It's been a busy time here in the Republic of Korea...going backwards...
-On Sunday, I'm going with my friend Steve to a place called Sharing House. I'm not to clear about the details (going to find out everything when I go) but it has to do with the "comfort" women used by the Japanese troops during WWII. It's still a hot topic, the Japanese government denies that they forced the women into sex slavery and so they won't issue an official apology. It's something I'm really looking forward to. I recently read the Rape of Nanking and that was a huge kick in the gut. It made me want to read a lot more modern Asian history, I'll tell you that.
-I've been trying to have a quiet time this fall but that has been made difficult by several factors. First off, I HATE my sublet and so I'm trying to be home as little as possible. He is ALWAYS here and sucking up energy and generally being a douche bag so I'm forced to go to cafes or pubs until late. Claude is terrified of this dude and is getting fat because all he does now is eat or sleep. More than usual, that is.
-I'm starting to plan my trip home! I've got 3 weeks to spend and I'll be in San Francisco and Seattle. I absolutely cannot wait to have good Mexican food, American Chinese food, and cheese. I'm a little weirded out by the thought of being in a place where the signs are all in English and where I won't eat kimchi every day but I'm super excited to see people again.
