Anyong Hasseo!
I apologize for taking so long to update this blog, life has just been busy.
My plan was to post updates about the days that have gone by because I've got a lot to write about! From my last whirlwind trip to Seoul to meeting Beeker and our escapades in Gwangju to exploring the May 18th Cemetary, I've been a busy kid. But fate doesn't want to play that way.
I'm back in Seoul for my vacation, it was the last resort after everything else that Paul and I tried fell through, But I found out from a site that my Mom pointed out to me off of Whit and Lindsay's blog about a play being put on here in Seoul. Called JUMP, it's a non-verbal Musical about a family of Tae Kwon Do Masters, a young nerd who is secretly fantastic at Tae Kwon Do who loves their daughter. and two inept burglars. Doesn't sound like the most intricate plot sure, but you make an epic with almost no dialogue.
The choreography was stunning, the martial arts amazingly intense and absolutely mind blowing and the comedic timing was brilliant. I have nothing bad to say about this play. On top of that, it started with a "very old man" hobbling through the audience and hitting people out of the way with his cane. This man, the stage manager, tries to climb the stage, but can't and points to a member of the audience to lift his legs up one at a time onto the stage. Guess what being the only white kid in the third row (Actually the whole theatre, I think) Meant I got to do. It was fun!
Well I think that's it for now. I'm going to go enjoy more of Seoul, I'll catch you guys up to speed later. See you around!

Hiya.
Apparently my mom is friends with your mom. Your mom gave my mom your blog address; my mom passed it onto me.
I've been in Korea for just under 3 years now.
Just wanted to say hi :)
Oops, made a little assumption. It might not be your mom. You are, apparently, "the son of a friend" of my mom's.
