You Can Have This Car In Any Colour Ya Like, As Long As It's Black

Well where do I start?
Teri and I are split, I got my own apartment about the size of a king size bed.
Hey it's somewhere to store my shit and beets the couch I slept on for two days. I don't have a plan but, im here till September maybe October?
Things are lonely in a strange country now that im flying solo
I do know people here and we hang out once in awhile. I go to the gym and entertain myself for an hour or two a day(not this week though I been lazy)
Doing Ok in my online course and it keeps me busy.
Talking to a beer can on a regular basis is driving me nuts so I thought I would write something on here afterall it's been a long time.
People make mistakes in life, and believe it or not I do too. I don't think it was a mistake to quit my job and come to Asia, I been to Shanghai,Taiwan,and all over Korea.I do have a few more places to see before I go home. What am I gonna do when i get there? Who the fuck knows, to be honest I haven't a clue. I don't think it was a mistake to meet new people and try new foods. I don't think it was a mistake to learn a different culture and language(which im not very good at) I do think it was a mistake to throw the relationship I had, more importantly the friendship I had out the window because of a dumb move.
Anybody got a time machine?
Anybody??

X saves The World

Been a long time since I have posted.....
You probably know that!
Well not much to say these days
Taking a geography course through the university of Manitoba to keep my brain occupied it is 100% online and something to do
I learned two little interesting things the last few weeks:
90,000 people a day go through Seoul Station
That's the population of Thunder bay LOL That's also pretty freakin busy
Dog Soup costs $13 a bowl not that I ate it or want to eat it but I popped into one of very many "dog" restaurants to see how much the shit sells for...
You get some funny looks from the locals when you go into or around these "potion-tung" restaurants
Going to Taipei in two weeks, looking forward to that! A whilwind adventure of a weekend it will be....might I also say cheap at $350 round trip tickets!
That's about all I have at this point but hopefully we'll talk to ya soon!

Some video I took of the massive tank felt like a kid again for a bit LOL
Went to the Korean war museum for the afternoon. It had exibits from the Chosun dynasty all the way up to the Korean war. The third pic from the bottom is a scale model of the DMZ. I would like to put all my pics on but that would take a long time! The museum was free to visit,it's huge, in Canada it would have cost at least $20. I'm gonna go back again for a second walk through. There is a bunch of short movies you can watch while touring the museum, didn't get to see all of them so like I said I'll go back!

Life Has It's Up's And Downs







Well well well look who's back, been awhile since I have came here but you heard that before.
The new place is all set up and back to "normal"
The thing I can say about the new place is that we live on the 11th floor, the view is great! There is vendors that sell fantastic food off of carts, right outside my front door Pogo's for a buck! A store and a bar in the basement..It's well set-up!
My one and only problem with the new place is the elevator...We used to live on the second floor so I never "had" to use the elevator. Some might say hey than why don't you take the stairs? Well because there is 2 flights of 10 stairs each per floor and that's alot of frickin stairs...so I wait for the elevator.
There is 11 floors above ground and 5 below, if your timing is not good, let's just say your waiting for it to go down, skip the main floor, come back up, you get in then it stops on every floor because A: it's full of people or B: people on lower floors pushed the call button and decided to take the stairs...ugg
I do enough stairs at the subway station and average of about 150 a day so I'm waiting for the elevator!
The second pic is the "Holy Mary GS25", a church and a convenience store all in one, so if your sweating in Church you can buy a beer or some soju to calm ya down!
The mountain views are the view from our apartment, I told ya it was nice!
The dude passed out on the garbage bags, I guess is a regular occurrence of a Saturday night!
The first pic is myeondong market(sp?)and as you can tell by the sea of black hair the place is a flippin zoo to walk through. The last pic is sweet potatoes and squid for sale out in the said market..
All in all things are OK missing out on a weekend trip to Taipei because the airfare is alot of money right now, guess I'll keep lookin
that's all for now, I'm going to get a pogo!

Shabu Shabu My second or maybe third favorite food here!



When the soups done you get fried rice for your hotpot!
Then you roll outta the restaurant because your full of delicious food!
