I got a bike!

My friend Carrie helped me buy a bike yesterday. It is super sweet - an orange folding Dahon Litesse. It's a 7 speed steel bike (if you're curious) and folds up small enough to fit in the front seat of a taxi, or lug uncomfortably on the crowded Seoul metro circle line.

After buying the bike Carrie and I went out for some vegan food. I had the 'protein stew' which was pretty delicious. Then we went and met a crowd at this bar called 'Mary Jane's' which had surprisingly awesome music. We were all out for our friend Natalie's 26th birthday. After that it was off to a club where you had to descend down 3 flights of stairs to get in. It was styled like a cave with a big dance floor in the middle and all these weird little nooks and sitting areas everywhere. There was not a fire escape to be found and it was actually difficult to find the door when we left. It was covered in beads and like a heavy fur pelt. Safe.

Despite my hangover I took the bike out to explore a bit today. Here it is at the pedestrian train crossing and in front of some abandoned flower shops:

  2. Sweet bike dahg. Long time no talk, which I guess is good because it seems you are getting assimilated (at least with the English speaking Korean living crowd). Let me know when you want to chat.
