Reasons for moving to Seoul:
Reason #1 was so I could date, fall in love, not get married, and live happily ever after.
Reason #2 was so that I could do fun things that did not involve batting cages.
Things were going swimmingly with both. I was two dates away from changing my Facebook relationship status and I’ve already been able to do a lot of fun things.
Then, my would-be admirer told me they were moving to Indonesia.
I think I’m feeling a little bit, what others call, broken-hearted…
I’m not too familiar with this particular emotion. It just doesn’t happen to me all that often. I think it happened once in 2001, last year when I read Brokeback Mountain, and now.
However, I still have Reason #2, and despite being quite sad, my friends and I went to a fusion gayageum (가야금) concert this weekend with Yeoul (여울).
I love the gayageum. It’s an incredibly beautiful 12-stringed zither, and the concert was amazing.
Reason #1 sucks right now, but Seoul’s really picked up a lot of slack with Reason #2.
Here’s Stairway to Heaven and Under the Sea. Probably not what King Gasil had in mind… but it was awesome. You can check out all the photos here.

Don’t be brokenhearted! You introduced me to the gayageum and nori bang in one weekend– basically you are an amazing fount of Korean culture and fun— someone better will come along!
