Anyong haseyo, bumface.Look at that - we made it to 30! Hooray!Given that I've been writing these things for a good way over two years (albeit recently with a more geological regularity than back in the day), I grant you that this isn't the most towering of achievements. But anyways, here we are at 30, and being as the world opted some time ago for a base-10 counting system, it gives us some

Anyong hasseyo, fucknut!Before you start, I know it's been ages and I know I've been promising to update for ages too, but I've been really, really busy.Doing what? Well, since we last communicated in this fashion, I've changed jobs, changed apartments, grown my hair slightly longer and been on holiday to New York, and those are the sort of things that will keep a chap's every spare minute

Anyong hasseyo,What up?I promise I will update this soon. It's just that I've been really busy for the, er, past six months. Really, I have. Rilly, rilly busy. I'll tell you all about it when I get around to writing the next update, which will be in the next week or so, I swear down.Until then, I'll leave you with the latest news from the world of biscuits.Anyongi kasaeyo,S

Anyong hasseyo, nitwit. No small talk, thank you - let's just get down to business: Here are the answers to the true-or-false quiz from a couple of weeks ago. It is indisputable that technology is the cornerstone of the modern Korean economy. Ever since China and South-East Asia began to undercut them in the manufacturing sector, the government has made hi-tech research and development its

Anyong hasseyo, sunshine. What's crack-a-lacking? Remember ages ago when we had a Korea true-or-false quiz? Well that's what we're doing again today, right here and right now. Ten questions, answer true or false, first correct respondent wins a dried squid, some cuttlefish and a crappy wooden fan. Alright already? Okay, let's go .1) It is indisputable that technology is the cornerstone

And all the sweating is taking its toll – I've been putting athlete's foot cream on them for days, but they're still itching like bejesus. Anyway, enough on that; we have a bigger fish to fry: viz.

Well I can't help that, but I can do something to relieve a little of the tension and that's give you the answers to last week's fun true-or-false quiz. Will that do you for now? Okay, let's go.1) Thunder and lightening may be a tedious meteorological fact of life to the most of us, but to Koreans they're something more sacred. In fact,

Anyong hasseyo, cowboy.How's things? Yeah? Grr-rr-eat!Now lookee here - this isn't a proper update but rather a fun quiz, just because it's Friday. It'll brighten your day and lighten your mood, no doubt, but I'm making you no guarantees.The rules are plain simple: There follows ten concise and succint statements and each one figuring to detail an actuality from the daily lot of the Korean.

Yeah, not so bad, but let's not fuck around with pleasantries; let's get straight down to business.I've been here for ten months now and, nimbly asiding the inevitable response on time's flyingness, I thought it might be interesting to revisit some themes addressed in prior reports to see if the progress of time allows us to add additional

"Mind your own friggin' beeswax!" you most likely continue, after a sufficient period of assessment. You would, however, be mistaking my intention.

And I mean that.How was your Christmas? Yeah? Excellent. Mine? Well, let me tell you...As you may or may not know, Michelle and I spent the Xmas period in 'Nam, as in Viet Nam.

If you're wearing a tie, then loosen it a shade, and it might be wise to take your shoes off too. If you're prone to fitting, then bite down on something appropriately yielding.

Annyongh hasseyo, chumpychops.How's things? It's been a while, hasn't it? I can't really say that a great deal has happened in the time since the last report, but I have been to the DMZ and to a theme park and to the toilet around 140 times (of which about 22 were 'sit-down visits'). I've also bought myself a shiny new laptop, and I'm using it to write this right here right now. This means that

Annyongh,I submit the following as an addendum to Report 18.1. It consists one item:ITEM: Photograph of a sex chair.From the above, you will note the following (l-r):hassock for added comfort during lingual stimulation of the pudendum; ankle- or footrests (the latter function permitting greater power of reverse-thrust expulsion); the sessibulum masculinum or 'he' seat;the sessibulum femininum or

And the smell! But anyway, if you've got something for it, it should clear right up.First off, I would like to apologise to anyone who found the previous report too salty. I would like to assure you that future

Annyongh hasseyo, goggins.If you've just arrived here via the 'teaser' email, then the answer is, of course, that (ahem) they're both stuck up c*nts. Aren't you glad you came?And if you found that salty, then I hope you don't suffer from hypertension, as things are about to get a whole lot saltier. Don't worry though - the forecast isn't for continued saltiness, but we are due a brief heavy

Annyongh hasseyo, sucker.How are things there? Okay? Good.Well here we are, finally - the last email of my 20's. The next report you receive will be from a thirty-something. Urgh. It seems somehow appropriate that I should be entering the Decade of Defeated Dreams here, in South Korea, this Belgium of The Orient.As you might have guessed, I'm not making the transition into my fourth decade

Annyongh hasseyo, twunts.How's it going? Sorry it's been so long but I've been busy with work and drinking and personal matters. I've also been devoting a considerable amount of time to planning how best to commemorate my 30th birthday, which, in case you don't know, is next Wednesday. As far as I'm concerned, it's an occasion that scarce warrants celebration, as I feeling nothing remotely close

If you look carefully, you'll see it's changed from what it normally is. This is because for the last fourteen weeks I've been saying it wrong. It's not 'AMyongh' at all, but 'ANN'.

