Gotta Get Down On Friday

Plans today:

• lunch with Davidico, figure out sidewalk pen situation.
• hang out with Aussie Matt… dang! forgot to bring a copy of his book to autograph!
• quick drink at Liliana’s party

In my lesson yesterday, I tried to ask about a pretty big scandal involving American diplomacy recently. My teacher didn’t know what I was talking about, so I told her that today I’d give her the skinny. I had to look up a bunch of words, but was hesitant to list therm here, which is a shame. I should probably be safe, though, if I remove the Chinese words. And the English words.

Aussie L is stuck at the airport in Seoul with some kind of 20 hour layover. Brutal. Here’s a shout-out…
