Saldada

I intended to have an early night last night, walking home this morning at 5:30 I realized that it just isn't possible. Trevor and I went to the Outback, arriving at 930, they close at 10 so no big deal right? We were not allowed salad before our meal, and when we placed our order we were told, no ribs, only steak or "fry things". Needless to say, we ate fries and chicken wings and left happy with our decision to dine in a western atmosphere for a change. We wandered around a bit and headed to Bek Sum Dong, Korean Speak for "Gav's house".
Woke up today to the hanging of Saddam Hussein- I cant get the news here nor can I find an English Newspaper so I am relying heavily on CNN.com these days! It is as if an era has ended. Being as unpolitical as I am, or as one could possibly be, I felt an overwhelming amount of emotions and a sense of closure, whether the closure came in the right form...it came. Today we went on an excursion for a funnel, a tube, and some decent New Years garb! We got it all and are fully prepared for tomorrow. I am feeling like I am back on Blackinton and I am a little nervous to see if I have been able to maintain my funneling skills after all these years! Sat and had a Margarita, in a proper glass only it was ALL tequila at this very upperclass- Larney as the South Africans put it, Bar.
ONLY IN KOREA: Upon standing at an intersection we hear a mans voice screaming in a way that sounds like a yelping monkey. Sure enough it was a man, on the back of his friends scooter, no helmet and not even properly sitting down but rather squatting! Madness I tell you, madness.
28 hours until 2007, last year I drank a bottle of skunked Dom well past midnight- lets start this year on a better foot..
