A DIARY

December 27th

Last night I had a few boxing day beers at the pub. I was surprised at how slow the establishment was. I guess fatigue from the long holiday weekend will do that. A pleasant evening and had a bit to eat their too, but for the new year coming I plan to make the pub less of a hang out. It isn't only the beer money it's that I want to focus on a few other things in my life, such as studying, and getting better sleep.

This article, originally titled Christmas Tree Originated From Korea had me shaking my head. The Korean Times has since changed the title as you can see by checking the link. I've written before about the Korean rags, but I forgot to mention this type of article. It's the type that flies out of left field and assaults the mind with bad decorum. Masturbatory at best, these articles cheapen the newspaper, cheapen the expat discourse, and are a disservice to Korea. What drugs were they on? And don't they know they are illegal in Korea?


Work and study will begin to become quite heavy next week, and after the new year, I will have an avalanche of stuff to do. I'm looking forward to it, for it will keep my mind off more depressing issues revolving around me.
