I did the height trick again today on two unsuspecting victims. Works like a charm. I seem to be having a Radiohead binge again this week. I have been playing the same song all day on repeat. My iTunes jukebox records how many times I have listened to a song and currently i’m up to 26. Given that I have been at school most of the day and unable to listen to it, plus the fact that I have it on my mp3 player as well, this would tell you something about my listening intensity. It was in my head all the time I wasn’t playing it anyway. I think the kids I’m teaching are getting sick of listening to me sing too. Can’t help it, its just in there and wants to escape and keeps bouncing around until its set free. Yesterday it was the Bluebirds song on repeat, the day before it was the Fog song. I was in Busan at the time and went to sleep with my mp3 player playing the songs and woke up to the songs in the morning. Most people will say I’m a radiohead myself. I won’t dispute this in the slightest.
The Bluebirds song is quite sad in fact. Its about an alcoholic whose life is wasted away. He says, “there’s just a body, there’s nothing left to see”. Its sobering and makes you want to live your life as best you can without wasting it on activities that get you nowhere. At least that’s what it means to me.

I have been adding pictures today for the photo section and I realised that now I have more pictures of Busan than I do of Seoul. Its funny, you go on holiday and take heaps of photos, but overlook the place which you live. So this weekend I’ll have a holiday in Seoul and take lots of scenic pics to even the score.
Lastly for the day, I’d like to take time to thank all of the people I have met here so far in Korea. You have been great friends to me and have each shown me a great time and taught me many things that I wouldn’t have known. I won’t forget you. I’m sorry if we don’t get to spend much time together, but I hope I can see you soon. I’m really going to miss you guys when I’m gone. Oh, I’m getting sad now, so I think I’ll stop.
