Ahhmm.. PC-Bangs.. sold my computer and back to the PC-Bang.

First thing they do when I enter is try to say in English 'Can I help you?' Isn't it obvious that if I'm in an internet cafe I want to use the Internet?

Next I get on my computer.. and the kid next to me keeps looking over on my computer.. rubbernecker..

Just got here 5 minutes ago.. will keep updates at regular intervals.

No, Tiger Beer is in Singapore for eight hours, then he's going to the Austrian Alps. After that it might be Spain, unless the urge for Cambodia sets in...

I'm still in Seoul today and tomorrow Sad

Singapore on Wednesday for 8 hours Smile

Madrid will be Thursday Mr. Green

Austrian Alps is a possibility this Summer (August & September).. there is an option to take intensive classes there studying violence, peace-keeping, and lots of other cool stuff that would apply to the Spain course.

Can you see the screen through all the smoke and thick layer of nicotine stains?

It took me 15 minutes to find the least smokiest PC-Bang in my neighborhood.

Current update.. the guy who was rubbernecking looking at my screen left. All seems to be mellow at the moment.

Current update in my PC bang; I've just spilt coffee on the carpet. The people running this place sure take their jobs seriously. Pretty soon the average Korean will need a degree to work in one.

Current update here: One guy is cranking up a song called 'sarang-hae' which I swear I've heard over a million times too many in my life already.

Everyone else seems to have various fighting noises.. grunts, *pow*pow*pow* and all the rest..

I'll let you all know when I use the bathroom and general assessment.

I tend to find that I am the only person in the PC bong who is not playing a game.


Yo TB-
are you going to keep posting after you leave? (sorry, if others have already been asking you that)
