How was Seoul? Eh... seoul seoul...

Not really, Seoul was great! I finally found the juggling shop! I had apperantly walked by it twice. Once a few weeks ago, and once this time. But I knew it had to be there, so the third time I walked up the hill from the Subway exit I was slow and careful and sure enough I found it! So I invested in a set of juggling clubs. They are the bowling pin looking things that you juggle. It is said that if you can juggle balls, and clubs, you can juggle any kind of object you can lift and throw. I say invest by the way, because 1) I am a clown, and one of the things clowns do is juggle 2) I am going to join the juggling club (as in group) which meets at the shop in the warm months on Saturdays at 3pm and then goes somewhere and juggles (starting next week coincidentally) 3) I am going to teach my students how to juggle between classes. I am going to buy cheap ankle socks, and beans and make bean bags for them to juggle with... and maybe just maybe, I might get some more clubs, and we can try juggling and passing them before I leave here.

I also wish to mention that the girl who sold me the clubs had a broken foot from mountain unicycling. How cool is that?

In other news, I found another used bookstore, and bought some more books to read. Yay for books!

I also wandered around on the subway some, and ended up at the Deoksugung Royal Palace where the King who invented (or caused to be invented) Hangul, the Korean writing, ruled from. It was really cool. The placed screamed kung-fu movie. I promise to have pictures up of it soon.

Yah for books. I like that comment. I'm hoping you are having a great St. Patrick's day there! Heather in Abilene.

On the last post: that is badass that you keep playing soccer, and then playing like such a champ that you get war wounds.
On this post. Your seat post is too short for me on the unicycle and I think it is crimped. I am working on it.
