I have been away from my computer quite a bit this last week, so I apologize for the delay in posting. Things should be calming down now, and I will hopefully be able to post more regularly. I'm afraid this post will be a long one, so bear with me...!
Well, to update:
Last weekend, the recruiter who coerced me into coming to Korea had a big event at Carne Station. We had a scavenger hunt, but that turned out to be a bit more than we bargained for (and the recruiter). Some of the items on the list, shall we say, were a trifle warm...I don't know how people got orange traffic cones and I don't want to know...I met some, well, UNIQUE, people; my partner in the scavenger hunt was very nice, but a trifle bit eccentric (he was wearing a Fredricks of Hollywood lace up shirt!). He had been in Seoul for only three days, and had come from a town of only 25,000 people, so he was a bit shell-shocked by the crowd (and a recent divorce, as it turned out). We did very poorly in the game, as he was new and I was brought up Protestant - no traffic cones, mops, and chairs for us!
The evening went well; I met some Wisconsin folks, which was strangely deja vu of my early college days...especially as the beer (Hite - horse piss at its best!) was flowing freely. I am afraid I overindulged quite a bit; the next thing I remember is salsa-ing at a Mexican-themed bar in Itaewon. Ah, well, you only live once.
Out of this whole deja vu experience, I met a charmingly "shy but open" Connecticut man, and we hit it off rather well. I hope he is reading this...
Well, that is the end of Part I. I am doing this in installments.
