Weather is starting to warm up, but it is still not uncomfortably hot. I keep my doors and windows open and thus far have not needed to use the A/C. The mosquitos are out however. I’ve killed a couple in the house, and woke up this morning with a bite on the belly. Got to keep the screens closed on the doors to the balcony….
Anyway, I’ve mentioned how I spend some time up on the roof. There’s a nice view up there and usually a good breeze. I take my chair, boombox, and cooler of beer up there and most days have the place all to myself. Here’s some photos I took a couple of weeks ago….
In other news, it appears that one of the bars I enjoyed visiting for a little pool and conversation has closed. No idea what happened to Lucky Strike, I was there Wednesday and everything was cool. But it has been closed all weekend, and bars do not close on weekends. There are lots of bars in Itaewon, but finding a comfortable place without Juicy girls, loud music, or big crowds is not so easy. I also enjoyed the company of Eun Ja, the barkeep. When it was quiet she would consent to kicking my ass at pool. I would reciprocate by beating her at chess.
And in case you are wondering, the answer is no. She just turned 30. And she has a boyfriend. In fact, she told me he is the jealous type and he asked her about me. Her response: “you mean that old guy?” Ouch.
Anyway, I will miss Lucky Strike.
Hey, John. These are interesting. BUT: Isn’t it time for the next installment of flower photos? Have you done that same hike again to see what’s growing now?
Wow…those are some pretty cool pics from your roof! I’m jealous.
not a bad view for the 72,000 American dollars prepaid five year rent you forked over to the Korean Landowner.
Over here the same deal would have cost you well over 225,000 American dollars.
Well, actually it was $94,000 for two years….
Wonderful view, reminds me of a few roof tops or close to the roof. Glad you can enjoy.
Another Dead Mosquito
A little mosquito once sat on my arm,
her evil intent was to cause me some harm.
To stick in her proboscis and suck up my blood,
leaving behind a sore itch I must rub.
I think its quite mean doing something like that….
So I raised my right hand and I swatted her flat.
Wow that looks familiar – if memory serves me I lived in Hannam Village bldg I 1308 (’89-’91) – I have some shots of that ridge from the mosque to the church too.
