anyung haseyo!
so i know this post was spose to be about little things i miss from home, but the great thing about a Blog is i get to write about anything I want and can fully disregard previous ideas if i so choose. (If you must know, the answer is wooden chopsticks, forks and knives with every meal, drinking water from the tap and the smell of BC air ... no actual BC air)
That said, I was walking through the subway on my way to get dinner tonight (I am ashamed to admit i went to get KFC, and not so ashamed to admit that they have the best chicken burger here ... THEY PUT A FREAKIN HASHBROWN IN THE BURGER !!!!) when i walked past the subway performers at my station. My subway station is called Seoul National University (it's not actually that close to a university) and it is special from most subway stations as it has an area reserved for musical performances. Now usually i walk past these performances without paying much mind (busking acoustic guitar performances are basically the same anywhere in any language) but today I was treated to an amazing old Korean duo performing what i could only assume was in a traditional Korean style .. . the best part was they were a Trumpet and Accordion duo and they kicked ass. *** Attention future wife, these guys are playing our wedding. Love Darren ***
These guys were popular too, as there was a crowd of over 100 (mostly old) Koreans rockin their shit out to Seoul's Simon and Garfunkel. There was dancing and clapping and laughing, but easily the greatest part of all of this was one group of old folks sitting on the floor swaying and clapping. I mention these old folks cuz while they were all having a great time, one of them was Hand Jiving ... That's right, full on Danny Zuko HAND JIVING!!!! I've had a lot of times in Seoul where i've stopped and said to myself, "damn i wish i brought my camera," and yet i still hardly ever bring it with me ..... So instead i google searched a Korean dude with an accordion for you. it's almost 1/10th as cool as what i saw tonight.
Just as a final note, i got an email from the hockey team that drafted me this morning, only to get an email from them 4 hours later informing me that I'd been traded ... I wonder if these guys know im under contract and all transactions involving my services must be approved by Worms: Armageddon ...... I guess we can let this one slide;)
