Aaron's Farewell Party

Aaron is finally leaving Korea tomorrow and his going away party is tonight. Yet another of the somewhat old guard is leaving and will be replaced by more fresh-faced newbies. English teachers here are like the fabled Hydra, chop off one head and more grow in its place. Maybe more like a planaria since they are less dramatic.

In any case, I'll miss his bleak outlook on anything that has to do with Korea and the fact that he's the only person I've met here who doesn't look at me strangely when I eat french fries with mustard. Flat-footed dancing in the gay clubs won't be the same without ya, big guy. Have fun back in Chicago and make sure to keep dose muddy shoes outta da fruchroom!

It's actually a going away party for both of us.

...so I'm casually hangin' ten on the big triple W when I decide to check out your blog. And what do I see?!?!?! Aaron, the closet Koreaphile, is leaving Korea? For good? Are you sure he's not merely going off for another of his extended vacations to prostitution paradise....,I mean,...Cambodia?? And George too? What is this world coming to??

Joel you need to hang ten over onto your own damn blog and fucking post something. It's been like a year and a half. How are you and Heej doing? Hit me up with a mail man there is much to be caught up.

Oh, and apparently when Dave and Terry showed up at Aaron's apartment this morning at 10am (he was supposed to be at Incheon at that time) they found him shirtless in bed still. The incident left Dave blind and Terry somehow fixed his gimp eye. They are now a superhero duo.

Ha-HA! Why would they get Aaron a ticket for 10 AM? You know that's too early for him. That's like getting a ticket for us one hour after we went to sleep.
