Cosmopolitan

almost.

Although Seoul still has a ways to go in becoming a cosmopolitan city compared to other Asian cities, it has come a long way when I stop and think about what happened in my day.

On my way to church, I met an African-American couple from Georgia on the 2 line with their two year old son. Afterwards I went to a meeting about North Korea with Americans, a Brazilian and a South African. I never thought one of my close friends in Korea would be from Brazil, but Glau and I click in many ways. We blew about $100 at kyobo book store (always a foreigner convention going on there ) and then went out to eat pork bbq and these sumptuous desserts, including fondue, at Hagaan Daz, which for some reason are unavailable in the US. The couple cakes look amazing and the espresso with ice-cream is the perfect combination of my two favorite vices:

Anyhow, best news is I may have found a roommate for grad school in Maryland right here in Seoul. Looking forward to exploring DC and MD, but nothing is like Seoul of course.
