Every weekend I usually walk down the street to get pizza and bottle of coke. This usually occurs around 2:30PM, which is when I wake up after a night of drinking. Nothing hits the spot like something greasy. The pizza costs about $6.50 with the soda and I usually get a pepperoni or a bulgogi. At pizza restaurants like Pizza Hut or Mr. Pizza, pizza is a lot more expensive. The green circle in the corner of the box is a pack of pickles, which is served normally with pizza in Korea. I'm not a big fan of pickles so I never eat them.

Brian in Jeollanam-do is leaving.

This article is on Brian Deutsch, some of his thoughts on blogging in Korea, and what he'll do in the future. If you're in Korea and haven't managed to come across his blog yet, then you must be really bad at using the internetz. Anyway, the article is pretty interesting. He talks about how his blog has managed to get him into some hot water. It's some crazy shit. Anyway, I'm currently scheming to somehow get all his readers to follow my blog after he leaves.

Simple Nap

A guy I know made this site. It's an alarm clock in your browser and it's pretty awesome. Let's you pick a song to wake up to even.

YES!

JERSEY SHORE SEASON 2 CONFIRMED!

I'm blaming the fact that I'm in Korea is the reason why I'm always so late on hearing the news, but season 2 is confirmed. There's no mention of Angelina in the article either, so maybe we should all be expecting a new cast member? I'm not too sure though. I've also read other reports stating that all the cast members accepted $10,000 an episode for the second series. Strangely enough, a TMZ article mentions that they'll be going to a different location. I'm not sure where that could be but my bets are on Miami.

What I learned in Korean this week:

This is taken from The Korea Times. It might be the only thing I'll ever need to learn.

So, I just finished reading a Korean comic series.

So I read a lot of manga, Japanese comics, and I usually read these online. However, last night I stumbled upon a Korean comic, a manhwa. At first I didn't know what it was but I figured it out real quick after learning that it read from left to right and through the characters' names. I'm not too familiar with any manhwa and this is my first real encounter with it, but it looks like I'll eventually be reading more. The one I read, The Snow Queen, wasn't bad but by no means was it any good. The premise is pretty normal, a rich girl and a poor and troubled boy fall in love. The first few chapters are really scattered and the timeline is a little hard to follow. It comes together about halfway through the series though. The series was also a drama aired on television from what I've gathered. I'm not sure which came first though. If you're at all interested in checking it out, then you can read the entire series at mangatoshokan. It's a pretty short read at only 18 chapters and about 16 pages per chapter.

If you do want to read it, I apologize because I have to post two pages on here because they're just too funny to pass up. Don't worry, it's an insignificant scene and happens really early in the series. Anyway, this one girl is being made fun of by this other group of people for not knowing English then this other dude comes to save her. I've circled the parts that are meant to be read in English and that weren't translated from Korean. You can tell because it's in a different font.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?
