Andy Warhol

12/10/06

Today we went to Insadong. It's a touristy strip of shops that is fun to walk through. It's mildly humorous that a lot of the stuff in Korea says "made in China", too. There was an Andy Warhol tribute thing there where people who had made similar art posted in the little area. These odd looking blokes are a few of the pieces. Sitting next to them is my new roommate, David (aka So Cal). Behind him you can see blue umbrellas hanging from wires that were painted to look like a lightly cloudy sky. Not a big Warhol fan, but some of the stuff was kind of neat. Got some chicken on a stick (roughly shishkabob) which was really good.

This coming weekend we have the school's New Years Eve party. Two weeks early. Not really sure why we can't have it closer to the actual new year, but whatever. Free food and drinks are not something i scoff at. Not too much else new. Learning the language slowly, but with progress here and there. Or 'yogi' and 'chogi', to speak in Hangul (Korean). Figuring out the names of all the foods i like. The dumplings are great. Fried. Boiled. Whatever. Christmas is coming soon, obviously, and i've got all the gifts for the folks. Gotta put them in the mail tomorrow. That's it for now,
