This current entry could be
used to report that I have finally received my Alien Registration
Card and was able to use that to open my very own banking account
here in Korea. Or about how I ate a delicious bowl of red beans and
ice. Now I'm willing to bet that everyone back home read over that
previous line so quickly that their brain automatically read "red
beans and rice" but that is no typo – I had red beans and ice!
It's a traditional Korean dessert called Patbingsu which is
basically sno-ball ice, red beans, chocolate syrup, rice balls,
pineapple and mango chunks, banana slices, and Corn Flakes. Sounds
absurd, I know...tastes incredible though.
Instead I'm writing to
announce that the Orient will be gaining two more Louisianians for
Christmas 2012. My brother, Brandon and our close friend, Quentin
are coming to visit me and for that I am very grateful. Their timing
is perfect too because it will be during my winter holiday so we'll
have a great deal of opportunities to live it up. Look out Korea!
The second thing I'd like
to mention is happy anniversary to my mother and father. It was this
day, 33 years ago, that they were wed. My dad, while working shift
work, had the upcoming weekend off and decided that with a week's
notice he and my mother should just get married. They did. It's
truly an interesting story with a very movie-esque feel to it.
Here's to 33 more.

I don't know what made us think it was safe to teeter precariously high upon Swiss castle walls.