Very well indeed.Just a brief update this week, as I'm busy preparing to pay a flying visit to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland later this week. And as flying visits go, this one must be up there with the flyingest. I arrive at Heathrow on Thursday morning, get the train to Durham on

If you are not a London type, stop reading this instant.As I said in 12.2, I shall be back in London for one day only this Thursday (24th). It would be absolutely super to see you, so why not come along for a beer at the John Snow on Broadwick Street, Soho at or shortly after 7pm? Here's a map: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=W1F+

Sorry this report is being submitted four days late, but as I explained last week, I've been away for a few days, though not as I originally claimed to Pajeon (which is actually a type of Korean omlette), but to Paju. What is there in Paju? Significantly less than what there is in a Korean omlette as it

Summer's got under way in proper fashion in the past week, banishing the rains to vague recall and heating the air to the mid-thirties. Coupled with the high humidity, it's led to an outbreak of uncontrollable perspiration from your moist correspondent here. The weather makes your British (

Amyongh kasseyo,Sorry - just a quick addendum to the earlier report: One of my students is flying to London at the end of the week to start a grand tour of Europe. She's travelling on her own and is worried that she'll be out of her depth in London - especially as she's been learning English from me. I told her I'd ask around and see if anyone was free on Sunday afternoon to show her around.She

Amyonghi hasseyo, bugger-lugs.First up, let me apologise for the late submission of this report. I've spent the weekend at the Portapoint Rock Festival in Incheon (just outside of Seoul), and I was too poorly to attempt to write anything yesterday. In fact, I spent all of yesterday laid prone in bed watching rubbish American TV shows, apart from four hours in the early part of the day, during

Not too bad, I suppose, but I've got an issue to deal with before we get down to business this week.After last week, I received an email from one Nicholas 'I live in Henley' Clark, that slammed Progress Report 8.1 as, *ahem*, 'lacklustre'. Yes, lacklustre. As in 'lacking brilliance'. In fairness, I'm happy to concede that last week's

Amyongh hasseyo, chaps.Ooh, you're looking well. Have you started working out or something? No? Well something's giving you a particularly healthy glow. Whatever it is, keep it up. You look great.Anyway, it's that time of the week again. I'm happy to be here hiding out at the 'PC bang' as at home, my phone's been ringing out every twenty minutes or so since lunchtime. I know who it is calling (

Amyongh Hasseyo,Right,I promised it and here it is - your very own dogmeat factfile. Enjoy.WOOF! The practice of eating dogmeat is most commonly associated with Korea, but if you think it's just a Korean thing, you'd be barking up the wrong tree. The Chinese also eat dogs (and much else besides) and the practice is thought to originate from there.WOOF! If you're planning on walking into a

Amyong hasseyo,How you doing? Yeah? Tell me about it.Once again, I'm submitting this progress report from a mire of post-intoxication filthiness, having spent the day yesterday at a 'music festival' in Itaewon. As you'll no doubt recall, Itaewon is where Seoul's ex-pat community is based, and you'll also recall that, in concurrence with the long-standing tradition of ex-pat communities, it's

Kasseyo,Here's a few food photos that aren't that good. But you're here now - you may as well have a butcher's...Here's me registering my disapproval 0f pickled yellow radish. It's hard, it's vinegary and frankly, it can piss off. Ahh, some kimchi! Now that's more like it...A mandu - proper! Now this is more like it! Mouthwatering sannakji, still in the tank and fresh as you like... That is all,

Kasseyo,How's it going? Yeah? Same here.Well, chaps, I'm submitting this report with a subdued air, reaching out as I am from the petrochemical haze of a Korean beer hangover and the disabling malaise of another England disappointment. Yes, I'm disappointed. Not with the team, and not with the fans, and not even with the actions our potato-headed star striker; no, I'm disappointed that when I

Kssseyo,Here's some photos of me either touching or being close enough to smell various Koreans...This is me with two Koreans, swearing.Here's me swearing at a Canadian. Koreans occupy the other places at the table.Here's me swearing at a Canadian out of shot.Here's a tasty waitress. The pose affected is the result of medical condition that afflicts many, many Koreans. Symptoms are only exhibited

Kasseyo,What up? How's it going? Here's this week's report on my progress in Korea. Not too much to tell you about this week, but I'll try and keep it upbeat nonetheless. Perhaps by making some stuff up.Food news: Well, after the cold, slimey fishyness of last week's hoe and sannakji, I was of a mind this week to eat something that wasn't akin to going down on an eskimo. (If you find this simile

Kaseyo,What up?Just a quick note to update you on some food news - I have now eaten hoe (pronounced as 'hweh', but as quick as you can) and sannakji (pronounced as 'you f*cking wot?!' - you'll understand shortly.)Firstly, the hoe. It's the Korean version of sushi, but without the frills and kerfuffle of the stuff you get in Japan. Here, if you want raw fish, you get raw fish. A whole one.

Amyong Kasseyo,How's things? Yeah? Good to hear.Question for you: How many toilet rolls do you think you get through in a year? Assuming that your lifestyle remains stable, your diet consistent and you don't contract amoebic dysentry, how many individual leaves of bumwad do you think you foul, moisten or otherwise render non-reusable in a twelve month period? The figure could be expressed in a

Amyong kasseyo (that's Korean for ayup),How you doing? I've been in Korea over a week now so I thought I'd better let you know my findings thus far. It's been an eventful week-or-so, full of new experiences and slightly novel types of hangover. I've met lots of new people, kept a grip on my frustration that they can't speak English, and heavens, I've even tried to teach a few of them. Korea is a
