hi guys!


i have my real mailing address now!
i would feel weird posting an address on a blog, but the security system here is tiiiiiiight.
potential e-stalkers beware!
(speaking of stalkers, i ran into the church girls when i was walking around western dom, a kind of shopping area today. there were four of them and they surrounded me in a circle of umbrellas! i was dirty and tired and wet and definitely not as nice this time!)
anywayyyyy
here is is!

Wooin Acriumvill 2  #1107
Janghangdong    Ilsangu
Goyangsi    Kyunggido
South Korea

Tanya (Korean teacher friend from my building) typed up and printed out mailing labels for me at school!


i have been such a wimp with picture-taking, but i will post more pictures that actually have people (other than me, haha) in them!
for now...i thought this was kind of beautiful. i really like doing laundry like this, in my one room, with the sounds of purple rain
 and actual rain in the background. 

i'm really happy here just doing my thing. like today, i just walked around out in the rain, ate a weird "french" pastry that included crabmeat(??), alternately reading and people-watching through the cafe window. i took some pictures when there was no one around because of the rain, haha. i will really try to post some cool people pictures. i saw this one COLOR-COORDINATED teen couple wearing onl
y light yellow and white with a matching yellow umbrella and i REALLY wanted to take their picture, but i punked out. i saw a young soldier boy holding the hand of an old grandma, too, and it was a really great missed photo op, too. i want to document all the cool people and 
sweet images i see! next time! (the crappy photo is of my favorite local store, "artbox." the sign above the girl's head says "hello? welcome to happy shop makes exciting for you")
