information sheet that I wrote up. I ask them about hobbies, interests, concerns, philosophy experience, […]

I haven’t told many people this, but 3 years ago, I was in a baskeball league up in NorCal. Anyway, they never told me that they posted up the stats…until now. I was second in the league in scoring, but although I was the shortest guy, I led the league in rebounds. […]

I don’t usually get these, but since I’m jetlagged, my stomach is all confused. It’s 1am and I want to go to…Tommy’s. Anyway, I got bored and did some browsing about Tommy’s. Did you know that to celebrate their 60th anniversary, the original location sold their cheeseburger combo for 60 cents!! This […]

I just bought a racket for the first time in about 12 years. My wrist still hurts, but I can’t play until late next week anyway. The sad thing is, I don’t think I’ll be much better with a good wrist. I was never that great at tennis. I […]

Forgot to mention that it’s 3:17am and I’m wide awake.  Still have jetlag, as it’s usually harder to adjust going east.  I’ve been sleeping around 4:30 and 5am everyday the last week.  Waking up at around 12 to 2pm.  My first class is next Tuesday at 10:30am…uh oh…
So, I have a roster of students that […]

The next 7 days will not be fun. Then I’ll be going to Oxnard, the strawberry capital of the world, next weekend. Great timing, I hope.  Then, I gotta read and play basketball as much as I can before I start school again.
But, I leave you with this question:  would you rather have […]

One of the things I was bummed about leaving Korea is that I was unable to stay for the USA basketball exhibition games. But, don’t know if I would have gone, since it’s $90 for the nosebleeds.
Then I read about how the US team held a practice showcase thingy at the Yongsan military base. […]

Considering all the terror paranoia, the travelling process wasn’t that bad. Our bags were scanned as usual into the terminal, and then hand checked right before entering the airplane. The plane was delayed a little because they had to check everyone’s bags and then place people’s liquid/gel possessions in sealed bags and put them […]

Well these are pix from my last full day here. I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon. I’ve had fun, but the weather really ruined my appetite here. No matter, at least I had some of a little bit of everything…I think.

Before I left for Korea, I knew I wasn’t really going to eat much […]

Just realized I could use the cable from the new camera for my old. Alot of these are from HK, since we didn’t get the new camera until the very last minute in HK. Click further…

Since we got delayed at Inchon Airport due to the typhoon in HK, we received from food vouchers to […]

Forgot to mention that JY got one of the latest Canon camera’s in HK for super cheap. So, I’ll post some pix in this post, and eventually put them in a gallery when I get back. Still kicking myself for not bringing the cable, cuz I could have wasted time here uploading pix […]

So, the delay was to due to Typhoon Propiroon (sp?) in HK. There were actually 130 mph winds. I guess it was pretty crazy at the HK airport. Anyway, we were about to land, but we had to circle around a few times due to the heavy traffic. We arrived, walked […]

So, we got to the airport for an 8:45am flight, but due to the weather in HK we got delayed until 12:30pm. They gave each person a $10 ticket for food. I ate, then checked out the crazy electronics here. They have an iRiver store that really tempted me. If some […]

It’s weird being back here.  I was in Seoul to meet a few friends for just a little bit.  Afterwards I walked through my old stomping grounds in Sin ShinChon to get to the bus stop.  Ate at Red Mango, the Iceberry replacement.  So I got an unofficial story about why no one goes to […]

It’s been that long since I’ve been here, and when I was here it was the winter time.  So, this is my first summer back in 4 years.  It was weird seeing so many green trees where I’m staying.   Humid, not that hot, though.  Of course, it’s still 10:30am…
So, I got to LAX and as […]
