title stolen from smoke city's seminal album flying away, and i mean seminal in the best way possible. below are some pictures of the day i flew to seoul.
the love of my life, with the stepmum who has promised to foster her while i'm gone.
kuya and the wiley wonkers kabonkers saying goodbye.
me & buddy siege on the plane after the first of our many korean meals together.
view from my window seat, somewhere over luzon.
somewhere over taiwan. the flight wasn't very interesting.
ngrarag from the 4-hour flight. in a taxi with yea jin & siege, on some highway from incheon to seoul.
very long drive over flat dry & cold landscape. it doesn't look cold here, but it is. like a full-body slap that you shakes you down to your bones.
more of the same. fell asleep from boredom & lack of sleep from the night before, spent packing & checking english 1 exams. woke up at crimson house, whose motto is "you belong to crimson house!!"
with indonesian writers asma & cecep. our first dinner in chilly seoul, a restaurant that opened 1971, on a street we call pedro gil (chang-something-gil is its real name) near korea university.
this is yea jin, our program manager. when she met us at the airport, she looked like a serious young woman working for a government institute. as you can see, krung krung pala siya. hindi naitago ang tunay na pagkatao niya. heh heh.
