So I finally have sometime to write something. It was a long flight. Too long. I slept about 5 hours. and the rest of the flight was just torture. But I made it. So this is another adventure in Korea. This adventure is gonna be intersting. An adventure of being on a diet in Korea. Last night I already met up with one of my friends. Chris Shin the Cro-Magnon! He is an interesting guy to say the least. I saw him at his apartment and there was something different about him. So what was so different?
Da Fevah - Dang dude. Something is different about you.
Cro Magnon Chris - What? he was looking away...
Than i noticed his eyes....
This nigga got a Ssang KKapple surgery! Can you believe it? Another Guy with the infamous double eye-lid surgery. For some of you who know him, I can tell you that this was unbelivable fo me. The guy who has always been trying to be so tough. Hahaha. Well I guess you can say that he looks better. But yikes.....
He took me out to a Pojang Macha. (Street Vendor drinking place?)
He was surprised that I did not drink or eat. It was torture. As he was drinking away eating side dishes.... I drank water. he started telling me stories about wild adventures of sawing his wild oats... I just sat and listened. As he was going on and on about his wild stories, more and more I felt sad about the fact that innocent Korea being wiped away from my mind. My childhood memories being wiped away into this place of innequitie....... He asked me if I wanted to goto a room salon. I said "Nah its cool. lets just hang out." He was entertaining as always. I slept over at his pad.
Today I saw Silmido.
This was a great movie I must say. Seol Kyung Goo is a great actor. I was really impressed with this movie. It was a real sad movie. It was another heart tearing story due to the fact thay korea was cut in half.... Not giving away the movie, I will share a line from the movie that broke my heart the most. One guy, as he was dying said, "in next life, lets be born to rich parents so that we don't have to live like this." I notice more and more how cruel Korea can be. A truely sad country for poor people. No one wants to be poor. But many people are victoms of poverty. Well.... in Korea, you can live like a king, when you are rich. But when you are poor here, it can be doom. Or a life so harsh that can lead to certain life style that one cannot return from. With alll this trash that I talk, I am glad that I am here. I am happy that I am chillin in da motherland. But I would never want to live here. As much as I love so many things about this place, this country would ruin me. I truely feel great about the fact that God has somehow placed me in the US. I am thankful....
