Oh, I love your photos! Sometimes they're artsy, sometimes investigative -journalismy (ha!), sometimes sweet, sometimes disturbing (smiling de-capitated pig heads...yow!). What goes through your mind as you see all these sights? Does it feel like you're someplace like the US but with a different language, or is in intrinsically different? In any case, so glad that you're getting a chance to travel!
Things here are pretty quiet at the moment. Rick is gone till tomorrow. New Directions is coming up this weekend, but it's pretty low-key. And as I'm not doing any other shows at the moment I have lots of free time. Maybe too much... ~lol~...don't know what to do with myself... :)So, I will keep checking your blog daily :)
Much love!
Steph
Oh, jeez, New Directions. I should go see some stuff, I guess! :P
I think it's funny how Americans get squeemish about what their food really looks like. We'd rather have it completely divorced from it's animal form. Except for seafood. Which is particularly ironic for me, since I hate seafood. We can't have the pig head on the table, even though I love bacon, but we can have your sea rat dripping sand all over the freakin' place, looking at me with those bug eyes and smelling like rotten mud. That's just fine. UGH!!!
What a difference, though, between being born next to the sea and growing up landlocked in MN. I remember having a conversation with a park ranger in Australia, and when he found out I was from WI he went on and on about what great wetlands we had. It really changed the way that I thought about the Midwest, you know, from this dry prairie land to realizing just how much this area has always depended on it's lakes and rivers. Reading about Western Expansion really drives that home, too, because most of the trails west followed the rivers. Anyhow, blah blah blah WATER.
I'm glad you're having fun! Thanks for sending pictures! I miss you!
the pictures rule - thanks. anytime i can get to a beach or ocean it feels surreal, having grown up in the prairies of ND.
yeah, i'm a wus and don't need to be reminded of the animal i'm eating. had a dream where i finally made it to korea and my thought was "it looks just like iowa, only more ancient" (??!)
great to get to see your continuing adventures!

stephanie: thank you! most of the good ones are sheet luck - i take so damn many photos some of them are bound to turn out okay. ~grin~ you have to sneak photos of older people at the markets. they get pretty upset if they see you taking their photo. i wish i had a better zoom. ~lol~
you know what, sometimes i feel like i'm someplace different from the states and sometimes i feel like i'm at home. i don't know if it's because i'm so comfortable here or because i love to travel so much. maybe a little of both. i guess mostly i'm just excited to be exploring. lots of things here are intrinsically different from the states, especially from minnesota & wisconsin. hrm. will have to write a blog entry on this topic sometime. :)
have fun with new directions this weekend!!!!!!!!! am glad it's low key. yay, less stress!! :) it's always nice and weird at the same time to have a break. i hate that don't know what to do with myself feeling. and then just when you're used to it and enjoying the time off, another show starts. ~lol~ oh well. hope you reach the enjoying the rest stage soon! :)
oh dude, melinite: i love seeing decapitated smiling pig's heads in the markets. i love eating seafood and seeing the whole fish. i love sea rats. ~lol~ anything seafood is good. some people don't like to see the whole shrimp or fish or whatever, though. michelle at lunch in pusan at the fish market wouldn't look at the pot with the fish heads. (they were quite roly poly)
water rules! blah blah blah WATER indeed. ~grin~ that's really cool, it's so weird to think of the place you grew up as an exciting or exotic place. when i went scuba diving on the great barrier reef off Townsville in Oz, i was talking with a local who said they took school trips out on the reef from elementary through high school, so the reef wasn't a big deal to her. she'd just started working with a tour company, and said it was eye opening and a little weird to see people google-eyed over the reef's beauty.
dude. i want to go back to australia. and this time hit new zealand. wanna go?? :)
i miss you too, man. come visit me!!! seriously, lam family vacation, in korea! :)
jen: ~LOL~ nice dream! would it be disappointing if it did look like iowa? i can't wait until spring hits full force and things start turning green. ohohohohoh.
what do you like better, prairie or ocean?
happy new directions opening soon!!! how have rehearsals gone? hope you have a super turnout!!! :)
I can't stop humming the Boar's Head Carol after seeing those pig faces.
"The Boar's Head in hand bear I, bedecked with bays and rosemar-I."
