Duran Duran Coming To Seoul Next Week!

Duran Duran are one of my favourite bands of all time.......really!
And yes, they are going to grace our presence here in Seoul next Thursday, April 17th at 8pm at the Olympic Gymnasium.


I just purchased two tickets, so I am going there. I am going to take a friend of mine, Caroline who is Korean, but speaks Spanish and that is the link between us. I get to practice my Spanish with her whenever we meet. She spent a year in Guadalajara last year. I also taught her sister, Amy, for about 6 months while she was here in Korea and even when she left for Mexico. Unfortunately, I am not teaching her sister anymore. She was too busy and going to middle-school, which is always a busy schedule for all Korean children.


I am really excited about going. I have never seen Duran Duran, but have every one of their cds and love the group. It is in a really small venue, so it should be awesome. I have started listening to Duran Duran everyday and will continue to do so until I go to the concert. I love their new album; red carpet massacre!


So much has happened since I last did a real blog. I don't know where to start really.

I have been so sick the last few months and trying to shake it off. I ended up going to the doctor on Monday in Bundang and he said I have a nasal infection, eye infection and laryngitis. I am taking medecine now for the next 7 days. I hope that the infection finally goes........ I don't feel too, too bad, but am tired of waking up with sore eyes and a sore throat. Most Fridays, I can't even speak when I first wake up. Due to the nature of my job, I am always using my voice and it has no time to rest. Never mind that I never shut up talking anyway.......hahaha.


One of my friends, Sara, nicknamed me Sir Talkalot, an apt name, I think!!!!!!

Anyway, I am hoping to feel a lot better over the next week or so. If not, then I will go back to the doctor and get more antibiotics. I will get rid of this infection, I am bound and determined, this time.


I have joined a new gym. It is closer to me and half the price of the Hamilton Hotel. It has no sauna, but I don't need the sauna now with the heat of the summer on its way.

It is on the main road close to me, so I can get off the bus and go straight there. It looks quite good and has the same as the other gym; shorts and shirt provided and towels. It has all the machines that I need as well as running machines.


Monday is the day that I get right back into the swing of things. Start going regularly again. The gym is open to 12 at night all weekdays, so I have no excuse for not going.


Liverpool made it into the semi-finals of the Champions League. This will be the third time in 4 years and we get to play Chelsea again for the 3rd time. I think the other semi with Man Utd and Barcelona will be won by Barcelona. I am hoping for a Liverpool vs Barcelona final in Moscow. That would be just dandy!!!!!!!!


Enough for now. I am off to Bundang tonight with Chris to see Dave.Then tomorrow another small city north of Seoul with Jason who is leaving for China to work on Tuesday. I met Jason on a visa run to Japan. We were sitting next to each other on the plane, going there. We have been friends since. I have been promising to go with him for 3 months and kept renegging. Not this time. We should have a blast and I am sure, a crazy weekend.........
