Seoul... or K-town?

I was pretty shocked when I first got to Japan. But here in Korea, I feel almost like I'm back in K-town. The weather is surprising cold and dry, but that's the way I like it. My first dilemma of the day was trying to communicate where I was to my homie Alex. I don't read or write Korean, so I had no idea how to tell him the address. After pacing around a bit, I went downstairs and started raiding the mailboxes to take a picture of the address. It felt pretty silly, and it didn't do the job. After wasting a couple of hours trying to figure it out, we finally called Jina and she gave us directions... haha.

Alex is one of the close homies I grew up with and I haven't seen him for over 8 years, so I was pretty excited. I think he was pretty excited too... haha... cuz when he saw me waiting on the street, he stuck his head out and busted a super quick illegal u-turn right in front of a cop. When we realized what happened, the cop was already next to the car. Luckily, they just let it slide. Alex took me to get some traditional Korean food with a million panch'an dishes. Then he introduced me to a couple of producers/artists. One of the producers has actually worked with DNA, the executive producer for 3SK's upcoming full-length album (planned June 2009 release date). It doesn't seem like I have to put in too much work in Korea, since homies here already got the local scene pretty locked. We ate some san gyup sal for dinner and ended up drinking at some bar. We took the party back to Alex's pad and I crashed there for the night.
