It's currently 4:32 PM. I've been out since early morning attempting to locate:
- a towel
- undershirts
- boxers
- sandals
- umbrellas

I can say with relative confidence that I have pretty much succeeded in obtaining all but ... one of the items. For the life of me, I cannot (oh my god, I just hit a bunch of keys and could type nothing but Korean for 2 minutes. Eventually me hitting random keys converted it back to Engrish (for future reference: Shift + Ctrl, which should of been obvious to me from the start since that's how our old computer used to switch languages, duh)) locate BOXERS. I think the Korean culture is one dominated by briefs and tightie-whities. I cannot wear briefs or tightie-whities. They are way too constricting. I must "let it hang loose," as they (they being crude people) say.

Of course, I have overspent on the existing items, but can you *really* put a price on being able to shower and wear clean clothes? I didn't think so.

But I'm starting to worry about the boxer situation. I need a pair. But I can't find them anywhere. I can't even find briefs. I can only find women's panties and women's thongs. THONGS. In KOREA. I mean, maybe now is the time to "experiment," if you dig what I'm saying. I hear they're very comfortable once you get used to them, and I am rather desperate...

Ok a completely unrelated and chauvinistic post ensues:

I was walking in CoEX mall (which I consider to my "comfort zone"), when I noticed a couple walking in front of me. The guy, as usual, is very effeminately dressed. He has long hair (that's dyed slightly brown) and is wearing a bright-teal t-shirt (which for some reason didn't look very manly) and is carrying a pink umbrella. I kid you not. Now, I am walking behind them, not thinking about it too much, when all of a sudden, the guy slaps his girlfriend on her bottom.

This wasn't a simple flip of the wrist type of slap. This also was not the friendly "tap on dat ass" that sometimes boyfriends do to girlfriends (I think... I'm not sure if that's "ok" in today's PC world). No, this was a slap that I heard from a good 2 meters away. In a mall. A public, crowded mall.

I'm not sure what the girl did to deserve such a slap, but the idea of this effeminately dressed guy slapping his girlfriend's arse was hilarious to me. I almost busted out laughing.
