The Seoul Session (A "Seoul" pun story)...but not really

Greetings from the land of the morning calm. But first a disclaimer:

I have been in Korea for three months now. I feel as though I've become more worldly and connected with myself on a new level. However, I believe that my writing ablilty has been shot to hell...I will not accept any corrections and I will fly to wherever you are and punch you square in the face.

So you think you know me, you have no idea...

Well actually, you probably do. I have a need for simple things. Food, Beer, and Sleep. But on Saturday, I got a fill of what I've been craving for a long long time...live music.

A band in Seoul called the Penetrators rocked my world. Sure, in all fairness to world music, they could be brushed off into cover band obscurity. But here in Korea, they are a diamond in the rough, a needle in a haystack, um...a Chipotle burrito in a pile of Kimchi.


And after a good rock show filled with such covers as Blur's Song No.2 and a rousing scream-filled rendition of We're Not Gonna Take It, you should come here...to Jackie's Kitchen (Please hold your laughter).
Now granted, Jackie Chan is the biggest Chinese star in the world but that doesn't stop him from invading Korea, one egg roll at a time.

So with a bit of Jackie and a hint of Twisted Sister, life in Korea is truly a "Seoul"-soothing experience...I hate myself for writing this entry already.

I end this entry with this shot: Angelo next to military academy cadets. I'm not sure why, but it just seemed appropriate.


Go Korea.
