Jen and Jeff Dawseng. The Newly Weds
Jen and Jeff were the first people I spoke to upon arriving in Korea. They had went through the same recruiting company as I had and we commiserated over the absolutely asinine organization of company. While they were whisked away by the Office of Education, Kelly and I were (demanded to be) driven to the (expensive) hotel we had booked. When I met up with the two again, they a little worse for wear (no sleep and too much kimchi for the first 36 hours in Korea) but I knew they'd be awesome. Since then they've been the best newly-weds I've ever met. Right, I forgot that part. They got married 3 weeks before they came to Korea. Those crazy kids!
Richard. The Brit.I first met Dickey during the orientation week when he was sitting outside with his orientation-week-roommate Eric. He mocked the fact that I was reading the orientation handbook and I questioned him about life in Seoul (he has been here for a year already). Since then he's become the guide to restaurants and watering holes in Seoul with an extensive knowledge of Itaewon. I hold him responsible for many ridiculous evenings - most notably the Norae Bang Episode of October '07. Some day, though, we may get married to complete the 'Friends' quadrangle.
K-dawgReally, I couldn't explain our friendship any better than she did here - see "The Balling Chronicles"
Dude! Best picture of Richard EVER! I have to question the picture of me though - I look like it's paining me! I thought this was BEFORE the purse reaching incident. Good lord. Going to pop some ibuprofen now.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, I love Kelly's description of your friendship and I love you. A lot. Like, A lot a lot a lot. BTW, Blogger has a new flickr picture plug-in that is prettier than the current one! It's under your page editor page thingy...Miss you!
ReplyDeleteI just calculated our wedding and arrival in Korea... (August 9th married, August 21st departure...)it was 2 weeks after we got married that we arrived here!! That really is madness!
