Playing Catch Up

( Richie was here )

I haven't posted a blog update since I was back in America. First, when I returned to Korea, I broke my hand skateboarding. This left me unwilling to put forth the effort to update this. The doctor for this mishap was absolutely terrible. He didn't set it right the first time, so when I returned a week later, he broke it again and reset it. Pretty awesome, huh? On the plus side, it only cost me 24,000 won ($24). Moving on, it is all healed up now, but once I got the cast off, I had compiled so much to update that the task seemed rather daunting. I put it off, and put it off some more, but now is the time.

  1. Nice Picture, I want to go in Korea also, Most korean people are really nice towards anyone. They joke around ALOT though. Also if you show an interest in the culture, such as trying new things, not looking like a douch, and respecting elders you'll fit right in, and even the adults will find a liking to you. If you're the youngest, act like your the youngest. Offer help to older people, and just be nice to people.
