Forty Creek

Holy shit it has been awhile since I been here....Whirlwind of a trip home to Canada. I must admit it was a productive trip home that I'm glad I took. I am jetlaged still 3 days after getting back but I'm catching up!

I spent a total of 54 hours travelling to and from home, that's more time in two trips than some people work in two weeks!

Got rid of my fantastic tenant and spruced the place up via a paintbrush for someone who is not an idiot to rent real soon. I must admit I'm not in a rush to rent it out till I find someone "suitable" for the place. Being a landlord can be great, also it can be the biggest god dam nightmare of your home ownership! Can't wait for that hydro bill!

Korea is just how I left it although it is a little colder these days the foods still great and I still can't understand much of the talk around me. I bought another ipid when I was home thought it would help me with many things including making myself deaf.

I'm back at the gym, in effort to lose the Christmas weight, but what do you expect from prime rib dinners, turkey dinners, lobster dinners, chicken wings and lots of beverages for 22 days?? well 4kg to the plus side be exact.....

Don't get me wrong I had a great time spending my days working on the house and my nights visiting friends and family I'm just sweating it out now that's all. LOL

Great White North

Dark Clouds May Hang On Me Sometimes, But I'll Work It Out

I went from this

To this.....

That will freak ya out!

Merry Christmas all!

It Gets So Sticky Round Here

Everybody this is Little Bones!
Little Bones this is everybody!

I threw this pic in because I am 15 hours into a 30 hour travel day back and needed some amusement! I am in Seattle right now I for some odd reason it feels weird to be here and actually understand what people are saying.... I kinda miss Korea believe it or not.....maybe it's because the people I have encountered thus far have been sorta rude to a Canadian traveller!

Made To Take And Take And Take

Some people want to rob banks or steal armoured cars in an effort to get rich.
Not me, I wanna steal this mobile butcher shop!

Christmas at AK Plaza

Some pics of the view from my watering hole. The manager likes us there! Super nice guy and he is always trying to talk to me but he speaks very very little English and my Korean is the shits, but at least there is never a dull moment!

The menu at the said watering hole

The middle floor here is the all you can eat Korean BBQ for $12

Good stuff !

Best Guitar Riff Of The 2000'ds

WOW time flies

It's almost Christmas good thing I sent out the gifts

2 months ago and I'll bet they'll still be late.

Internet guitar 101 is coming along OK

I only play when T is not home, for many reasons

I broke the 100kg mark at the gym today and I'm pretty dam happy about that!

(not lifting but the weigh in was less than 100kg)

So now I'm a semi fat white guy ! LoL

Today for fun I got on a bus just to see where it went

Well it went on a "milk run" through all the Korean apartment towns

let me tell ya when your a semi fat white guy in an apartment town in

the hood of Migeum you get some funny looks!

Went out last night with a friend to Seoul, Gangnam to be exact and

it took me one hour and twenty minutes to hail a cab ride home

maybe it was racism, but no one would stop for me or take me to Bundang

$22 dollar cab fare to be exact!

I have been trying to learn how to write in Korean

Peoples names, things, and places

I can officially read it, understanding it is a whole other story?

It's tough but hey why not try I'm here after all

Then I started thinking, after all those years of partying

the only thing I ever got an A+ on was my blood type...

Wish me luck !

Shooting Star

Ms D had a birthday, now she is old like me! Was a two day fun filled weekend including a great dinner both nights! This lamp was my gift to her along with a baby g shock watch and a 10 yr old cat who understands Russian as that's where she came from.

Today we went here to pick up our second cat from a lady who was fostering the kitten!

Friday night birthday dinner at our friends! Don't light sparklers over the cake they get sulphur on the icing!


Been a busy boy and I have been meaning to get here all week, now it's Sunday night and I finally made it!

More to come.......
