Downtown Gwangju
The food aint half bad, lots of meat & greens, very spicy. It already gave me "the runs"... urgh! The people we are working with are awesome, we've already been out for Dinner & Soju Cocktails (which can be lethal, as you can't even taste the Soju, mmm!) I'm starting to perfect my chopstick skills... ok that's a lie. I'm shite with a pair of wooden sticks. Give me a feckin' fork already!
Soju Cocktails & chopstick drinking games.
The Korean people are generally nice, they like to stop you in the street & try talk to you, and the kids stare at you which is hilarious. Some little 10 year old kid in a leopard print coat sold me beer in a store yesterday. The Koreans really like their "active walking gear" and they also like to dress their poor dogs up in "gear too".
"Gear" wearing Korean Lady picking up her "gear" wearing dogs Poo. Good for her!
Went to The Park with Shane & his friend Matt yesterday. Well it's not a park like we know it, there was not an inch of grass, more of a cement park if you will... ?? The boys climbed a huge unguarded climbing wall & i wrote down my thoughts & read my Russell Brand Memoir while being chatted up by old Korean people who seem to think if i'm white... i MUST be American. It came as quite a shock that alas... I am Irish. Yay for me! I think they liked me more... no offence America!! .....Obama Fo Yo Mama!! :)

I agree - it does look awfully like the towers in Ballymun! Glad to see the "culture shock" didn't stop you from noticing a lady picking up Poo - oh the excitement of it all! You could see that in Ballymun too I'm sure - but who know's if it'd be a dogs!
I also notice there is 2 Poo references in this blog - is this going to be a "running theme" - ha?
Excuse the pun! :)
