Turning Japanese

I jet off to the land of sushi and anime (I think I want to go to one of those restaurants where the waitresses are dressed like Pokemon or whatev) so I figured I'd blog real quick because we all know I probably won't while I'm gone. You're a priority, blog, but not that high on the list. Ok just kidding my blog is like #1 in my life. Maybe #2, after MTV Reality TV. Judge me. Anyways, students become the devil after having them every day (Saturday's included) for three weeks straight, so needless to say I'm stoked to be done with my super lame conversation class. Don't tell anyone, but maybe for the last class all we did was play Uno (not really English, oops) and watch The Simpsons . It was a party? Thats my story. It's sad that this is what Ricky Martin has become: a popcorn machine at Home Plus (like Walmart-but bigger) in Korea. Awesome. I'm basically a really trendy Korean. Minus the Korean part. See you in a week, blog. (and MTV)

Saturday Night

What happens in a Jordanian restaurant, stays in a Jordanian restaurant (matchy matchy!) (the most awkward richard nixon ever) I wish I had more pictures from later in the night, including my new love crush: Jackie Chan. I don't remember his real name, but he was a Korean my friends had invited along for the night. And when I say invited along, I mean he was their waiter at dinner and that created a bond that would last all night. The real bond formed when, at the Noraebang (aka karaoke), Jackie Chan and I danced and sang to Usher's "Yeah Yeah" together. I miss him. The night also included a belly dancer performing at dinner for my friends birthday, out of control dancing, and a crazy (in a good way) cab driver. Just another good night in Seoul.

Because...

Why wouldn't a bunch of Storm Troopers be walking around Seoul advertising for Adidas?

Preparing

I'm planning on singing this and doing the robot the entire time I'm in Japan. I'm sure many videos will result. 4 more days until I'm Mr. Roboto!!

RIP

There's a place in this world that brings joy and happiness and sometimes pain to the people who visit. That place is Taco Bell. Korea doesn't have Taco Bell, except for on the military posts. It's very sad. But what is sadder is that the Taco Bell legend; the man who made it all possible, Glen W. Bell Jr. has died. Thanks for all the memories, the cheesy fiesta potatoes, and heartburn. RIP Glen. RIP.

I came to Korea and saw The Wedding Singer

There is a musical version of the hit movie The Wedding Singer making its way around the world. Lucky for me, Korea picked up on this and made dreams come true. When I was...14? years old(ish) I went through a period where I would watch this movie every week. I don't know why. I mean, its funny and I like it, but its not THAT funny. Needless to say I have most of it committed to memory. (I have all of Saturdays Warrior committed to memory) Anyways, I convinced (it wasn't very hard) my friend Corinna to go as well, and after a lovely dinner of oysters and pork wraps (yeah, love those combos) (actually it wasn't very satisfying and I longed for more), we hit up the art center for a life-changing performance. The guy who played Adam Sandlers character is pretty famous I guess. He's in that movie Nine (that nobody really cares about) but when he came on stage as Robbie Hart the crowd went wild. I even busted out my 'siren' yell. You know what I'm talkin...
