The world through soju eyeglasses and maekju breaths

Nothing important to report. I went to the convenience store for a few beers and soju this evening. Seoul is a very warm city. The greenhouse gases make smog, and the smog traps in the heat radiated by the ocularly infinite train of people and electric signs advertising meat shops at least twice a block. When I look out of the ninth-floor smoking room window of my school, I can see mountains. A month ago, they were not as obscured by the smog as they are now. The city is full of small, hillish-like mountains. ( We would call them hills in many parts of the United States.) The mountains surround the city-- they are part of it. They also jut up throughout the interior of Seoul, creating an unusual illusion of nature, something I would have never imagined in a metropole of this size.
Now though, the small mountains are hardly visible from a distance of two kilometers, even at an elevated view. You can see the particles in the air. Any animosity whatsoever that I had developed against smoking cigarettes has been negated as a result of the air of this city.

Mundane Update

So, I have finally purchased a camera and a memory card, which means that I will be able to add visuals to this page. I had intended upon waiting until I had the capability to add photos, as I believe the visual medium will be the best way to document many of the things that are around me in Seoul. Some things just have to be seen to be understood, and I am now one step closer to having that capability. As a result of this recent development, I will attempt to actively update this page as my experiences warrant updates.
For now, I will be doing an experiment I like to call The Cheonho nightlife with Johnny Walker Black. I will let you know how that turns out when the after-effects wear off. One Shot!
