Suckling Pig

this past saturday,
i went w/ a group of comrades to the 63 building (Korea's tallest building)
and to check out the international fireworks competition.
the 63 building was *meh* but the photo ops were absolutely hilarious.
(which shall be posted soon)
As for the fireworks?!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
and i've seen many fireworks in my days...
but these were absolutely ridiculous,
and like in Korean fashion:
absolutely over the top, unnecessary, but visually pleasing.
I was extremely satisfied and in awe.

Also, during the fireworks display,
the realization that:
"Gawd, i'm in Korea! i'm REALLY in Korea! on my own!"
had hit me.
and i felt so humbled.

Another humbling thing that occurred was that on monday...
I GOT PAID!!
WOOT!
working for about a month and a half...
with the 500 000 won advance...
i wanted to dance in my bank when i checked my balance..
but when i was in mid breakout dance.. an old lady was staring at me,
so i quickly walked away
with the biggest smile on my face.
i can't believe how decently paid we are here, based on our benefits,
the type of work we do...
and the living expenses..
it's absolutely insane.


today, while walking the sophster,
i had an interesting...encounter...
which now leaves me to come up with a decision
before i receive a certain call.
and lemmie tell you:
i'm EXTREMELY tempted..
