Dinner was Dok Galbbi, or chicken, rice, and potatoes, cooked at the table for you.  Delicious.  Then off to Crazy Duck.  Seedy dive bar/club.  It was tiny a mini-club.  I was adopted by a Korean named Leona (her english name).  It reminded me of True Romance. Go to minute 1.25.

Skylar, the woman in charge of money and such stuff at Kim and Lee, keeps telling me I need to get my aryan card.  I'm thinking no way am I getting an aryan card.  I figure out eventually that she's saying alien card.

I need a clever name for a south korea travel blog. Unfortunately, Costaylorica won't cut it any more.  So suggestions are welcome.  Also I really dislike the periods before major life upheavels.  Especially the periods where you don't have any friends nearby.

This was my exercise in tact and conscience.
