Reverse Culture Shock

After 15 months of submersion in Korea it's a bit of trip to return to my home, Canada. This post will chronicle the things I once took little or no notice of.

018-Proudly Canadain


017-Clerk Clown


016-Happy Halloween


015-A House Cat


014-No Sandels No Drain


013-Napkins Replace Toilet Paper


012-Mozzarella Cheddar Gruyere Jack


011-A Drink From The Tap

I didn't die or get sick and it's damn hard to drink like this from a water cooler.

010-Just Imagine My Sandwich!

No - it's even better than it looks!

009-Where Is The Step Up?

No pile of shoes? No step up onto the main floor? Diiirrrrtttyyyy!

008-Dish Washer


007-Oven


006-Lawn


005-Nature I Can Touch From My Window

I woke up to this my first morning. Not only are there plans outside my window, I could jump out of my window without dying!

004-Only In Canada

Hockey and whales sharing the front page.

003-East Indian Cowboy Traffic Warden

So many characters in this land! I had some amazing portrait shots and later realized there was no memory card in my camera :(

002-Trucks


001-I Was Only Gone A Minute

This is one of the first thing I saw when I walked out of the Vancouver airport. In Korea the general rule seems to be if you can get your car on, under or into it - then park there. Tow trucks are only for removing wrecks.

Eat my Bread...

French toast is on the menu this morning.
The freshly baked loaf of bread was purchased in advance last night and set in the cupboard to dry. The anticipation built as I slept on the kitchen floor.

I awake to bread crawling with tiny red ants..

French toast is on the menu this morning.
Eat my bread you fucking ants! Borrow deep into it's fluffy holes and tunnels. Then my sticky egg batter can engulf you. Ant and unborn chicken will fuse together. I'm happy you've invaded my bread. A perfect substitute for my expired vanilla extract.

French toast is on the menu this morning... and it tasts amazing.

060315-Board Break'n Bikers
Watch Paul (Honda 125), Bryant (Hyosung XRX 125) and Greg-o (Hyosung Comet 250) tear up the streets in the quaint South Korean town of Gumi. These three English teachers haven't the first clue about stunt riding and this shines blatantly through all Greg's fancy editing work.

My daily ride to school...

Flyering High

The rock band and DJ gig were well received at Psycho last week. The Love Guns and Jack Coke got the crowd rocking from around 11:00-12:30. Their heavy sound filled the floor quickly with headbangers and jumpers. My self, Comatosed, and Dj SwampCat continued to rock the club until 6am. Midway through the night cloths started coming off and many sexy ladies (with the exception of Jason :) were up grinding on the bar and tables. The dance floor hosted a similar, slightly more explicit scene. When the music finally stopped fifteen or so of us saw the sun rise and went for some Sam Gyup Sa at my favorite dirty Sam Gyup Hut.

This weekend there'll be a new Dj in the mix. Shawna will be spinning Rap and HipHop, SwampCat will be laying down Drum & Base, Ragga Jungle and HipHop, and I will be flooding the floor with various funky, deep and progressive house tracks. I hope takes two restaurants to feed everyone this time around!

Here are the flyers from last week:
