Hey yo, please click on the highlighted link if you’d like to read a three page story. Raging Bulls of Change. It sure as shit ain’t poetry and it’s too long for a regular blog post, but maybe it’s relevant for some. Plus I have nowhere else to put it.

You have to love Mumford and Sons. Well actually you don’t, but if this song doesn’t make Monday kiff I don’t know what will. I think I fell a little bit in love with Marcus Mumford right now. Tristan, my brother, says it’s perfectly fine to have a man-crush on Marcus Mumford so I guess that’s okay then? Continue reading

My friend Jack is not known for his responsible decision making, and has a rather bad back injury from surfing in waves that were a wee bit large for him a little while ago. So imagine my surprise when Jack and I were chatting on FB and this conversation went down: Continue reading

I found this picture while scrounging through all my millions of folders labelled things like ‘Stuff’, ‘Bits and Pieces’, ‘To Edit’ and other names that lead to ambivalence. Continue reading

Christmas came and went recently. I hadn’t been thinking a hell of a lot about it because aside from the ridiculous amounts of fairy lights twinkling in every possible place, it doesn’t get forced down your throat as commercially as it does back in SA. Maybe it’s because only 50% of Koreans are Christian, but whatever the reason – it was really refreshing. Anyway, this isn’t a rant about Christmas; this is to tell you about the epic that is snowboarding in Korea!
I hate stories about how drunk people get. In fact I despise hearing lists of how much alcohol people consumed, unless it was me feeding the alcohol to them. I mean I am interested to know what colour your vomit comes out after mixing things with certain combinations, but really, ‘I drank 15 beers and 12 bottles of tequila’ does not really float my boat. So instead of telling you anything like that, I will just tell you about the sound effects I made when behaving like a first year university student on Friday night. Continue reading

Part of our orientation in Busan was about creating a demo-class with our co-teachers (I have two because I teach at two schools). We had government teaching representatives come in to assess us, which was mildly worrying for people like me who know sweet blow all about teaching. But this is what we came up with, and the commentary was interesting. Eep. Continue reading

I left Suwon on the 21st of August. Our group of Busanites were packed on to a bus after the final lunch do, and we took a four hour leisurely drive down to Busan for our final days of orientation. Considering every single one of us was hung over, running on two hours of sleep and feeling like crap, we slept pretty much all the way. Continue reading
