A three year old Fuji Finepix camera bought from another foreign teacher, living in Seoul, from South Africa, black, who said he was of Zulu heritage. Just saw it on the internet, met him, and it has worked fine. 10 times optical zoom, very nice camera. Been thru all sorts of weather, hiking, loaded on motorbikes, etc. It had also been dropped previously jarring the battery compartment door, but it still works.

The computer I'm using, P4, with printer, new board, optical mouse, and a used printer, set of speakers. The monitor is an old tank, indestructable, LG IBM model. All for 150,000 won and the shop guy drove out 22km to set it up.

Seinhauser walkman headpones, made in Germany. 70,000 won Kyobo books Kwangwahmun.

Most helpful item: 50cc scooter. Kinda slow and I want to upgrade soon, but it gets me around.

Next: iPod. One of my favorite things in life is listening to good driving music on my headphones and scootin' around the neighborhood.


Qin, you have a deathwish? These two things shouldn't be mixed.


What? I can't hear you..

Actually, y'know, I don't understand why people say that. When I drive, I don't use my ears at all. Instead, I'm constantly looking around and trying to anticipate others' moves.

What I'd really love is to have little speakers installed directly inside the helmet with a plugin hole and volume dial at the base of the helmet. That would kick ass.

A body massage in Tokyo on New Year's Eve: nothing sexual, just an incredible muscle, joint and circulation workout. Best I've ever had.

Maple syrup to put in my oatmeal porridge: done as a note of nostalgia but discovered it's better that way than on pancakes!

Extra ice cube trays: It was about time I stopped running out when I most wanted them.

The new Norah Jones c.d. 'not too late': The closest thing to Southern chillin' tunes since the Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack (though Nelly Furtado's Folklore was folksy swingin' smooth too).

An all-weekend car rental on Jeju Island: Did the entire coastline last June, with the best places being off the main drag.

I like the touch screen for things like the korean/japanese/english dictionary and chatting. Games like elite beat agents are fun on the touch screen too. The fact that you can play all the Gameboy advance games is cool too.

I'm the same way. And I've been riding long before I got to this country and still no wrecks.
Keep your head on a swivel and expect everyone else to kill you, and you don't have to worry about your ears.
(its not like we have the music deafeningly loud, I can still hear sirens and car horns and the like)

It was just over 12 months ago I got my digital Cannon camera, and that little thing's been the best W270,000 I've spent in Korea yet.
