Clean It Up

The downstairs neighbour’s dog had puppies a few weeks ago; they are gone now. I assume they have either been sold to a puppy mill or have been tortured and eaten.
I bought a bike. I biked from Nowan Gu (Far north) to where I live in Gangnam Gu (far south.) It took me about two and half hours on the loveliest bike path on which I have ever ridden. I followed the man-made tributary from Nowan down to the Han on a perfectly maintained path that was nearly empty because it is a smoking hot Tuesday afternoon. At one point there was some confusion around an underpass, but I hit a dead end pretty quickly. Then crossing the river and finding the bike path on the other side was rather complex but I figured it out quite well and finally found myself back in Irwon-dong. Home Sweet Home. It was a lovely ride except for the sunscreen melting into my eyes and the murderously uncomfortable saddle, as the kids call them these days. I am so excited to be the owner of a bicycle in Korea. This is by far the best bike I have ever owned and incidentally this is the only bike for which I have actually paid money. I guess it’s worth it to have a bike that hasn’t been pulled out of a dumpster.
Sally is leaving next week and I am trying not to be sad.
Bryan and I are officially on vacation, so I’m not going to write about work, except to say that it’s hard but awesome.
I also got a hair cut. The boy stylist was adorable and had a black and white checkered holster for his scissors and combs. He still kept dropping everything. I think cutting my hair made him nervous. He did a very good job. Korean haircut 2.1 is officially successful.
And Inception. Awesome.
I still party too much, but there are about 39 posts from last year to which you can refer. It’s pretty much the same.
