Excuse the pun. Here are photos from my last few days in Seoul.

Instead of staying in Tokyo I came back to handle a few things in Chicago. I got back to LA on Sunday and Chicago last night. Disposable and iPhone photos coming soon.

Still in Seoul

The weather has been pretty terrible this week. Rainy, cold, and windy Monday through Wednesday. However today was pretty nice and the weekend is supposed to be great. Tomorrow afternoon I’m interviewing for a job that would begin in August. I think I’d be happy to live here for a while…

Here’s some pictures from the past few days.

Earlier this evening Jerome bought a sweet Korean track frame from one the two fixed gear shops that exist within two hundred meters of each other. I bought a pastor taco from the taco shop that lives between the two bike stores. It’s worth noting that it was both more authentic and more delicious than any taco I’ve ever had in New York.

Saturday in Seoul

Last night was fun, which accounts for our not leaving the apartment until 3:00 this afternoon. Today we took the subway to Dongmyo to a flea market that puts the LA swapmeets to shame. Afterwards we wandered around Sinchon and the university on the way back to the apartment.

Nighttime in this city gets the full stamp of approval. I haven’t seen so many people on the streets at 5 AM since Buenos Aires. Headed out to a party in Hongdae now. More soon.

I got to Seoul about 24 hours ago. Super jetlagged, but we went out for a bit last night and I wandered the city for a while today between work and naps. Going out to a party now, but here’s some random snaps from the flight and the first day here.

Invasion!

Limousine to Jerome’s

This is how the seafood stays fresh

Near Sinchon Rotary I think

Seoul is built in and around the mountains

More soon!
