Back in Seoul

So I've been back a few days already, and having a great time of course. First night was spent out with Mr. Dollars and some of his partners in crime. The following day started with a very good fish dinner at a lovely restaurant in Hongdae before we went on to the Loft 2 where lots of the 195-gang was gathered. This also included newcomer Steve who's been visiting Jooyoung for the last few days. Much lovely wine and North Korean beer. Also took an amazing photograph of Steve and our good friend the Janitor aka Security Camera Guy. Then went on to a very small bar that I would never be able to find again. The others then headed off to a club, but I opted for an early night and headed back home to make sure I wouldn't mess up my attempt to get on Korean time by staying out until 8 am and being back on perfect Norwegian time. The heat hasn't been helping either, today it's apparently 34 degrees and 80% humidity. Phew.

Went by the Seoul Museum the other day, everything was in full swing with putting up walls etc. Our space is a big corner space with an opening in one corner, so we actually have four walls. Very nice. A couple of spaces down they were building a very cool-looking many-shaped wooden room that will be very interesting to see what will be used for. The show is called "Where Euclid Walked" and I don't really know much about it yet. Haven't seen the artist list or anything, but I'm sure it will be good.

Bleh. I remember there being lots of stuff I was going to write about but sweatdrop by wretched sweatdrop this heat is draining my brain of all energy and wit.
