The worst part about having a grandiose weekend in Seoul is Monday back on your bumkin island where traffic in the morning is caused by a tractor on the highway.

I sit here wondering where I should start. Where SHOULD I start? Shi Bal...

I learned that word today(not sure how it's spelled in hangeul: 시 발 ...?). Anyway, it's really my first word. The most important word one needs to know. It can describe moments of anger, exuberance, surprise, lonesomeness, disappointment, etc, etc. This word, if used as pervasively as it's english equivalent, could make my lack of Korean study these past couple months completely irrelevant, and put me back in the prime of my abilities. Why? Because I now know how to say the F-word. That's right. 시 발 , you 시 발 로 마 .
