Expect more posts from me hopefully

So I've been thinking, and I should be blogging more than I am. There's so much to tell, and I haven't given the people what they want. I think it's cuz I only wanted to say what was truly important and interesting to people, but now, I'm just going to treat this the way I did my xanga. I'll write about tons of stuff. I'll post random video clips again, say how my day went, and post the ocassional philosophical post.

So today, I went to see Cloverfield with Youn Gi Young (for those of you who have seen my film Twin Dragons, he's the good guy twin in the film ^__^). Man, Cloverfield was by far the loudest movie I've ever seen in my life. But it was also the most realistic, engrossing, and shocking monster film I've ever seen. If you are planning on seeing this movie, you MUST go see it in the theater. It would be a great injustice to watch this on anything but a 300 inch screen (I'm not really sure how big theater screens are ^__^)

This weekend I met a lot of new people. I met this one couple that a co-worker introduced me to. They were really nice people, and they might be able to show me some more traditional Korean sites. I also met two of Gi Young's cousins. And on the subway back today, a random guy started talking to me. And 9 times out of 10, if a middle-aged man comes up to and starts speaking English with a big grin on his face, it usually means he's drunk. But this guy was actually a pastor, so that was cool. And with all of these new meetings, basically, none of these people spoke much English at all. So it was a great chance for me to practice my Korean.

Which is another update. for the past 2 months, I've really kicked into gear with studying Korean. I study for about an hour a day now, and I'd say I've greatly improved. I'm still very bad, but I can talk about general things now, and can interject in a conversation ocassionally now. I still have a long way to go, but I'm happy with my progress right now.

Since I don't really have much time to show videos of my trip here, I can at least share some videos of Korean culture. This is a clip from a very funny Korean variety show. All the people on this show are big celebrities in Korea, and they basically come on and do really goofy things. In this clip, they have to re-enact scenes from famous TV shows, while changing it up a bit. The thing I find so hilarious in this clip is how much this one guy, Park Myung Soo, overacts. He's known for always yelling, and it's hillarious in this segment. He's the guy in the pink shirt that keeps getting slapped. Let me know if you think it's as hillarious as I do.
