Backdating is cool

Today seems like a good day to start a blog. I've just come in from celebrating my birthday with some friends, I'm not drunk (that can wait till the weekend) and I also just realised that seen as I got here on December 1st, today also marks my 6 month point in Korea.

I don't intend any subsequent post to contain as much writing as this one. The idea is to post photos now and again as a substitute for sending badly written, irrelevant mass emails to people I barely know or like back home. These should be accompanied by little or no comment as although there's no real evidence for it, it is scientific fact that anyone who isn't a professional writer but still insists on presenting material for public consumption inevitably ends up sounding like a proper twat.

This is a photo diary of my time in Korea and as I've already been here 6 months a little backdating is required to show how the first half year has passed. If this doesn't make you so desperate to get to Gumi that you'd consider sitting outside Heathrow airport handing out blowjobs for cash and airmiles then don't expect the next 6 months to raise even a smile.



December was a little nippy

I think this was at Easter

Joan is cornered by the santa police...

...whilst Rob and I convince them we look like this all year round

Nice arse

His ice sledge ran out of petrol

Well I thought I looked pretty sexy

And all the old women on the train agreed

Lily tries on my jacket for size and stops hitting me for 5 minutes

A big buddha

And a temple to go with it

Joan is drying her wet jeans, Rob's foot is in plaster, Japanese porn is on in the background. Not much more can be said.

Pig

His wares were shit but he did let me wear his hat

Cherry blossom

Joan suddenly realises the man standing next to her is not her 6ft 3" boyfriend

Whereas Joe seems to have found his ideal partner

Don't take them outside. They'll only go feral

Meditation

Probably the best (and only) all foreigner football team in Gumi

A new toy

It looks even better without me on it

Don't mess with Wooin

They might have looked the part but they were really, really shit

4 out of 5 women still only rated me as second best looking

-If you could read a map properly we wouldn't be in this mess.

-Shut up twat

I like ponds

Bryant and Traci make the most of the only bit of real grass in Korea

A temple, Gyeongju

This is actually nicer than my flat

Wooin bug cemetary

Train, padddy fields and small bird

Willy, great to hear from you. Pictures are great and the commentry even better. A little more work on character development is required. The little bird in the last picture for instance, what was his motivation, were did he feel he was going. Im in my new house, actually, in (genuinly) sunny Wigan chipping the plaster off the walls for a spanking brand new damp proof layer.

Living the dream.
