…I did this weekend.
Kicked off Saturday morning with my customary Namsan excurision.
I’m running out of new angles from which to photograph Seoul Tower…
It was however a fine autumn morning. Hardly broke a sweat…
And the city was looking fine in the clear morning air…
And then it became Saturday night. And this Saturday was the day of the annual Halloween celebration. And by celebrate I mean drunken debauchery. I had swore to never get caught up in that madness again after last year’s fiasco. But the GF had other ideas.
Just go ahead and shoot me now please.
I hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since the 1980s…
But I decided to just kick back and enjoy myself…
Fellow revelers…
Anyway, the night did not turn out as bad as I expected it would. So that’s a win.
This morning I was up bright and early. What to cook?
Considered bositang but went the a pot roast in the crockpot instead…
Then it was off for a jaunt along the Han riverside.
On the way down I encountered a large group of folks marching down the highway. This is just the trailing remnant, there were at least a couple hundred of marchers. Marching for what purpose I cannot say…
And then I came across this 1950 Chevrolet in cherry condition. How it got here I have no idea. I made a mental note that while in was being manufactured in Detroit war was raging on the peninsula. But this morning all was peaceful.
Made it to the river and had to pee. I was touched that the graffiti writer on the restroom wall had taken the time to helpful translate his wit into English. The meaning however remains lost on me.
Nonetheless it was a beautiful walk, both heading out…
And returning. Went as far as Seoul Forest Park. Good for 22,000+ steps all told…
In other news, I’ve reached a political decision which I will share here without further comment. Surprised?
In the end it was really a no-brainer…
Speaking of the election, I was really surprised to see this group of war veterans overwhelmingly supports Hillary. The race will not be as close as predicted if this is any indication.
Got stood up for my dart match this afternoon which pissed me off.
And a big and busy week on tap, including guests from my higher headquarters in Hawaii, a trip down to Humphreys, and various meetings of dubious value.
And that’s all I’ve got for you. As commenter Sojuhoncho is wont to say:
Peace Out!
“Marching for what purpose I cannot say…”
As you’ve probably guessed by now, they were probably protestors agitating for Park Geun-hye to resign and/or to be impeached (on Twitter, this is being hashtagged as #Choigate or #ChoisunshilGate).
Great walk!
Sorry. Too many “probably”s. When I was young, my mother used to mispronounce the word by adding a syllable and changing the stress:
“pruh-BAH-buh-blee”
Wait a minute. Did I miss something? Are you and daisy dukes back together? Got a kick out of the pic of you at the bar showing some leg. Did anyone buy you a juicy drink? When I looked at the ballot slip I was wtf. Then I read it again. Good one. I’m pulling the lever for donald because if he wins we’ll have the hottest first lady in the free world. Peace out!

Kevin: Two probably’s in one sentence is probably okay. Yeah, I thought of the Park thing but this march didn’t seem to be a protest, at least the marchers didn’t seem to fit that normal demographic. Lots of families pushing kids in strollers and the like. I noticed most of them were carrying blue balloons although I don’t know what they were intended to signify.
Soju, re: Daisy. It’s complicated. One day at a time is my motto. No juicy drinks, but I’m pretty sure some perv was trying to get an upskirt shot. Oh wait, that was me. Never mind…
Aha!…so you se you are not alone…lol…just enjoy the opportunity to be happy anyway….glad to see you smiling….and…political??…well God bless America, John is not going to retire with u anyway….joke!
That must have been some Halloween party. Did you check your phone in the morning to piece the night back together and said,”I did what?”
Bradl, Nope. I don’t want to remember!
Long as u wake with nice peace it’s good
