The Cast of Characters

So who have I been gallivanting around Korea with you ask? Let me introduce the new buddies.



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-dawg

Really, 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.

So 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!

I 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!
