Hmmm....let's see, it's walking distance from my place, will feature Canadian stuff (whatever that is) and all-you-can-drink-and-eat....sounds good to me. As for a costume...I'll probably go as a salaryman or Wall Street trader (what a lazy-ass I am).

If anyone else is in, please leave a comment or email me from my profile (on the right, near the hideous pic).

Speaking of Yeouido, I used to think that the 63 Building was the tallest in Korea, but it looks as if some are already taller and more, even higher, structures are proposed. Take a look at all of them here and some cool pics of buildings and stuff are here. Then there's this video I found in the forum area...it's supposed to be set in North Korea but it's in Chinese and subtitled in German. Kinda funny, but the stream was a little choppy for me.

And I pilfered this story from Grant's blog. It's really quite odd that Koreans believe in 'fan death'. I go to sleep with mine on all the time in the summer, my air conditioner too (it's a good filter of all the brutal pollutants we have here in Seoul) and I haven't died yet.
