bring on the care packages

My Thai trip is officially canceled. My travel buddy backed out, which is understandable given the recent political upheaval, but extremely frustrating for me. Anyone interested in Cambodia? Ech, as much as the idea of staying in Seoul for my only 2 week vacation sounds relaxing, I'd rather pass.

I'm sure it will all work out for the best, and if I can get my money back from the travel agent I'll at least have some more money for travels after Seoul.

Now if you will excuse me I have to look into buying bricks of gold before I lose all the money I'm making here to the horrible exchange rate. Bahumbug.

Oh, before you all think I'm about to throw myself off a bridge, I saw Jens Lekman this weekend and realized life is worth living. The venue was small and packed, but we got a great spot and after the show he hung out for a while.

According to the Korean newspaper, Jens not only brought a great show to Hongdae, he brought some "indie cred", too. Indie cred. Indie. cred. Did I mention Korea's top notch journalism.

And now, for the man we have all been waiting for...Jens Lekman...the man responsible for bringing hipsters to Hongdae:

That upsets me. I hope you get to have a proper break.
