just like there were moments in time known as "hammer time."
these moments will be known as "blogger time."

i've arrived in Seoul Korea only discover that i have transformed into some sort of monster. That's right, a monster, who's sole purpose is to destroy people with his sweat and stench.
for some reason,
korea has decided that it wants to become the bane of my existence.
how many of you hate saunas?
i mean... how could one possibly like a sauna?
sitting in a sweaty steam filled room, with sweaty steam filled men...
this is not my idea of a good time.

here are some of the highlights of my trip to korea thus far:

1. my 6 hour wait in the vancouver airport. This consisted of me, mainly sitting, walking, and buying so many different types of beverages... this only made things more uncomfortable because i must have gone to the washroom 12 times.
2. my car ride from incheon airport to seoul. My uncle picked me up, and the conversation consisted of, "how's your daddy doing?" "how's your mom doing?" "do you talk to David?" and replys like, "he's fine, she's fine and yeah, i talk to him." But here's the clincher, this is what makes a regular car ride with my uncle a highlight! my uncle is a cell phone junkie. he called his wife 4 times, and 3 of those 4 times for absolutely no reason. He called, my aunt 3 times, i guess 2 times could have passed as legitimate, but that's pushing it. but here's the clincher... he called dunkin donuts...
3. I went to my aunts house for dinner only to be greated by her two sons, who apparently are, spiderman and buzzlight year. It wasn't halloween... there was no costume party. but they were running livid, one as spiderman, one as buzzlight year. This made absolutely no sense to me... for one, like i said earlier... it wasn't halloween and there wasn't a costume party. Secondly, their costumes must have been made out of either plastic, or polyester...... did i forget to mention that everywhere's a sauna? foolishness...
