So you wanna hear music?
So you wanna hear music? Glad you asked.
You know I've felt bad that my podcast show has been silent for over a month now, but my external hard drive with all my content was left in Korea and is just now being shipped (hopefully) carefully (hopefully!!!) back to me here. So even I've been struggling with a lack of tunes to live life to.
Well, until the next podcast, feel free to listen to guys so much better than I. Although it's not Korean, my all-time most lovable DJ, Mr. Scruff, has a online radio show I just discovered that you might find interesting. it's called hot pot radio--have a listen.
If it's a little too wacky for you, there's a much wider range of stuff available from milkaudio's archive, spanning back to way back when....2000!
Ok, enjoy...and don't get spoiled and stop looking for the podcast.

I'm sluggish. I'm not easily
I'm sluggish. I'm not easily excited. I'm sleeping a lot more (and, subsequently, surfing a lot less). I can't seem to get up to full speed. My mind is constantly cloudy for no apparent reason. My theory? Ironically, I think I may be experiencing culture shock.
Before I went to Korea I read a book about differences in culture and etiquette between the two countries. One thing it noted is that it can be detrimental to push yourself too hard; you are encountering a new world, and even at the subconscious level you're already working on overtime. The signs around you, the people talking as you pass--all that your mind would have recognized subconsciously in your country, now it's having to acquaint itself with something uncharted. They said this to make you aware that even though you feel like you're lagging behind, you're really going 100%.
That's kinda how I feel here. Even though I clearly understand every word on a sign or most going past me (there's a lot of different languages going on around here), there's still the fact that no one here understands anything that I've done in the past year. A month ago, everything I was doing made sense to everyone; now it's so hard to explain.
Friday my father was nice enough to suggest eating at a Korean restuarant. The food was okay, but what got me was that we all ate separately. Everyone relegated their eating to their own plate. Even the gochu pajeon! That dish made me....homesick(?), thinking about all the good times I went out with friends and acquaintances at places like Mu Dae Po (sorry, no korean fonts at work yet).
I say I need to stop thinking so much about Korea, but the more I try to ignore it the sadder I get. Some might call it Hostage Syndrome :P I think Fru is feeling a bit of it too; she said she's been spending time looking though old photos since she's been back.
I'm not sure what I want to do now. I hope this rough patch will be done with soon. If anyone has any suggestions, let a brother know.

Ruminations in Korea : The Plight of English Institute Teachers in Korea.
Does this sound like something I'd say or what?
"I personally do not frequent places many places where English teachers hang out. One of the reasons is that I get easily frustrated watch�a bunch of�grubby, unkempt, long greasy-haired men and other people that look like they crawled out of the shallow end of the gene pool and into Darwin%u2019s waiting room gripe about how they are treated badly at work.� They should be lucky they are allowed to work looking like that.� I think all institutes should have strict dress codes.� However, suggesting a written dress code is unnecessary as every Korean knows how to dress for work.� It%u2019s just the foreigners how walk around with the attitude of %u201CI%u2019ve just got to be me.� What does it matter how I look if I do my job well?%u201D� The short answer is that to Koreans, it matters A LOT what people look like.� You as a foreigner are more noticeable and should therefore be trying extra hard to get the respect you so desparately want, but so seldom deserve.� Appearance and attitude go a long way to help avoid problems and to help resolve problems that do occur."
