More airline food and random Korea pics

I've been collecting a lot of pics I want to blog about, so Im going to try to upload 5 of them a day... this is the second batch!


Don't fly JAL (Japan airlines)... I was so unimpressed with the food they had to offer... this was what they gave everyone... there was no vegetarian option. Im pretty sure that stuff on the left was rice... I can't really remember... and the stuff on top of it... I have no idea what that was, but it was some kind of fish... maybe like a shell fish or shrimp... I don't know, but it had a REALLY strong smell to it! On the right were some Japanese style veggies, some were really watery like the stuff I talked about in the previous post. And there was some fruit cocktail. It wasn't really good... but maybe this is one of those low cost airlines... but for the price I didn't expect a cold meal.
This is my building the day after a fire brunt out the whole 7th floor! I was actually on my way to grab some breakfast (I wasn't working on this day) when I saw it... no one called me or anything to let me know... I was kinda shocked! But needless to say we had a few days off of work! And for the next few months the whole building reeked of toxic fumes! It was not cool... I had to throw out most of the stuff on my walls because it was covered in soot! I work on the 10th floor so nothing was burned, but the smoke got up there. And some cleaning people came through and threw away a lot of stuff that belonged to people... including me, and a lot of it was stuff that could have been cleaned and used again! I couldn't understand this. Anyway, Its all back to "normal" now and they rebuilt the 7th floor (which looks much nicer now) but there is still evidence of soot everywhere... I moved some furniture today and had to wash my hands cause they were black.


I just thought this was a funny sign... I took this picture a while ago so I cant remember where I saw it, but thats Korean above the English there so I know it had to be Korea... Kinda looks like you are washing your hands with sound waves :)
This was my alien resident card last time around... I had to return it :( so sad... If I fill out a police report and claim mine as lost then I can get a new one... but I guess thats a tad unethical... so I took a picture... its a lot easier to keep anyway.

sigh... Korea... The most interesting thing about Korea is Koreans. Here we have a group of Korean travelers (and yes I know they were Korean cause they were speaking Korean... not Japanese or Chinese or some other language) And if you look you can see they are all wearing bright yellow vests. I can only assume that is because they are part of a group and want to stick together and make it easy to find each other. This is a perfect example of Confucian traditions in action. Do not burden the group by trying to be a stylist individual when you can simplify things and sacrifice your appearance for the good of the group... hehe, this place rocks.

On a sad note... I have always said "I would love to be a published writer"... not that that means much cause I have also always said things like: "I wish I were a mermaid" "I wish I had a Pegasus" "I wish I could read minds" etc. But for some reason I feel like the idea of being a writer is slightly more attainable that those other aspirations. The other night, when I was falling asleep, I had an absolutely wonderful idea for a book.. probably more like a teen age type book... and I thought to myself "this is awesome, I will totally remember this in the morn and I can start to develop the idea on my breaks at work" Sometimes I wonder if I know myself at all... of course I have completely forgotten the idea... Its kinda like the song Tribute by Tenacious D (GOD I love them!) But, its a sad loss... perhaps someday I will come up with another great idea.. and that time I will start taking notes right away... I promise!
