Korea, an update on my life in the last 8 months

So I've made it to Seoul South Korea, and I'm feeling pretty good. Which is definitely a change from yesterday. Yesterday I was sitting on a plane for 14 hours next to an elderly Korean man watching movies. Despite being surprised that the movie Arthur was an excellent movie, i was kinda sad. Today however I was spending time with recently graduated women who like to travel. My mood improved. Though it might have been the Cat Cafe, where you could pet a cat or the one random pig that the cafe had. And the coffee was great.

Anyhow I'll be in training for the next week learning how to make children love me, and then I'll use that love against them to make them learn English, and be productive citizens. Since we all know that nobody wants to do those things on their own anyway.

Anyway back to the last 8 months,

I spent a lot of time learning to be a better gamer. Specifically in StarCraft II where I learned to play an alien race and destroy humans. It seems when you are waiting for things to arrive, like background checks, passports and other paperwork.

Other things that occured in the last 8 months


I learned that the proper name for mushroom soup is Methodist Binder.

Sudoku in the paper can keep you stuck on the funny pages longer than is proper for an adult male.

I learned how to make a dog love you or hate you in 15 minutes or less.

I can now make pie crusts, apparently the key is lard.

I've picked blueberries for the first time. and even though a gallon seems like a lot of blueberries when the gallon is made into pies that don't go to you the blue berries seem to go a lot quicker.

I've visited Florida for the second time and while there learned I'm a lot more claustrophobic than I thought I was. Did you know that outside of Nevada things grow everywhere? They just don't seem to respect personal space. The trees made me feel like I was trapped in a box.

I saw the St Louis Arch. That is the type of public art I like, unlike the Omaha death trap statues.

Drove a boat for the first time. I'd driven a ship before but the ship wasn't half as fun as scaring the daylights out of my cousin and aunt while driving the boat. That was the last time that ever happened so I believe I must have perfected the art and that feeling that no one could ever top that feat the boat had to be retired.

I became slightly more tolerant of country music. Steel guitars no longer set my teeth on edge.

Also St Patricks day and stairs will forever be linked in my mind. (and that's all I have to say about that.)

On a related note Alcoholic pies exist, and the world is a better place for them.



Well now I think I've covered the highlights of my year so far and I'll try and post a little more often so that all may find out the meaning of life as told by Michael Mills.
