blizzard

went shopping in Seoul this weekend amongst a massive throng of human consumption (i was a part of it, i know). was incredible, the number of people. i've been to some shopping places and events around the traps, but every different area i went to had streams of people continuously flowing past. i had my first ever experience of being in a foot traffic flow pushing me out of a subway train. i've had pushes and shoves before, but i've never been part of a single energy surge manifested by a collective. so yeah, there were lotsa people.


on our way home, we saw some snow from the train, and when we finally arrived in Shiwa, it was a full-blown blizzard.

from our living room the next morning.

we were in Seoul shopping for a few things for our Christmas party. the boys now have a tree (hideously expensive here) with lights (hideously cheap) and a couple of posters to cover up marks on our wall. here's my fave.


don't know his name, but he looks pretty cool. judging by his expression, he's either famous or modelling aftershave, or both.
