I went to the big house on Saturday. The big house. The Seoul Detention Center, which is funnily enough called Seo Gucci Seoul in Korean. Makes me conjure up images of Parisians in designer velour track suits carrying dachshunds or toy poodles in their handbags. So much not like that! I've never had a friend to visit in jail before. Such an experience.

Nice.

Speech from an 11 year old
We recently held a speech contest among our elementary students at Kang's Language Institute. While this student's speech did not quite cut it for the finals that were held on Saturday, it meritted a photo copy and a blog. This is from Ron, my most talented and youngest male student in my 6:00 p.m. class of hellians. The topic is "If I were the President of Korea..." and the speech is verbatim:

When I become president of Korea I will live in chunwade with my friends and I will make many places to play nad computer games to play and I will destroy the alchol shops and build many airports and make many computers and atomic bomb. and and very big bomb I will make people to have a computer and a building. and I will give many food and I will blow up North Korea and Iraq and I will make a Battlecruiser and a siege tank and a wraith and Dropship and go a travel to Europe and buy many cars i like.

Ron
How funny is that? Most of the more complicated language stems from the wildly popular computer game that eats up most boys' lives here in Korea - Starcraft.

Today is a monumental day in the life of one of my dear friends. Congratulations, Mr. Nicolas Porco, on your convocation! Not even three years of life-sucking involvement as a member of SLC could rob you of your B.S.C. Thanks to the Henry's of the world however, you'll be enterring data for the next 15 years to pay for it, but you'll always have those SCUM memories to keep you giggling through the addresses. A Porco-less campus no doubt contributed to the recent decline of U of C in Mcleans... Congratulations, and I'm sorry I missed it. How long did you stop traffic for?

Who would have thought I'd be Toby?



Ahh, the ever-cynical and sarcastic speechwriter. Gutsy and not afraid to speak up or clash with authority, his dry wit is amusing. But under it all he's just a big teddy bear... and the world's biggest Yankees fan.

How much would I rather be CJ? Screw you duckface. I could be CJ. Tact can be learned. It's not like she has that much anyway...

There's a lot to be said for the insides of a secluded mansion. One could occasionally wind her way back down the mountain to manipulate the masses...
