Personal Best

Yes, yes, yes, long time no post, yadda yadda yadda.

Last Thursday I inadvertently caused two kids, in two different classes to blow drinks out of their noses. A personal best.

Ulsan, South Korea an environmental abomination! I recently saw a banner declaring "Automobile Day" for something like May 16-19. Way to go Ulsan! I'm not sure exactly what will be happening on Automobile Day but title just brings images to mind of a campaign where people are encouraged to just get out there and drive. Even if you don't have any where to go, you can turn on the car and rev it a little bit.

I'm always delighted by Ulsan's attempts un-PC attempts to promote culture with it's festivals and special days: Environment in trouble? Well, lets have an automobile day. People love driving their cars, don't they? It's convenient. Whaling a sore issue? Well, lets have a festival celebrating our whaling heritage. We'll hold it at our Whale Museum, which, don't let the name fool you, it's not actually about whales, is about catching them and eating them.

My parents are coming to Ulsan at the end of May for two weeks. It's gonna blow their minds! Now, I'm gonna go out and drive around in preparation for automobile day!
