So I'm gonna head back to the States at the end of this contract. Since I've been here for two years there are going to be a whole lot of stories and pictures to share, but what you can't really share is what it feels like to live here. Since all of my younger siblings play Magic: the Gathering I had an idea that perhaps I could share the experience with them through this card game.

So, I'm making a set called "Korea: the Sparkling". I'm gonna print them out and paste them to the fronts of cards so we can shuffle them up and have a fun game. I've got a bunch of ideas so far, but I could always use some more help.

Here's what I have so far...

Creatures:
Miniskirt Girl
Salary Man
Ajumma
Adjosshi
Student
Army Draftee
Tiny Dog
Magpie
Kim Yeon-A
G Dragon
Lee Myung Bak
Crazy Bus
Restaurant Worker*

Sorceries:
Fan Death
Visit the Graves
Company Dinner
Standard Dogma [flavor text: did you hear that kimchi...]*
Coupling
Climb the Mountain

Instants:
Bump*
Sidewalk Driving
Spit*
One shot
stare*
blackout
public display of emotion*

enchantments:
plastic surgery
perm
alcoholism
American beef
death of a leader
internet naming system
news story
synchronize

Artifacts:
kimchi pot
scooter
cheap smokes
shiny suit
soju
engrish textbook*

Lands:
hagwon
noraebang
officetel
hof
dmz
dokdo
pc bang

If there's a star next to it I still need a picture, so upload it to photobucket. I made an account there:

I uploaded a picture for you, Mint--a couple kids with a "Fundamentals of English Grammar" textbook. Or you can google the book and cop the pic from amazon?

I think ddong chim would be a good addition to your sorceries or instants.

I've also added a picture for bump. Not the greatest quality, but it's a screen capture from the infamous video of a korean grandmother pushing the bride out of the way as she walks down the aisle.
