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…
"Poligamy"Author: bonggu
Every time look at the horizon on the deserts of Australia, or when I see the vast tropical jungles in SE Asia. I can’t help but see all the dinosaurs roaming around freely like they were still here. Diplodocus eating from those huge palm trees, plesiosaurus swimming in the sea, the pterosaurs surveying the skies and how our planet was, 160.000.000 years ago. 160.000.000 it’s such a large number that I still can’t really feel…

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…
"Talking to strangers"
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,…

One more thing I learned thanks to Couchsurfing was to feel good about giving and receiving. As I mentioned in a previous post, most people I know are on Couchsurfing, so are most of my best friends. It didn’t happen from one day to the other, took many years and this is how it started: Before I joined CS, I always felt ashamed of receiving without giving something in exchange, and I thought the pay…
"About Couchsurfing 2"
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…

Bruno: I’m going on a trip, would you like to come with me? You: Where are you going? Bruno: It’s a trip to a new place, somewhere only I know. But I could show it to you. You: But I don’t have money, and I need to work. Bruno: You don’t need money, not much time either, only a few hours. You: What kind of trip? Bruno: It’s a trip of self-discovery, a trip of…

In this post, Bruno recalls a dialogue that may or may have not taken place at Incheon Airport in Seoul somewhere around 2.45am. Bruno: So, what’s up with that security guard? 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 took a bus from Penang to KL today, and when I bought the ticket I asked “what time will it arrive in KL, they said, “maybe 7 pm”. Then I thought “why, why did I ask that?” It was the force of habit because it’s not like I have anything else to do today. So there’s actually no substantial difference if it arrives at 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 PM instead. the…
"The bus is late"
It’s hard to describe with words what I felt this morning at the clinic when one of my patients after I finished patching him up, stood up, put his hand on my shoulder, looked at me in the eyes and said: “thanks for looking after me, and the other patients out there, you guys are doing a great job”. He said that even though, I knew he was in pain and had been bleeding out in…
