I can’t risk you not seeing this video. And yes, that is me on the right.

We have been wandering around Seoul etc. for the last few days and today I am too tired to go anywhere but maybe for a hike, so I am forced to do a post, I guess. Just kidding, not being forced. I missed you, intertubes! I am sorry I have forsaken you.  But look!  We found a store named after me!  How cool is that?

O.k. so yesterday we went to the pancake place again, where I ORDERED FRUIT AND YOGURT. Either remind me how ridiculous I can be or congratulate me on having some self-control. Then we got lost wandered around a bit until we found decided to hop back on the subway and head to the giant book store with the miniature English section where we bought a Thailand travel book (!) and some Vonnegut (!). We walked through a park dedicated to a war with Japan, and found National Treasure Number 2 there. The pictures obviously don’t do it justice, but I guess National Treasures need to be preserved in glass. Way to ruin the shot, Korea.

We were hot and sticky but managed to get in a good schlepper pic:

Please note how delighted I am that Sweaty Jake is touching me.

Anyway, we didn’t get home until about 9pm, had dinner, watched L&O (of course!) and then hosed off, except, wait, what is that coming out of the probably cow whale bone we found on the beach? Of course. A million tiny, yellow worms. And they’re ALL OVER THE BATHROOM. Yum. And if you know Jake at all, you know I dealt with the whole fiasco, while he stood on the kitchen chair for 30 minutes, shaking. The man does not like worms, but thankfully, I LOVE THEM SO IT WASN’T HORRIFYING AT ALL, WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE BATHROOM. Eh, hem. Sorry–no accompanying photo for this episode.

Here’s a pic of our sweet new booming sound system. It cost $20, but believe me when I tell you it sounds likes it’s worth AT LEAST $35.
