About Me

I'm that kid that just likes to play. I try to think of everything in my life as a big game. Not a game like Monopoly where you try to win, but more like a game of Tag where everybody wins and the game can go on forever. So do you like to play too? If so, let's be friends. My current game is studying international relations in DC. I like it so much it makes me sick. I also have been enjoying myself in DC, but I prefer the parties and the restaurants to the locales. Another funny thing is that I almost never spend my days and nights with the same people. Strange how that works. Cheerio then whoever you are, thanks for stopping by my profile.

My Interests

i like photograpy sometimes, I put a couple shots in my profile if you're interested...No, scratch that. I still like photography, but I took most of the shots out of my profile 'cause I put up a website . I have lots more interests actually (surprised?), but I always seem too lazy to input them here.

Narita Airport SUX

Narita airport blows. The only other major airport I can think of that is this horrible is LaGuardia. No, LaGuardia is worse. But I'd still rather spend a 4 hour layover in almost any other major hub ...

My love-hate relationship with the cabbage

OK, I am slowly getting comfortable with Korean culture, but I just haven't been able to figure out how I feel about Kimchi yet. Basically I eat it every day (one of the many kinds) and while I am hun...
