ComicWorld visit
Went to Seoul ComicWorld today. It's $4 to get in, which is like, nothing compared to conventions in the US. And of course ComicWorld is held every month so I plan on heading back at least a few more times before I leave Korea. There is a main stage and changing rooms where people change for their cosplays. There was a pretty standard amount of ( Read more... ) -
Hampi (Explorer Day 1 - Dec 7th)
Our first day exploring Hampi we hired a taxi for the day for about $20. He drove us everywhere and waited while we saw the sites. This was a really good way to do it since he knew exactly where things were and took us to them in the proper order to get the most out of the day. The travel guy at the hotel was like, “Oh, you’ll get tired of Hampi by ( Read more... ) -
Delhi-Bangalore-Hospet
We had to wake up at 6:30am to catch a taxi to the airport. I had about 2hrs sleep total but we showered and made it there. The security for the airport is really odd in that they have separate men and women’s lines to go through the detector but there are twice as many men’s lines so the women’s ones always back up. They make you walk through the ( Read more... ) -
Delhi Day 1 (Dec 5th I believe)
The next day I slept as late as possible but the room was noisy because Indians use their horns on their cars all the time, and my earplugs just muffle sound not block it completely, plus it was really bright so I only slept until 11am. We took our time waking up and showering before heading out for lunch at The United Coffee House which is about a ( Read more... ) -
Korea-Shanghai -Delhi
Gimpo airport is only a half hour away from where I live by the airport train so I actually only left for the airport about an hour and a half before my flight. Check in went well and I was able to read for a half hour before we boarded the plane. The flight to Shanghai was only a few hours so I arrived in Shanghai at the Hongqiao airport fairly ( Read more... ) -
Dream, life, jjimjilbang, Seoul Lantern festival
I had a dream the other day that I was living in this weird, semi-autonomous village, and my job meant that I sort of guided people around and got them food/stuff that couldn't be found within the compound, etc. And somehow I ran into Kit Harrington because I had to help him out while he was visiting to do some promo work for GOT. And we got to be ( Read more... ) -
Life update
I just got told a hilarious story by someone who accidentally got lost and stuck behind the scenes (ie not in the public areas) at the Smithsonian one night. These are the sort of stories you only get when you work in archaeology or museum studies. *L ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Two unexplainable bruises on my left wrist and a possibly sprained angle. I have definitely been out drinking tonight. -
Ugh and a dream
So, I ended up having to go to the doctor because my sinus infection wouldn't go away. They give you the antibiotics in a little plastic bag at the clinic so I have no idea what is in them, but after four nights of insomnia, I can safely say one of those ingredients is caffeine. My body can't handle caffeine - I get headaches hours after taking it ( Read more... ) -
Bleach and cold
I spoiled myself for the final arcs of Bleach last night and I was so disappointed that I woke up two hours earlier than normal today and couldn't get back to sleep because I was so pissed off at how stupid Bleach has gotten. The interesting thing is you can tell that so many other people are annoyed by it too because very little fanfic even ( Read more... )
