The cemetery was peaceful - but that's what people always say about cemeteries, don't they? They're always carrying on about how "peaceful" they are. I can't say that they're really wrong. Except for a couple of maintenance guys, there was no one really there. Bunches of flowers gave a break of color between the green of the grass and the grey ( Read more... )

You made me cry... vgsalsa June 30 2010, 15:52:26 UTC

Amazing writing...I'm actually sitting in NYC, a continent away, with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Thanks Vigi. Actually, you're just on the other side of the same continent. I'm in Oly right now on a visit.

"This added up to two if you count the night before the flight that I spent with my girlfriend MH, holding her and gazing into her eyes, wondering why I had to fall deeply for a girl just before a long trip to America."

Hey, can't a man love a girl?

That was really powerful writing. It almost made me cry. I also really enjoy your blog and hope you don't stop writing anytime soon.

Keep it up,

I wouldn't have guessed that a post from you would bring a lump in my throat. It brings me some small comfort to think that the dead are still with us in our hearts and memories and in the way we live our
lives. I'm glad you could spend time with your grandmother.

Great blog. I read it frequently. Have you ever thought about creating a channel on YouTube and doing a vlog? You seem to lead an interesting life (whether you think it or not) and I believe a lot of people, in the US and the world audience that reads your blog, would really enjoy it. Digital HD cameras, about the same size as a cell phone, would cost around $150USD. You could bring it out with you and record your thoughts, nights out drinking, your experiences with Korean culture or whatever you blog about. It adds another dimension to your digital world. Just a thought. I think many people would enjoy watching them.
