David Rambles On in Strange Tongues

What I have the pleasure of offering you today is a genuine video featuring me and various interviews about my experience as an expatriate living in the Mapo ward of Seoul. Now, unless you're interested in practicing your Korean or simply enjoy seeing me utter my wisdom, no matter how incomprehensible it may be, I don't recommend that you actually WATCH the whole thing.

Later, if anyone is really interested, I could type up a transcript of the video.

(Note: like most Korean websites, this one is not compatible with firefox or other alternate browsers. You will probably have to use internet explorer to watch it.)

Holy hell, you and Owen are on a Korean website, and you are talking all in Korean, and I have no idea what you are saying, and the music is sooo incredible. Is bi bim bob your favorite Korean food? And you teach English! Fantastic! I want a transcript. Though, that might take some time, you long-winded talker you.

Very nice, David. If you want encouragement, watch that video, and know that since I last saw you, you knew about zero Korean.

Also, we moved houses here in Champaign, and I have a smaller room, and I want a ko, so I can roll my mattress up in the morning, but I can't find any online. Do you know where to find a good ko?
