Okay, I know I have not been writing in this blog lately, and for those of you who have taken a real interest, I am sorry. I haven't fallen into depression or anything like that, so you need not worry. I just found that I was starting to repeat myself, which made me realize that I wasn't as interested in writing as I should be. If you want elaboration you should read this: www.http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/show/43542-Charles-Bukowski-So-You-Want-To-Be-A-Writer
That's why I've been posting pictures instead. I've been enjoying taking pictures, and they can relate a part of my experience here that words cannot. I have just gotten back from Seoul and although I feel like I am once again full of things worth writing about, I have taken a bunch of pictures, so I will do this last entry with an emphasis on the visual before going back to writing. Nevertheless, I will say that my vacation in Seoul was excellent. I had a great time, and amazingly only spent about 480,000 won (about $410) for a four and a half day trip. That included bus fair across the country (both ways), accommodation fees, and a pair of 120,000 won sandals. I felt obliged to treat myself to a Thai massage after I got back.
...unfortunately, I've been having trouble loading pictures, so here are a handful now. Expect more later, littered throughout other posts.

Stately Gyeonbokgung Manor |

It's muthafuckin' king Sejon. Recognize. Much to my delight, I discovered there was a museum underneath the statue. |

This friendly Korean man from the 15th century is giving an Indian fellow a free lesson in looking stoic. It seems the pupil has surpassed the master. |

While exploring Gyeonbokgung, I was lucky enough to stumble across the rare pygmy Korean (shown here next to regular Koreans for scale). |

In Korea, instead of endless wheat fields and pasture for cows, there are rice paddys galore.  |
