After spending some time in Korea, I started to wonder, why are there so many Christians in Korea, how did they get here, when, why. Yeah, I know this is a delicate subject and people usually get offended but get over it. I was very surprised when some people I’ve met, instead of asking me: “Do you have a religion?” or “what’s your religion?” they would ask: “Are you a Christian? Just assuming everyone’s Christian…

I met a girl once. And was really really into her, thought of her all the time, tried to see her often, wrote her every day, brought her a gift every time i met her and tried to make every moment we spent together a special one. Would have done anything for her. She made me want to be a better person, she inspired me. And every time I was with her I couldn’t help…

I wish I had a camera or one of those new phones that can take pictures so I could put pictures or videos on the posts here. Last time I had a camera it was in 2005, I remember because it was very big! I think Mike gave it to me as a present and I was so very excited about it!! For like 3 weeks. But if I had one of those smartphones I…

In the few months I’ve been in Korea, only managed to make 2 non-coffee shop friends, but today one of them left, Maxi went traveling for a few months, so now only Okkeun’s left. And he will also go traveling next month :(((( A non-coffee shop friend is a friend I can meet outside the coffee shop. Meaning there is no need to meet at a loud and crowded location, like a coffee shop, bar,…

Have you noticed how, if you speak more than 2 languages, your personality is quite different depending on the language you are using? And you can find yourself playing a handful of different characters during the day depending on the language. In my case, my personality will change something like this: Spanish: even though it’s my native language I found it utterly difficult to express myself in Spanish. So my personality is usually very shy and…

Old weedy guy: Which security guard? Bruno: Oh, come on! you live at the airport too, right? Old weedy guy: No way, what makes you think that? Bruno: I saw you washing your underwear on the toilet sink this morning. Old weedy guy: That…

I went to watch a documentary, the name was: ” My heart is not broken yet”. It was about an old Korean lady who was a comfort woman, a sex slave for the Japanese army during the war. She spent the last 10 years, and lots of money, filling and following a lawsuit against the Japanese government, asking them to issue an official apology to her, because she knows Japanese don’t like to apologize or…

Been a good boy lately, did some exercise, inspired a few people, seeded most of my torrents most of the times, but still don’t feel like I’m making any difference. I learned the words “chigeopi eopseoyo” something like “I’m unemployed” in Korean, to answer people’s questions. And I remember when I was in Japan and learned the acronym NEET (neeto) which stands for “Not in Employment, Education or Training” so I could accurately explain what…
