The one where I get my new passport

I got a call on my cell phone today, one of the random times the stupid thing actually rings when someone calls me. It was a Korean guy, and he was babbling as fast as he could in Korean even though I had answered the phone in English. I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about at first, except that it was about a visa ("bee-ja" to be precise). It took a few seconds, but I finally asked him if it was a passport from the US embassy, to which he answered, yes ("neh" to be exact). He wanted to know whether I was home or not, which I was. And as you can see, I have my shiny new passport! They tell me there's a chip or something inside it so that Homeland Security (the KGB that George Bush established) can keep track of me and anyone else that obviously doesn't love America enough to shun foreign travel.

The other day while I was in Ansan visiting friends, Simon loaned me a copy of "Fallout 3".<-- [See note from previous entry] At first, I didn't think I'd like it, but after I got into it, it became really fun to play on the XBox. Unfortunately, nobody told me that when the main quest was completed, the game stops! I had so much I wanted to play yet. Oh well, no sense crying over spilled nuka-cola.

Saturday evening, we had a nice BBQ over at Teddy's place on the deck. It was a composite of Korean and Western style barbecue. Very delicious. The next day, Kyle and I took a trip over to COSTCO for a few items. We also had a disagreement about the Palestinian situation. He thinks that all news reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian problem is totally biased toward Israel. I don't believe that.

On a lighter note, I teach online tonight! The new place we meet in Second Life... I don't feel comfortable at the new place. It's not cozy enough for my style of teaching. However, I obligated myself, so there it is.
