Finally, I'm at work so things are slowing down ...

Wait, I'd better erase that in case the boss stops by. Well, it was quite a weekend. Friday night, Brian and two others from the JoongAng daily stopped by the Seoul Foreign Correspondents club to hang out with fellow ink-stained wretches. What a raucous party. There were about six white men, all in their 60s, hanging out and drinking Korea's own Hite beer, which makes Coors Light taste like Guiness.

The next day, we had lunch with Patty's Park cousins (a few of them pictured below, the middle is In-bae, with his wife and daughter). We went to Samwon Gardens, which is owned by the family of LPGA golfer Grace Park. When she wins a major tournament, dinner is free. Unfortunately, it's been a while ...


Jack seemed to enjoy himself....
