Koreana
The title is probably an abuse of the language, but I couldn't help myself.
I am in Seoul Korea as I write. I have just come back to the hotel room from the surreal experience of listening to a Korean cover band do hits from the 60s to the 80s. They did everything with heart and soul and it was fun.
I don't have the right cable to transfer pictures from my camera right now, so you'll have to wait for my return to see anything. Korea has been an interesting experience so far. It all starts with about 15 hours or so on an airplane where I met a nice lady named Donna. Donna is a personal chef in Colorado. I didn't know too much about what a personal chef does, so I asked. She prepares delicious menus for people who don't have time to cook for themselves. Everything is prepared and delivered so that someone can just heat it up and enjoy. I accidentally said the phrase "TV dinner" and she was very polite about it. It is like a TV dinner in that it is convenient. But that's where all of the comparison ended.
It was clear to me that Donna takes her work very seriously. She nabbed pieces of paper so that she could keep a journal of everything that we ate on the plane. She was intrigued by the asian approaches to airplane food and I have no doubt that she was being inspired to try some things upon her return to Colorado.
However, the best story was about why she was on the plane. Her mother was returning to Vietnam for her first visit since she left as a girl of 17 in the 1960s! Donna was going to share the adventure with her. It was Donna's first trip out of the country. Wow! What an adventure! Good luck, Donna!
As I was answering travel questions for her I realized that I've been out of the US border several times. Korea makes my 7th country to visit. My passport has what I would call character now. Amazing! Seoul has been very friendly, but not terribly English-speaking. This is hardly their fault, so I don't mind. But it's always interesting to find myself in situations where I feel a little foreign. It hasn't stopped me at all, though. Just yesterday I performed close-up magic for a sushi-chef. Language was a bit issue. He understood the magic without any problems.
No real news here. Stay tuned for fun things coming on the web site. Right now the only real change is an update to the calendar software which will hopefully make it easier for me to keep my calendar up-to-date on the go.
That's all from Korea for now. Tomorrow look for news about a new on-line audio service that I found that I really want to tell you about. It really shows how technology and art can blend together for everyone's benefit.
I'd also like to show you how entertainment can blend with your commercial message. Consultations are still free so what do you have to lose? Call or email us now.
