I realize now, upon writing this blog, that it's been well over a month since I blogged my last blog. (Can we think of a synonym for that? Get on it NASA.) I'm reminded of the very famous line from Confucius that reads, "Excuses are like assholes--everyone's got one, and they all stink." So rather than subject you to a laundry list of embellished activities that have occupied my time over the past five weeks, like most travel blogs do, let me reveal to you the simple truth of my whereabouts:
I've been on a Top Secret mission working with Korean officials to uncover the cause of the Cheonan warship sinking last month. After conversing with numerous military experts, nautical engineers, and political scientists, I have come to the conclusion that, contrary to my initial suspicions, the attack was not in fact perpetrated by Red Herring.
You got off this time Red, but that cut-off denim vest top screams civil disobedience.
While we're still hard on the case over here, I have been able to sneak away from my research long enough to take in a little culture here and there. And while it's a little backdated, I will dedicate the next week to catching up on the stories, shenanigans, and under-the-table xenophobia that makes this blog what it is: a threat to my employment in Korea.
