109) Not an Upgrade


I just moved this week…certainly not an upgrade! The look on the face of the movers pretty much said it all. When they got to my new apartment, and got inside, they looked at each other with confusion and mumbled something like “why did he move here?”. It’s not a bad apartment, but it just cannot compare with my old one- no view, not a nice bathroom, just sort of ordinary. But in the end, I decided it’s not worth putting up a big fuss about it, as I have about 2 ½ months left.


Friday night I went to see Groove House (post 96) in Hongdae, but didn’t take any pictures. I went with my friend and her friend. The band hasn’t played in about two months, so I just wanted to enjoy the show. Besides being a great band, they are also really nice people- they always make a point to say “hi” to me or come over and chat between sets.


Saturday I went up to the area around City Hall and Namdaemon market to check out prices on some lenses, and take some pictures (the pictures on this post of from around there). Then later that night I went to a club called M2 to visit my friend. I only planned on staying a short time, but it ended up being all night. On the bus ride home this morning an older man got on the bus, and discovered he had a hole in his pocket. So then he makes a phone call, and just starts shouting on the phone. What made it so funny was that this was about 5 am and the bus was silent, except for this guy, yelling on his phone. It took a lot of concentration for me to not just bust out laughing.

Well, perhaps with a less desirable room, it will be easily to leave when you come home. Also, I haven't written a blog since I've been home, not that there isn't anything to say, I just haven't wanted to. Maybe it is like everyone who doesn't keep in touch when there are in there home, but when they travel, there is so much to say. I don't know. I just say, "kid's cheese"

Are you settled in to your new apt? Going to post any pictures? Even if you don't love it, we'd still love to see photos.

Did you ever get your new lens - or still just shopping around?

Toodles!
