Rent A Evening Gown In Ny

The Girls, Buddha and the Plastic Couch



The girls are gone now but we had a pretty agitated couple of weeks together. They came and visited us from Germany.. our bestest friends ever... Silke "the red Hawk" AKA Ramona Fox and the ever so dangerous Simone "tight panty" Armoire.. no explanation needed.


We travelled quite a lot togehter throughout Korea.. Darling man, the Girls, Brady the dog and of course yours truly - me.

I could probably write a short novel telling you the stories and all our adventures but I'll start with telling you one.

We took the car to the southern part of the peninsula, about 4,5 hrs away from Seoul. Gyeongju is a beautiful place, or at least it could be If it weren't for the city itself. Like the most of Korea, Gyeongju is no exception, it is full of postwar, quickly and badly built buildings, quiche french style, yet "oh so not french" cafes but remains, nonetheless one of the best destinations in Korea to do tourism due to it's historical past.

Don't get me wrong I mean it's not that I expect everything to be beautiful there are beautiful places in Korea it's just, I haven't been there yet nor have I been anywhere where the people try so hard to make something that could be so beautiful, so gorgeous look like a garbage dump, and then be proud about it. And to my dismay it's been like that everywhere I've been to here so far.

Anyway, we got to THE place to be in Gyeongju: the Temple site. We got there and saw some temples... some Buddha statues... some buildings... When we were out we almost simultaneously said, "Seen one temple, seen them all.." Ok, sarcasm aside it was nice. Great Buddha paintings statues, temples and all.

Anyway, we were staying at a "Ritzy" resort at the border of a lake surrounded by nature, hills, lakes, the historical sites of the ancient Silla civilization... bla bla bla...

After we smuggled Brady the dog in and walked into the Suite... our jaws just dropped to the ground
 at the sight of the mosquito infested room adorned with, I dare say an artistic looking green plastic couch accompanied by a beige plastic pillow. By artistic I mean along the lines of  Joseph Beuys  and company..

Loved every minute of it. Would do it again on stilts.

Miss you guys.

Every Trannies or "Ladies in the know" dream - Pick one, Any one




Between Hooker hill and Gay hill.. where else would you expect to find this glitzy, decadent little haven. Remember, this isn't India or Asia minor, this is Korea.

Taking Clarithromycin And Bad Taste In Mouth

Welcome Back to Civilization



Die letzten Wochen war ich sehr viel unterwegs. Anfang April stand Toronto Canada auf meiner Agenda. Unfortunately, there is no direct flight, and do enter, I had about Vancouver to Canada.
addition to the flight attendants of Air Canada were only a handful of Caucasians (as we are here called friendly) on the flight.
This led on getting in, while the flight, and landing some difficulties.
reason for this is probably a general aversion to seat belts. Are also closed to road traffic is very reluctant, and so there were long discussions whenever the seatbelt sign comes on.
The concept that you can not take off and landing as well as in turbulence is to run about seems to be alien to the Koreans.
had arrived in Vancouver one then by immigration. The Authority was prepared, because all the officials who were there were the Asians probably originally came from Korea.
When I turn came, I viewed Mr. Park (the Canadian Immigration Officer with Korean roots) in surprise.
"You are from Munich Germany?" Short pause "Why are you living in Seoul !!!!!!". The last question was reinforced with an incredulous expression.
I answered him that I am working in Seoul. He then shook his head and gave me a stamp and passport
said "Welcome back to Civilization"
I think Mr. Park was shocked, because he forgot to ask me the usual stupid questions and I was also a verwundert wenig, dass ihrem Exkoreaner anscheinend Heimatland abgewinnen können nicht viel.

Take me out to the Ball Game....




recently went to a baseball game here in Seoul. Stefan were a couple of friends and I ... was .... let's say, interesting. The guy in the photo was the mascot of the team where we had sat sadly beside the losing team. More than anything it seemed that instead of encouraging the fans, wanted to sing karaoke and was almost oblivious to his team. Like the guy was entertaining. Manga half cartoon, half swollen.

I can say that yes, that Koreans and the rest of the world like taxi before a show ... are re good pa'l hueveo. The game was boring, the warm beer and smelly bathrooms. But as the pig passes ... It was a good way to dismiss the lethargic winter and early spring here in the world ... poto [Sorry for taking so romantic]
