Caffe Bene

Korean t-shirts are in a very distinct language called "Konglish." Literally, an attempt at the English language by over worked Koreans. Things like:

Sitting around at a coffee shop called Caffe Bene, a Korean girl walked by with a shirt that says:

"Adventure, its pun."

Haha, i don't think it means "pun" as in play of words, as much as...the f and p thing that gets confused from culture to culture. Few examples??




Thanks Brad for the awesome pictures...you're super hardcore.


Anyway, adventure is fun. This is why:



Tiny little town at the southern most point of mainland Korea.


About 45 minutes outside of Haenam, yes that gorgeous place, is __?__, its awesome. Go if you're in Korea. (seriously all I know is that it starts with a "T")

82 people just arrived in the general area that is Mokpo/Gwangju. About 45 minutes apart, Gwangju has become my new Austin, and Mokpo is my new San Marcos. Odd, as I've got a week and a half off in Korea, and I chose to apply to graduate schools and watch burn notice.

Pardon my psyche switch which just was activated by the 3 applications I'm working on. I've always been very hardcore about behavior dictating cognition. I'm not saying that I'm bored with Korea, its a great life which I love. However, I've spent these 12 days in Mokpo for a reason.

Probably because of this:


Fremantle, Australia. Notre Dame. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA. Ok, so its a 2 year MA degree in counselling (note the 2 l's), and its about the same price as Texas State or University of Houston. Not that money should decide which graduate school to attend, things like my cornerstone "Choice Theory" my friends know way too much about.

Notre Dame offers extended training in Choice Theory and all things Glasser. I think that is the coffin nail.

Other schools won't even let me email a fucking piece of paper...remember the grace of dr. grayson? thanks texas state...remember, I'm 14 hours ahead of you, and your professors tell me that...

"your personality can only take you so far" (ugh)

I got off the phone with Ms. Cassidy of Notre Dame, and saw this Korean girl with "Adventure, its pun." Jesus, it is. I'm literally between 3 continents as to where I will end up next June for my 25th birthday. Korea, Australia, America. I guess Don on Mad Men was right...

"the problem with young people is they don't know they're young"

Cheers from Mokpo. See ya soon C!
